My keyboard was only $75 and I had $50 in amazon gift cards. If you don't get one with tons of fancy lights and shit they aren't hundreds of bucks. They won't make you a game god or anything, but they are quite nice IMO. If it was much more expensive, I probably wouldn't have gotten it tbh.
There is one with MX Red in the warehouse deals on Amazon for $74.30 if anyone is interested
If you want to treat your girlfriend, you could get a barebones WASD V2 and get a set of keycaps for it. Super clean, really solid keyboard. Or you could try and find a CM Storm XT, which while has a slight gamey look to it, isn't really that bad IMO. There's also this rosewill which seems pretty reasonable.
I've been using this for just under a year, served me well so far.
MasterKeys L PBT, RK9000v2, magicforce 108 w/ Gateron Reds.
Well, if you really want an inexpensive full-size without a lot of nonsense features for a good price, I recommend the Rosewill RK-9000V2.
Having said that, most folks around here (myself included) would generally advice against a full-size keyboard. If you're 100% sold on it, like, don't let us tell you what to do, haha. But just from the voice of experience, full-size keyboards are ergonomically poor. Even just dropping down to a TKL size (meaning the numpad is cut off) gets your hands closer to center where they should be, and if you're a gamer, gives you a lot more room for your mouse. With a full-size, either your typing hands are centered and your mouse hand is far off to the right (causing strain), or your mouse hand is centered, and you're typing off to the left (also causing strain).
With a TKL size, you're sacrificing nothing because all the same numbers and keys are replicated elsewhere. Unless you're a 10-key whiz (I was), there's nothing to relearn. In my case, I went down to a 60% and taught myself to touch type numbers (which I never learned because I always used my numpad). Took a few days to get back up to full speed, but was worth it.
Well, the Ducky is the Zero you mentioned not being able to find.
How about this? Or this?
Rosewill, as well. I love my RK9000-V2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UBQZPXK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hello,
im looking for an affordable (below 100€ preferably) keyboard for work.
Things the KB should have/ not have:
Im ok with RGB, but it shouldn't be the focus of the keyboard ( not cheap out on something just for dat rgb)
ive looked at the cooler master quickfire XT but thats like 130€ in germany so kinda out of my budget
the ducky zero is also in that price range
the only thing thats in my price range and has most of the things id like it to have would be the Rosevwill RK-9000V2 BR but thats not available in Germany.
i could order it on amazon.com but id like to stay locally for shipping/ warranty reasons
do you guys have any other keyboards in mind that i might have overlooked?
You can pick up reliable rubber dome boards for less than that. Save the money and put it towards a keyboard you'll love.
Not the dream keyboard, but the one that you love to use until you can justify the dream keyboard.
Reliable rubber domes: One two
Save to buy one of these: One two
Tell yourself that one day you'll pick up one of these: cherry 6.0
Or maybe something else is the dream keyboard.

It’s a basic Rosewill (Newegg’s brand) mechanical with brown switches and a key cap set I got on wasdkeyboards.com.
I originally wanted to buy WASD’s version of this keyboard (plain 104 key mechanical with no LEDs or frills) but it was pricier, and I leave it at the office at all times so I decided to try the cheaper brand just got the key caps I wanted and swapped em out. I’ve been happy with it! Had it for 3 years or so with no issues.
I've used Rosewill and Velocifire mechanicals for work. They run in the $40-100 price range and feel pretty good. The one I'm using right now at work is the Velocifire VM01 it's $40. The browns they use aren't cherry so they feel a bit different(not as stiff) - but it feels good.
The Rosewill felt the best though if you don't mind a red switch it's $80 - browns etc run upwards of $100. I suggest browns for typing (if you speed type) and clears/reds for gaming or if you're a heavy typer.
I like the Velocifier because of the backlighting. And it's really good backlighting with a nice soft aqua green glow and multiple effects. Really makes people ask questions at work LOL.
MKB:
If you want a minimalistic setup with a smaller keyboard. I can vouch for this keyboard and its been amazing.

If you want a bigger keyboard:

There are also other options but I am most failiar with the CoolerMaster Brand and have experience with there keyboards. You can also get something like this if you do not want backlighting.

I am happy with this one

UPDATE: Most of the keyboard is working, except for the M key, which I tried to pry off in my last uninformed attempt to fix it. All of the latex is gone, I tested the keyboard on my PC, it works, but a few months ago I tried to pry off the M key, not knowing it was soldered on, and now is unresponsive. What do I do now? Everything is fine except for that one key, Should I sell it and save for another keyboard? This is the keyboard btw.
Cherry has a keyboard
As does Rosewill
Neither have backlighting, but both are ~$80.
Are you dead-set on mechanical? If not, I recommend the Logitech g105. I've switched to it from a mechanical because I like it a lot. It's pretty cheap, too. I've had it for a while now and not a single thing has gone wrong. Convenient macro-keys, windows key disable function, backlit keys (no rgb here, sorry).
If you want mechanical check out this. Rosewill isn't a much-talked about brand (as far as I've seen on here) and it won't disappoint. Definitely worth looking at.
