A better subreddit would be /r/MechanicalKeyboards. That's the top place to go for keyboard advice. If you don't understand some of the terms I'm using, I'd recommend doing some reading on that subreddit.

On getting a keyboard for gaming, you'll generally want low actuation force on your keys (how hard you have to press down), as it decreases the time it takes between your brain saying "I want to press this key," your fingers pressing the key, and the key press notifying the game that a specific action needs to be registered. You'll also want the switches to be linear rather than tactile, as it means there is no "bump" that you have to overcome in order to activate the key. Some people prefer this for typing, but a lot of is up to preference.

Here is a decent little page dedicated to explaining the differences between Blues, Browns, and Reds.

This is still up to personal preference, but generally speaking the actuation force and switch type (linear vs tactile) you end up liking is the type you start out with. You get used to it and like it the most. So if you have the opportunity, try out different stuff and see what you like.

But regardless, I'd recommend a keyboard that uses Cherry MX Red switches. They're the most common switches that have a low actuation force. Most keyboards come with different options for switches - the most common being:

Red (linear, lower actuation) - Smoothest, quickest switch to use.

Black (linear, higher actuation) - Like reds, but heavier. Takes more effort to push them down

Brown (tactile, lower actuation) - There's a "bump" you feel as you press down. Simialar in feeling to a typewriter. Much quieter than blues.

Blue (tactile, higher actuation) - Almost the same as browns, but a tad higher actuation. Also much louder and "clickier."

A good mechanical is going to run you a bit over $100, but here is a great buying guide on the subreddit wiki. If you scroll down, you'll see a $0-100 section.

Of those listed, I'd recommend the Ducky, the CM brands, and the Rosewill (as a cheap option to try all this out).

Realistically, I'd probably recommend you spend 30 more dollars and get a Filco Majestouch 2. I'd argue it's still by far the best keyboard for the price. I'm currently typing this post out on one, and it's what I use for Tekken, Dota, etc. I'm of course biased, but it also has costar stabilizers (I won't explain what that means here), which makes the spacebar and other larger keys much easier to press down. This is also the version that doesn't have the numpad, which makes it a lot more portable and a lot easier to move around. I prefer the TKL (short for "ten keys less) versions myself, but it's up to personal perference.

Anyway, that buying guide I linked you is actually a really good page to read. I'd recommend it heartily. If you have any other questions, hit me up or make a post on the mechanical keyboard subreddit. They're all really welcoming there.
