My name should really be cheapysauce

Hello Geekhack community!

My alias is soupysauce and I've been lurking the forums for quite some time. The topic title is just something to keep in mind. I'm a budget PC gamer. No current pictures of my setup but I've spent no more than $150 total for it and I'm constantly looking to find cheap deals. I've been typing on a Dell L100/Sk-8115/RT7D50 and I feel like it's time to step it up into a mechanical keyboard. Currently a student studying Computer Engineering, I type a lot and I feel like if anything needs an upgrade in my computer, it's this keyboard. I've been looking at Dell AT101w's on eBay as well as some IBM Model M keyboards but I'm not too sure what other old mechanical keyboards are out there floating around the $20 price tag, my kind of price tag. I've only tried a Cherry MX Red switch other than this keyboard and I have to say, it was a damn nice feel. My priority on the keyboard is typing but I'm sure any sort of mech keyboard will be a step up from my current one, right? Haha. All input is welcome. Thanks.

Any suggestions?

Can't wait to become part of this community. Cheers!

Nobody welcomed this guy in over 6 days?

wtf gh?

I apologize for the uncouth apes who are members here.  Welcome to GH. 
 
If you are on a budget, just call yourself economical or judicious, not cheap.  Cheap is kind of a bad word around here.  Since everybody already spends too much money on keyboards.

Anyway, since you are on a budget, here is my choice:  CM Storm Quickfire with MX Reds:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129006&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Keyboards-_-N82E16823129006&gclid=CL6L-ufYxLkCFY9QOgodc2AAEQ

Newegg.com has some kind of supersaver sale that ends today!  $69.99!

Haha no worries. I'm a very chill dude and don't take things personally, often 

And I appreciate the link! That was the keyboard I bought the day after I posted this and it sucks that I missed the sale, I'm all for saving money! I'll definitely use the word economical instead haha. I appreciate the welcoming. I can already tell I'm going to be spending more than I'd like on keycaps and collecting keyboards and yadda yadda. I already started bidding on a couple old keyboards like a model M and the AT101. Oh boy.
