Reddit mentions of E-Element Z-77 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Programmable RGB Backlit, Blue Switches,Wrist Rest, 104 Keys Anti Ghosting, White

There are a ton of adorable RGB mechanical keyboards out there, so it's hard to narrow them down!

I can personally vouch for this one, but my budget is far lower than $200, so maybe you'd like something snazzier?

If that's the case, I'd recommend getting a comfortable, good mechanical keyboard you like the design of, but switching out the keycaps. You can customize a keyboard to your exact preferences that way. This keyset was always very appealing to me, for example.

These are some solid choices around your budget.

I have the same keyboard with blue switches, I absolutely love it, hands down my favorite part of my set up, highly recommend :)

Hi! I'm looking to buy my first MKB and I'm someone who has only used membrane keyboards. I don't play video games too often and I want something that is good for typing. I've searched online for weeks and read the guide on this subreddit but just can't seem to find a keyboard I'm willing to buy. Can someone help me find a keyboard with the following preferences?

-Preferabbly under $100

-Full keys. Must have num-pad. Media keys if possible!

-Loud, clicky, and tactile. I hear Cherry MX blue switches are good for this but I'm okay with any off-brands like Outemo because I probably wont notice any difference since I come from membrane keyboards.

-Good for typing/programming

-RGB keyboard if available in my price range. If this is not possible, I'm willing to settle for a normal backlit keyboard.

-Metal plating or really anything that is sturdy.


Some keyboards I am considering are the E-Element RGB keyboard and the Aukey KM-G3 (amazon links below). Are these good choices or am I looking in the completey wrong place?

Thank you so much for your time and help!

This is what I use. And I adore it.

This one looks nice, I don't know much about the conpany though.

I'm pretty sure my house is made of some kind of wood. This is the keyboard that my friend that lives in Oregon is going to send me for 20 dollars(I live in Cali so I can't test it out).

1.) Try
2.) these.

You can change the lighting on their RGB boards. That is the point. 1 2 3

E-Element MechanicalEagle Z-77

Edited:

Not a lot of choices for white keyboards under $100. These are lesser known brands but reviews are good.

The E Element Z 77 was my first mechanical keyboard 4(?) years ago and it is still serving me well. I got it back when it was the first RGB under $100 and it is about $60 (non RGB models are less) now. A lot of what you are going to want to get depends on what you are going to use it for, but this has been a great typing/gaming keyboard for me.

If you are looking to DIY a keyboard there are some decent budget builds out there, the Corne Keyboard has been really tempting for me lately.

To me, the Masterkeys is overpriced for what it is. Granted, that might just be because of your location. Is there anywhere in Australia that sells this or something similar? I believe this has Outemu Blues, which are louder than other blue switches. They tend to be slightly heavier, too, so you might not like them for games.
