Mechanical keyboards have many advantages over their membrane “counterparts” for people of any occupation and
1. HP GK 100
As one of the world's oldest brandscomputer equipment, Hewlett-Packard produces almost everything related to computer peripherals and, of course, they did not ignore mechanical keyboards. HP GK 100 is, in fact, an archetypal full-size mechanical keyboard that has everything you need for a low price: choice between Black, Brown, Blue and Red switches (no-name analogs of Cherry MX, which cannot be identified, visually resemble Outemu), controllable backlight , simple form factor. What sets the GK 100 apart from similar ones is the material used for the top panel, in this case it is metal instead of the usual plastic. HP GK 100 is at the lower price range of mechanical keyboards

2. ASUS ROG Strix Flare
From an entry-level keyboard to the top.In addition to the original color scheme and brush support, the pink ASUS ROG Strix Flare will also delight the buyer with the quality of its components: the keyboard runs on original German Cherry MX switches, which have become a kind of standard. Cherry MX Blue, Brown and Red options are available; black ones apparently were not delivered, which is quite strange, given the obvious focus on gamers; ROG Strix Flare even offers the ability to add your own or team logo to a special illuminated area on the keyboard. The keyboard also has specialized keys for controlling media and sound volume, built-in memory and ample opportunities for creating macros, as well as the Aura Sync backlighting system.
It is worth all this pleasure is not cheap.

3. Redragon K585 DITI
Not quite a full-fledged keyboard, but ratherA gaming gadget reminiscent of the classic Razer Nostromo and Orbweaver, the Redragon K585 DITI is a 42-key left-handed keyboard on Outemu switches. The two hefty programmable keys on the right are designed for the thumb and will likely take on the same role for gamers as the spacebar on regular keyboards. There is a brush support with magnetic mounts. It seems a little strange to choose Blue switches for a gaming device, rather than Black or Red switches specially made for gamers (Outemu makes both options), but the popularity of the Redragon K585 suggests that this choice seems to have justified itself.

4. Ajazz AK33
After Ajazz released the first versionAK33 and immediately slapped a price tag of $50 on it, the company, it seems, quickly realized that it would be difficult to withstand competition, and immediately riveted cheaper modifications: Ajazz AK33 can be purchased in several versions, and the price for some is almost half the price of the full version. Don't need multi-colored RGB lighting? Please, here's the usual one. Don't even need a regular one? Here is a version without backlighting at all. Want new and improved keycaps? Easy, for an additional fee! Ajazz say that their keyboard is designed specifically for gamers, and the ability to choose black switches confirms this, but the overall design suggests that the keyboard is more suitable for lovers of minimalism: the creators managed to make maximum use of the keyboard surface, as a result of which the AK33 looks very compact. The cost of this keyboard varies depending on the version, the most basic AK33 “without anything” will cost you $25, while the full version with backlighting and upgraded keycaps will cost you $41.

5. Motospeed K87S
In the market of budget mechanical keyboardsthe Chinese company Motospeed has firmly established itself since 2008, and is still in the top in terms of sales. Today’s representative in our top is K87S, a “shortened” version of the classic K87. This keyboard is made of aluminum alloy and is equipped with Outemu switches, not Cherry MX, of course, but also not quite a no-name. Transparent characters on the keys are very convenient - with the backlight on (it has very broad customization options with the K87S) it’s very convenient to work and play in any light. Also, anti-hosting works on all keys, that is, when several keys are pressed simultaneously, they will all be registered by the system without creating problems: a function that is quite common in modern keyboards, but often affecting a limited number of keys.

6. Razer Blackwidow
One of the rare popular gaming brands,presented on AliExpress, but, unfortunately, without a company store, Razer are famous for making their own switches for keys. And the guys so much wanted to be associated with Cherry MX as little as possible, that they even moved away from the traditional Red and Blue names, instead they feature Razer Green, Orange and Yellow; at the moment, only Orange remained in the store, which can be compared with Cherry MX Red - “quiet” keys tailored specifically for gamers without a characteristic blunt click. Instant Trigger technology promises Razer Blackwidow users minimal play between keystrokes and reactions, and Razer Synapse software makes it easy to reassign keys and create macros.
Of course, Razer is primarily a brand, so the price of Blackwidow is rather high.

7. Metoo Zero
Greetings to the sales leader of this list: in the indicated Metoo Zero store alone, more than 10,000 copies have already been sold in all three versions, X51, X80 and X52. Just like with the Ajazz keyboard, you can choose a model without backlighting, with monochrome or mixed backlighting; in addition, you can choose Metoo Zero in the option of 104 or 87 keys, depending on whether you need a numpad. It should be noted, however, that in a model without backlighting, anti-hosting is very limited, and, for example, the Ctrl-Shift combination will not work with all keys. The more expensive model supports full anti-hosting and these restrictions do not apply to it. The most obvious plus of Metoo Zero is the price: depending on the model you choose, it will range from $ 20 to $ 29, which makes this keyboard one of the most attractive options for gamers on a budget.
