It actually is. Basic Royal Kludge RK61 with some various keycaps I had from other builds.
$40 for a wireless (Bluetooth) clicky mechanical that feels good to type on - plus one that has a simple backlight with different lighting modes was just the deal for me, as the most duty this bad boy sees is controlling the PC I have running on my living room TV. Probably going to make another one for the Surface Pro I use for DMing DnD campaigns.
EDIT:
Since there's some interest in this, here are the exact pieces I used for this setup and links to buy them:
-Keycap Set 1 - Almost Everything
-Keycap Set 2 - Blank Green Shift Keys
-Base Keyboard Model
-Mouse
-Mousepad
-Bluetooth Adapter for PC
BONUS:
-It's not the one I have, but here's a cool artificial succulent

Also look into browns. Feel just like blues, but don't have the noise. There are a few options for either type of switch for around $25 to $35 on amazon, all of which are pretty good.
104 key, blue switches, RGB: $30
87 key/tkl, blue switches, blue backlight: $28
78 key, brown switches, white backlight: $26
61 key/60%, blue switches, wireless (with option to wire if you want), backlight depends on color: $40 -this one has some questionable key layouts though, arrow keys take priority over other keys. You could work around this with autohotkey I bet

I am actively typing on this one right now. I love it.
For that price point, the only 60% I can think of that is decent is the RK61.

I would probably have to agree with /u/Teedacus that the MF68 would be a better choice.
Cheers! Which brand do you use? I've found a lot with this layout.
Looks like they're just selling rebranded Royal Kludge keyboards, which have a standard layout, and should work with the majority of aftermarket caps

What are the chances I'd get this unlucky?
I got a $40 Drevo Gramr with an Esc key stuck in the down position, then a day later got a $40 Royal Kludge with a spacebar that would stick halfway down when gently tapped with my right thumb (ie 90% of the time I use the space bar).
Getting a Qisan/Magicforce 68 now, but in the mean time I was wondering if others have had better experiences with any of these inexpensive keyboards.
Velocifire 78 Though I actually meant the Mini, but that appears to be out of stock right now.

Is very solid for the price.
I would advise checking posts on /r/mechmarket first. If you don't see anything there you like, here are a few new options in your budget:

OH NOES I THINK THEY RAN OUT OF THE WHITE ONE!!!! But here's the black one (which I personally really don't like). I think you should be able to find the keeb somewhere online though!

Also a very good price on our Maple Flavored Amazon (no sales but cheaper than importing it from US)
