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!

    Yeah i think i will buy a rubber dome or something similiar since they are cheaper and i am searching on second hand market too, i think Ebay should be a good place(?);

    Anyway yeah i could save up but the fact is that i either save for a keyboard or other pieces for my setup and for the keyboard i don’t feel like to spend as much as i would do for other upgrades (like a good SSD since cheaper ones usually fail too soon) so yeah can’t do much and probably i am going to buy a rubber dome

      For good second hand deals its hard to say what platforms are good, as that heavily depends on where you are. But yeah, eBay is probably a good place to start.

      Good idea spending more of your budget on parts IMO. Mechanical keyboards are nice, but it’s definitely not necessary.
