Title: Are there any decent mechanical full for cheap?
Post by: Preach on Mon, 11 March 2013, 23:09:21

I was wondering if there is a cheap keyboard around the price of QFR that has 10key/keypad.

The reasoning behind it is that I play games like arma, dayz, etc. that require the use of some 10key/keypad buttons.
If anyone knows of any I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thank you

Your best bet is probably a Rosewill, there was a past sale where they went for $30 dollars and I'm sure someone would sell theirs for probably $50 and compromise.

I think they go for $90 or so on amazon or what not, but I don't buy those keyboards anymore. I just get mine from here :D

Cherry POS keyboards can be sometimes found for cheap (used). If you do your research, you can find some that are both NKRO and in a good switch variety (Browns, Clears or Blacks).

Ducky 1008XM can be as little as $50 or less delivered.

Coolermaster is coming out with their XT model when the QFR Stealths drop and Ducky is releasing a non-backlit fullsize as well. I think both of those were supposed to be around $70.

Ducky already has the DK2018 Zero out, non-backlit fullsize for around $80.
