Ok there’s the non gamery this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TR05QAI

By far the best value for a mech under $100
Good construction and the cheapest genuine cherry blues available. Also the standard layout doesnt hurt, so you can easily replace the caps
I think it's a TKL board.
EDIT: I found it on Amazon for $49 but have seen it on eBay new for less.
got this thing for 50 bucks https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Impact-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00TR05QAI VERY good price for genuine cherry mx switches im loving it so far
> mx brown/black or equivalent, no rgb, < $100

Only cons that I'v noticed is that it is not fluid/dirt resistant like old style mech keyboards.
I just bought a Turtle Beach Impact 500 to replace the Redragon K553 that got me into this hobby to begin with, and I can't believe a keyboard with actual Cherry MX Blue switches is so cheap. Is there really any catch to this board, other than the cheap keycaps? All the stuff I can find on it seems to be positive, I just want to be sure I didn't just buy a $50 dud.

Hey guys. Just bought my second keyboard the other day, TurtleBeach's Impact 500 (link, still on sale apparently or maybe new permanent price?). I have a Das keyboard from many years back that was treating me great, but I decided to spring for some Cherry MX blues.
Anyways, I love it! With one exception: I really don't like how the keys look. I understand it's easy to remove and add in new keys...but I have no idea where to look. Thumbing through the wiki, I don't know if I'm supposed to be looking at keycaps or keys or...what.
TL;DR: just bought new Cherry MX keyboard, dislike keys. Want to replace, don't know where to look/how to look.
Any help would be appreciated.
Amazon has this board. I bought one and it works pretty well. It has actual Cherry MX Blue switches and at the price it's a steal.

Hey, how about this? Perfect size, and is the cheapest Cherry MX board I've ever seen.
This is a Turtle Beach Impact 500
Comes with Cherry MX Blue switches. I swapped the key caps out for some that I got on eBay.
If you’re really lucky you’ll find it at a local Marshall’s like I did!
https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Impact-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00TR05QAI I know its turtle beach but reviews say that its the same as other expensive ones just doesn't have their brand on it. I own it and like it
Wireless isn't really a thing with mechanical keyboards, at least from reputable brands. For some reference, this was the cheapest keyboard I could find on Amazon that was using genuine Cherry MX switches and this is the only wireless mechanical keyboard I am aware of, in the Cherry MX Blue switch that you wanted. Of course, as with everything, you can find sketchy products that promise everything from RGB, blue switches and wireless for the low price of 60.99$.
