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!

    I’ve come to the hard truth that a good keyboard costs a minimum of $350 (or equivalent in invested time/work), and worse still… they are “consumables”, in that they don’t really last that long.

      350?! There is no way 😭, it’s like 1/4 of the avarage wage in my country. But anyway i saw some videos and there are a lot of people who actually reccomand keyboards between 50 and 100…

      I want to add that i don’t really need that much quality i can mod it in future if i need more things too

        350 is only for absolute top of the line stuff. There is some decent stuff that absolutely blows most laptop keyboards out of the park for 50-100
