Time for a new keyboard

post #1 of 5

Thread Starter 
So after 6 years of rapping my logitech keyboard in those all night long sessions of WoW wipping and raging it's finally dying. May he rest in peace but there is no time to mourne biggrin.gif

I was looking into mechanical keyboards as I do a lot of programming and gaming but most of them are too expensive for me. Is there any on the 50-60$ price range?

Rep for helpful answers!

You might want to check woot.... like once a month they have razer stuff on there, and generally they have the blackwidow standard for like 50 bucks +shipping.

$50 - $60 is probably too low to get a decent mech keyboard in Europe, I know in the US you can get something like the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid for around $60 but I'm not sure about the cost in Portugal.

Quite expensive :/ how about the Sidewinder X4, although it's not mech?

I'm not quite as familiar on non-mech keyboards, however many other people have suggested it in other threads so that could be a good choice.
