Hi everybody! I type a lot since i am a programmer and a student but i also play videogames (like minecraft and various indies) and since my setup is pratically just a laptop and a mouse it sometimes is just not very comfortable so i want to buy for my first time a keyboard

I was looking for a keyboard that is not smaller than a 75% and the XDA profile is my preferred, for switches…well i don’t really know much but something not very noisy would be good

there are any mechanic keyboard under 25€? I am very low budget and i may even consider to buy from second hand markets and I can build it myself if that mean that i can save money;

thank you for using your time to answer!

    Buy a second-hand one and you can always purchase new keycaps for a fresh feeling, but 25€ will be a tight budget anyway

        If you prefer something quiet, keyboards with red silent switches are often available in pre-built options

          Thank you for the info, so from what i understood red switches are the most silent ones right? I tried to do some research to understand better what i want to buy
