Good Cheap Gaming Keyboard on Amazon

I need one for under 40 dollars or MAYBE 60 dollars (if its free shipping 70 dollars or less), that will last me long as my current keyboards are so annoying and my keys always pick up dirt which i clean with my shirts.

It must be on amazon as its a giftcard and i cannot use credit card online.

Generally two kinds of keyboards out there. People usually prefer the noisier, mechanical ones for typing.

The re-assignable keys function is a gimmick? Not really. Other than that and dedicated macro keys, yeah, I suppose they are a bit gimmicky.[/quote]

so basically mechanical ones are for typing? and no i dont really mind.

[quote=cool123ter]doesnt know what macro keys are.. But i was interested in the razor acrosta. It looks like a easy to use good feeling not getting dirt on the keys keyboard.

@above thats like saying if you throw a 10 dollar keyboard and 100 dollar keyboard they both will be damaged the same. Theres a reason there are different prices for everything.[/quote]
If you don't know what macro keys are... Why are you asking for a gaming keyboard? Gaming does not necessarily equate quality. And dirt/other hygiene has nothing to do with the keyboard, as previously stated. It's you.

I don't really know a lot about gaming keyboards, i just use a keyboard that lights up red.
I just remember watching this video about a keyboard.

$56 on Amazon with free shipping.
If you go on amazon, and type in "gaming keyboard" and electronics section, page 5 has some $40 keyboards.

Not really, it could also be because of a certain brand name.

[quote=S14Enthusiast]You're not going to get any gaming keyboard at those prices UNLESS they were on sale. You better increase your budget or just deal with a standard one. Also, when you say gaming, do you intend to use macro keys? Because if you don't, then you're just wasting your money away.[/quote]

That's a question of how well you maintain the keyboard, rather than the keyboard's quality.

What are you talking about you can find great mechanical keyboards (which is essential what gaming keyboards are) for under 50.
In fact I was at Canada Computers and I found the razer blackwidow for 60 on sale which is around his price range.
