Reddit mentions of Mechanical Gaming Keyboard,MechanicalEagle Z-77 Multicolor 9-Mode Backlit 87-Key Real Mechanical Keyboard 87-Key with Blue Switches - DIY Spare Switches and Tool Included - Black

If you're looking on the budget end, these keyboards will all be on sale tomorrow:

• Velocifire VM01 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Outemu Brown Switches 104 Keys LED Illuminated Backlit Anti-ghosting Keys (Black)
  
• MechanicalEagle Z-77 Multicolor Backlit 87 Keys Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches DIY Replaceable Switches - Black
  
• Mechanical Keyboard Gaming Keyboard Brown Switch 68-Keys Mini Design (60%) Gaming Wired Keyboard White Silver Magicforce by Qisan
  
• EagleTec KG010 Gaming / Industrial / Office Mechanical Keyboard With LED Backlit 104 Key (Black)
  
  The first 2 are pretty regularly posted on this sub. The 3rd is highly recommended on /r/MechanicalKeyboards as a good budget board (though the more expensive Gateron keys are preferred). I'm not familiar with the 4th, but it looks like it could be the same as a MechanicalEagle with a different badge.
  
  Here is a link that finds all of those keyboards except the Qisan (#3), which is filed under "Electronics" and "Video Games > Accessories" rather than "Computers & Accessories". It should also keep populating in case more keyboards show up, since deals are only posted 24 hours in advance. You should be able to change the price range, but I don't remember seeing any mechanical keyboards for $50+. You can also "Watch" the deals from that link so you are notified when they go live.
  
  Hope this helps, and good luck finding a board!

I bought the same keyboard(minus the numpad) and it looks like a different brand, but same thing.

I bought it as the kid wanted lights and i got it for 23 bucks. I have no complaints for 23 dollars.

Ohh this keyboard looks nice!

I currently have a MechanicalEagle Z-77 and I kinda want to switch for this logitech instead even tho I really like the MechanicalEagle.... (I have a logitech Keyboard and Headset).


What do you guys think?

E-Element Z-77 TKL w/ generic blue switches $59 CAD

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DBVH16U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These Chinese ones are pretty much all the same. For about a year and a half now, random Chinese companies have been buying them up wholesale from Chinese factories, putting their own random branding on them, and then shipping them to the US to sell them via Amazon Prime.

Back when Amazon allowed companies to give out freebies and/or coupons in exchange for positive reviews, I snagged this one for $16 (and no, I didn't review it):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBVH16U/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's extremely similar to other ones I found reviewed on YouTube including identical logos (despite being branded by a different company) and the same broken English instructions so it's safe to say most of the stuff from China is identical.

Some people say these ones use counterfeit/clone Cherry MX blue switches but that is a disservice. These Goate/Otemu ones are pretty decent. They're not as good as Cherry MX blue but they're definitely worth the cheap as hell price that they are asking for.

A mechanical keyboard for $20 is a no brainer.

I've been using the one I bought since April at work and I've had no problems. I answer customer service emails for a small company so I put it through a lot of work.

Thanks pal,
This picture is from a while ago, I currently use a Corsair K70, but I believe this is the board I had when I took this picture. Its a super budget board, but I loved it. Quality is superb for the price.

If you didnt already order you could consider this one. Its got decent build quality, a ridiculous amount of led light modes (if youre okay with the color scheme), and the switches feel and sound very similar to cherry blues. Very good budget mech imo

EDIT: I'm ordering that mem-chanical one as well just out of curiosity now

He might have meant the MecahnicalEagle Z77, which I think he's right. I have the same keyboard minus the replacement keycaps.

Nice. I have a MechanicalEagle which appears to be similar having the same keys and metal plate. It has served me well, but is starting to show its age. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another just like it.

Out of those two I'd go with the K30 since its full size and cheaper. However, you're around the price range of the budget mechanical keyboards, such as these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches/dp/B01DBVH16U/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1473187393&sr=8-7&keywords=mechanical+keyboard

If you don't mind having a clicky blue switch then I'd highly recommend one of those instead of a membrane keyboard.

To start you off:

• Tenkeyless (TKL, 80%): MechanicalEagle Z-77 with blue Outemu switches (cheap Cherry MX clones)
  
• 60%: Anne Pro with blue, brown or red Gateron switches (great Cherry MX clones, even better according to many on this sub)
  
  
  Custom keycap sets: MAX Keyboard, WASD

RBG Keyboard is Mechanical Eagle Z-77 stock, got it on a pricing error for $9 it's actually surprisingly well built and the switches aren't terrible. The other is a Vortex Pok3r Cheryy MX Blues with DSA Eve keycaps, and a red spacebar.

I recently bought the desk from a guy who built it. The only prebuilt part was the legs. The power cords for the Edison bulbs run through the pipe which is nice. The platforms for speakers can move out and in and also rotate. There is actually I pipe that runs down the center with a VESA mount on it. It currently has a 24" monitor mounted to it, but it's hiding behind my ultrawide. I have a dual vertical mount coming on Friday and I'm going to put the 24" above the UW.

Unfortunately the faucet handles are just for looks. Would be super rad to some how wire them as dimmers or something of the sorts.

Thanks for drawing the face, it now cannot be unseen :P

There is no best, it depends on the person. I like a 34 dollar TKL (I still like this one) with blue switches, but I also replaced it with a ducky. Just look around, I checked review videos so I can hear the keyboard. https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/

Here you go: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DBVH16U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I actually ordered one, it arrives tomorrow :D

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DBVH16U/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here's the exact model I got. It is extremely solid. It feels like I could run it over with my car. It has a few different light settings that are pretty cool. Not as versatile in that area as a higher end kb, but for the price I don't think you can beat it easily. There are lots of other similar keyboards in the price range too

I highly recommend this one for $40: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBVH16U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The build quality for the price is really good. The switches are Gaote / Outemu Blue switches, not Cherry MX's, but they feel really nice still, though this is my first mechanical keyboard so I can't compare.
I've had it for 3 months so far and not a single problem, and I'm happy with it!

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBVH16U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used this one for the past year and it's been a joy to use. It just takes up more room in my backpack than I'd like

https://www.amazon.com/Granvela-MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Tenkeyless/dp/B01DBVH16U

This is a great starting point, thanks! I'm also traveling for Thanksgiving, so I'll research each of these after. I have all the peripherals already (this monitor, keyboard ($9 on /r/buildapcsales), and mouse), and also bought a Crucial MX300 750GB SSD I found for $99 on /r/buildapcsales.

https://www.amazon.com/MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Keyboard-Replaceable/dp/B01DBVH16U Best $40 I ever spent on tech.

They're pretty much the same keyboard, the second one you linked has no rgb lighting but there is an rgb version of it for £10 more. If you're gonna use it for csgo, you probably won't need the numpad so i'd say the second option (or the one i linked if you want rgb) is a better choice

Looks like its on sale right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DBVH16U?psc=1

The 10 million actuation life cycle of each switch is a giveaway that it isn't, as well as mechanical only being mentioned in the title and not in the description.

Here's a decent mechanical, and is marketed towards exactly what happened to you.

Here is a mechanical not mechanical like it's has real switches they are load with a click and a bump with no number pad but it's like 30 dollar https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DBVH16U?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1

It's a cheap Chinese mechanical one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DBVH16U?psc=

This is the board I use currently, it's Tenkeyless so it doesn't have a number pad but it does have multiple back lighting modes. It may look a little cheaply made and it kinda is, but it's a great beginner board to know if you want to get into mechs, also it's very loud and clicky and if anyone else lives with you they will hate you.

Bought this one on amazon a few days back, it's pretty good. Prefer these Cherry MX clones over real Cherry MX blues.

MechanicalEagle Z-77 off Amazon?

Not really any mechs lower than $40. But I know Amazon and NewEgg has some around 40-60 with Kailh, Gateron or MX clone switches. Stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Keyboard-Replaceable/dp/B01DBVH16U

thanks so much for your detailed response and advice. My gut instinct is to immediately throw money I don't have because this shit looks so cool. But I should probably wait for a deal..

I requested to be included on that drop..you think it will go through?

What do you think of these for starters? Would most caps like the ones we are talking about work well with these keyboards?

keyboard 1 keyboard 2

On this keyboard, the switches are soldered. Even if they were Cherry Blues, not worth the time to remove. Much easier to get a Z-77 , comes with 5 spare switches and puller

If you are looking for a good first keyboard around that price I would recommend this one.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Keyboard-Replaceable/dp/B01DBVH16U/ref=sr_1_63?ie=UTF8&qid=1499726228&sr=8-63&keywords=mechanical%2Bkeyboard&th=1

Its got good reviews online and you will definitely appreciate a solid build quality. If you are willing to spend a bit more you could get the rgb too, but I don't care too much for lighting.

Hello, I'm looking to get in the game with my first mechanical keyboard. I Was wonder about the quality of this Mechanical Eagle or if it would better to get the Magicforce recommend in the wiki.; Also, if you have any under suggestions, I'm looking for something 50$ or under on Amazon.

I just picked up a mechanicaleagle z77 for $35 bucks. Knockoff blue switches but the thing feels and looks incredible. Look up some reviews, not all knockoff mechs are bad.

Simpler question than the way I worded it previously: are the "Tomoko MMC023" or "MechanicalEdge Z-77" decent enough options at $CA55-60? Close to half the price of the alternative. Links below. While a competitive gamer, I'm hardly a pro.

Tomoko: https://www.amazon.ca/TOMOKO-Water-Resistant-Mechanical-Keyboard-Anti-ghosting/dp/B01DBJTZU2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473283185&sr=8-2&keywords=mechanical+keyboard

I don't know much about the keyboard honestly, but IMO, I'd rather have a cheapish mechanical keyboard than a nice rubber dome keyboard.

No, it has different coloured LEDs for each row. The link below is the amazon listing for it.

I use a MechanicalEagle Z-77, it's not bad for the price but not a top quality keyboard really. The lighting options are amazing and just for the looks, it's awesome, but the feel of the own-brand switches is not so good. Feels fairly imprecise and cheap.

I see 338 reivews from amazon including a Q&A section. what more were you looking for sir?

Hey,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a quiet, LED backlit, tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. It's for work, and I write a bunch of software for SoC validation. Ideally my LEDs would be RGB and programmable to different colors. Budget is like under $150, <$120 would be really nice.

My current keyboard is a $40 designed-and-made-in-China Amazon keyboard with knockoff blue switches and it is REALLY loud. Amazon link to the keyboard I have here. It's got Outemo blue switches I think.

I have found that my wrists and forearms do start to ache if I'm typing for a while as well. So that's why I'm trying to stick with lighter switches (I was a big fan of MX Greens partly because I'm a MX Blue fan first and foremost, but 1. MX Greens are rarer and 2. my coworker has MX Greens and they are a little loud but not bad at all on his Poker keyboard, but I could definitely feel the difficulty in pressing each key compared to lighter keyswitches).

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to buy this keyboard. Do you guys think it's worth 40 bucks and are there any other keyboards you guys would recommend me. Thanks

If you don't want to shell out a lot of money, go for the E-Element Z-77. If you have money to spend, go for the MasterKeys Pro S.

Edit: Links and punctuation

LED colours and keycaps look more like a Z-77.

Usb hubs wouldn't really work for my setup unless it was weighted and had a relatively long cable. That is a nice looking keyboard though, are there any thoughts on this brand though? It's much cheaper, for one.

I bought a cheap Chinese "replaceable" keyboard with crap cherry clones for $36, bought 50 Gateron Brown keys off ebay for $10. In the end i will have keyboard that can easily be modded for ~$46.
