I think I'm finally starting to understand you guys. The numbers tell me that y'all really like cheap $#!t, and your comments are giving me a slightly different version of the story.
One that I've also figured out, you want to see the cheap stuff - That's also the good stuff! So we went looking for the least expensive keyboard on the market, but one that is still fully- *clickety clack* mechanical, and, without any of that "MeCHaNicAL FEeL" marketing malarkey either. So here we go then, a roundup of the 9 cheapest true mechanical keyboards on Amazon. Enjoy! :) The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900's modular design supports a variety of different layouts and configurations. Click on the link in the video description to learn more. First up is our audience's favorite brand, apparently. Redragon products have been, "flying" off the shelves, like "fire". Since our last peripheral roundup, available here https://casinoslots.sg/genesis-casino. This is the Redragon K551 Vara. The product page says it is, Built like a tank, and actually we're inclined to agree. It's splash proof and the exposed steel backplate is sturdy, not to mention heavy AF. It's got double shot injection key caps with a Gamer-y, but very readable legend over top of what they describe as Cherry Green equivalent switches, but they both look and feel a lot more like blues if you ask me. With that in mind then the typing experience is pretty good, but the key caps are a little on the slippery side, and keystrokes produce a metallic twang, that like country music you'll either love or hate. The backlight has a generous 10 steps of brightness including off, But unfortunately only one effect, Breathing. Though an RGB version is available, and there's an unlit one as well in case you want to save $2. Aula's Demon King is a tenkeyless with, according to the box, its own branded Aula mechanical blue switches, but it turns out that they're actually just Gateron Blues, and the diagram on their website is a ripoff of Razer's marketing materials for their Razer Green Switches produced by Kailh. Anywho, the keyboard itself is nice and heavy, But with more deck flex than other keyboards in our roundup and typing is overall... OK. Due in large part to the laser engraved key caps whose width and raised corners are debatably fine, But whose key cap wobble is not. The dual-purpose keys have the symbols beside each other rather than stacked, so the backlit version that we're assuming exists can illuminate both, but on ours it's just kind of hard to read, or funny. My favorite keys are the "5%" key and the "1!" *lolz* On that subject, there's also an indicator light for Num Lock even though there's no number pad. It's a decent board overall, if you don't mind the annoyingly narrow enter key since it uses the European ISO layout rather than the North American ANSI. The next keyboard on our list isn't a mechanical keyboard at all. It's the Airfox K500 Irina Kaptelova, named after a Russian actress for some reason. We're actually including this one just to highlight how easy it is for people with little experience with mechanical keyboards to order the wrong thing. This one is in Amazon's mechanical keyboard category even though it uses scissor key switches. For what it's worth though, she feels a little cheap, but she types pretty nice if you're into low profile switches. If Apple made a mechanical keyboard aimed at gamers with a rainbow, LED Scheme at- Okay, It's not very Apple-y at all but, the tenkeyless Z77 from E-Element is actually pretty sweet anyway. It's Outemu Blue switches are a little louder than Cherry MX Blues, but otherwise they offer a very similar tactile experience, and they also have some extra brackets around the cross that are supposed to increase stability. But it should be added you won't be able to add your own sound dampening O-Rings. The build quality feels solid and even though the backlight colors can't be changed on this version, It comes pre-loaded with nine effects that are easy to control without the use of software.
