full keyboard under 50 bucks? used to be able to grab an anne pro v1 for 60 bucks new. I would recommend getting one second hand off mechmarket. usually comes with gaterons, although now there are a bunch of switch options. the anne pro, or the magicforce. both solid choices around that price range

Eagletec KG010 is a decent 104 key for around $40,I used mine for over a year with no issues,ended up using it's switches in my BFO-9000,still trying to decide if I want to buy new switches to put in it.

Model M.

They do turn on sometimes in online auction sites.  I got my first two for AUD$32 or so (that's combined, not each).

With a bit of TLC most of them wil turn out great, and last you for years (if they have lasted 30 years so far, they will just keep on going).

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

i'd camp gumtree/ebay for a little bit and see if you can't snag an old majestouch or something. gumtree has an fc300r and a ducky zero around $50 at the moment that could be good options.
