Cheap Good Mechanical Keyboards

[hotpanther]

Hi, can anyone recommend any cheap and good mechanical keyboards, ranging from below $100 and above $100. My budget is around 100ish but i do not know which brands or models are good and worth to buy. Lower price the better. Please help me out Thanks!

you can try Armageddon. Its by a local company, quite reasonably priced and quality is pretty much acceptable for the price.

nothing fancy but good for casual gaming

What type of switches does Armageddon mechanical keyboards used? I play moba more so qwer is more important than aswd

Before buying a >$50 keyboard, consider the following:

1) Do you really need an expensive keyboard? Reasons can include medical or competitive sports or simply massive amount of typing or nostalgia (for some of us).

Before buying a mechanical keyboard, consider the following:

2) Do you know what is an IBM Model M is?

3) Do you know what Cherry MX switches are?

If yes to at least one of the above, you are ready to step into a shop and test out different keyboards (and switches) physically.

If the answer is no to both, go deskthority wiki and read up on mechanical switches first.

I just want to know like is there any good mechanical keyboards within $100 budget (playing RTS/MOBA games) , i roughly understand the switches and stuff . Now, i am looking for ppl to recommend any low price kb thanks!

With local prices, keeping below $100 is nearly impossible for "good" mech kb. My definition of "good" refers my preferred typing feel, ie mech kb from Costar OEM (Filco MJ series, CM Storm Quickfire Rapid, Rosewill RK9000). There used to be the Rosewill RK9000 being sold in SG, but they are no longer brought in as of late 2013. For those who prefer cherry stabilizers, there is the Ducky Zero, but I do not know if it is available in SG.

Below $100.. I don't think have any.

look at the CM storm series ~$130 range

Yeah. The CM Storm Quickfire Rapid cost $80 USD at Newegg. Compared to local prices...

Doesn't Cybermind carry the Tesoro mechanical keyboards for $99? I've not tried them, but I suppose a mech keyboard is a mech keyboard.

I'm using a Ducky and I cannot imagine going back to a non-mech kb.
