Title: Mechanical Keyboard Under 50 Dollars
Post by: ribasBRA on Tue, 11 February 2014, 10:28:22

Hi, i am from Brazil and i want a keyboard that i can take with me in my bag.
I am going to ship the keyboard here and if it passes 50 Dollars i have to pay a lot of taxes.
I already have  a Leopold that stays in my house and i dont want to take it with me.
What can i find in this price range??if i cant find a mechanical one, which membrane board you guys recommend??

Thanks.    :)

Maybe you can find a nice board for sale from a member here in the Classifieds, and not have to pay import taxes. Most private sellers are fine with marking the shipment as a "gift" with a low value on the customs form.

For a portable that you can take with you in a bag, may I recommend a 60% form factor? Such as the Poker, etc.
