Hey all, my current mechanical keyboard's spacebar is broken (spacebar continually gets jammed) Already tried cleaning it off and it seems some part has broken off since the bar wobbles a lot.

Thought of getting a new keyboard with a budget of around 150-ish. I'm very used to blue switches and would prefer to continue using the same, or something similarly clicky. Need just a normal keyboard layout, no need for fancy macro keys or whatever. LEDs are a bonus too, but with a budget of only 150$ I doubt there are many models available.

With that budget i believe you can take a look at rosewill keyboard.

Not sure if Rosewill is still being brought in but there's that..

CMStorm Quickfire XT I forgot what the exact price is, shouldn't be too far off.. Rapid, if you're okay with TKL, would be comfortably within budget

TKL is great especially since I don't have much desktop space, but I'm a little apprehensive of the lack of numpad. Not that I use it often, but it feels weird. I will check it out though, thanks for the recommendation!

Just bought Tesoro Durandal Ultimate (brown switch) after my filco brown died after 3-4 years.

For $119, backlit & cherry switches it's a steal for me
