Cool!
I'm wondering what is it that you want to do with it in particular? Gaming or just general use? You might also want to google some Mechanical switch guides.
-
hm, switches, something between red, black or blue (more red or black) and ill use it more for gaming, and a lot of tiping, like write code
-
Take this all with a grain of salt since it will all be opinionated but generally linears(red & black) are good for gaming and tactiles(blues, greens, clears) are more preferred for typing. Browns are a mix of both with a very small tactile bump but generally speaking new cherry mx browns don't feel all that good due to the old molds they are using.

so red or black

Do you ever get fatigue setting in at any part of your hand or maybe wrist pain/stress? I think a lot of people start off with red and this might be the safe bet for you. I would be worried about using an MX black board for extended periods of time, which is what you might be doing since you also code. The actuation force required for these is around 60 grams, i think and this can lead to fatigue in the long run.
They do have their drawbacks and benefits, but that's why you should be looking up some of this information and asking us more detailed questions in regards to the different switch types.

so, i've made a decision, i want a full size/tkl, leds, and redswitches, without palmrest, do u need more information?

Glad to see you decided on some switches, I however don't deal with retail boards so I don't really feel comfortable recommending a board that I don't have much knowledge of.

i saw that razer have overpriced keyboards, and i dont really like their switches, btw the layout something like us or uk

Ducky Shine RGB 5 or Ducky ONE TKL, both boards have a standard bottom row, Ctrl, Win ,Alt, FN/Menu and Spacebar.

Is this a troll?
You said that you want a tkl below 100€. Both, QFR-i and K65 ARE below 100€ and tkl.
Fullsize below 100€ -> Cherry MX Board 3.0
-
no one have numpad
tkl is fine too
c'mon ...
-
sry i my bad man, but i want the numpad u understand? sorry for my bad, im kinda new at this and i thought that tkl already have the numpad sorry man, but besides that cherry mx 3.0 what do u advice?
EDIT: and if its possible, with leds

Sorry for the missunderstanding. TKL = no numpad
I think the keyboard you are looking for does not exist.
Mechs are expensive.
LEDs are expensive.
You probably have 2 options:
1. Save more money
2. Get a mech without Leds
Other cheap but high quality Mechs:
QPAD MK-50
Steelseries 6gv2

My first mechanical keyboard was a cherry mx brown Ducky. You should be able to find a shine Zero for around $100.00, blue or green blacklight. They are 104s so full numpad and all.

Ducky, the k65 don't have a standard bottom row (Ctrl, Win, Alt, FN/Menu and Spacebar row).

Have you considered looking into second hand options? There must be second hand websites in Portugal, maybe someone is selling one of those mechanical gaming keyboards? They often have LEDs.
