Just don't buy Wooting, Razer, Logitech, MonsGeek etc. 'namebrand' HE keyboards and they'll be affordable. MadLions, Aula Hero84 HE, DrunkDeer
You may wait a little to buy during Black Friday, keychron K8 HE or K2HE can be a good choice, they are selling at around 130-140 now probably get to around 100 during on sale. Software of keychron is good which is important for a HE keyboard, the main drawback is its 1k pulling rate instead of 8k of some other brands but I can’t feel a difference. I have tried Aula Hero 84HE (around $70) but it got plenty room of improvement in terms of software and typing feel. If you don’t need HE, there are many budget options
save some money and get the cheapest Hall effect keyboard or something else for coding and gaming not these shit keyboards i have used the redragon one i got it for 1700-1800 long time ago i had to replace it twice and after warranty it stopped working like i had many switch issue i used to switch it when my wasd shift ctrl gets bad with other keys but then suddenly pcb got bad just get a good keyboard
60% dont have arrows and 65% have arrows. That's the only diff get anything at this budget, all are similer i dont know many under 3k, check out Kero Aula and other brands on websites other than amazon like genesis pc, loadout, meckeys etc
why dont just get any 75% keyboard if budget is the issue or else save up for more expensive ones, 4-7k ones? I am using aula hero he84
Im Using the AULA HERO . Everything u want and u have the "Software" online. In also includes a Kalibration Mode for every single Key. Yeah its a "Budget" Keyboard but u dont pay for the Name Just for the function. U can put ure Rapid Trigger down to 0.01mm :D This ist a Test Video. https://youtu.be/vu-vd94M67E?is=SzCLtqLOhQ9QdPjw
Bought the Aula Hero 84He, it's really good. Couldn't find much reviews on it online and I'm not much of a keyboard person but I'd say it 10/10. We based driver too, the translations are iffy, but funny and charming lol. Got it for PHP2500, 43 in USD. I'll see if i have time to write something up with more detail later. https://preview.redd.it/488vf4emv5gf1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a542e726ebff41086e07928f5cdd56bae2229f5 Edit: web\* based driver
Chinese keyboards are deemed budget, but in reality they are just value. For 55-60$ after tax you are able to buy a really nice keyboard off of Aliexpress, like aula f75/s75/hero 84he. If you see comparable western keyboards, they all start at 100-120$. Add tax (25-30%), add shipping (30$) and you are looking at 200$ keyboard which is basically the same, but with "better" drivers. There is scarcely any value in that. Something fancy is 200, 250, 300$ + tax, but hey, they will spare you the shipping ! It is an expensive hobby and small differences in quality cost a lot. Sometimes it's liie audio-voodoo selling audiophile cables.
If you are looking for a cheap HE option with a condensed F-Row, consider Aula Hero 84. The software is a bit clunky, but it does the job. Don't even think about getting the Wooting, it is overpriced as heck. Nuphy Air 75 HE also seems like a decent option. I own Field75, and I absolutely love it. The build quality is good, and the NuphyIO is pretty convenient. Overall, I think that any keyboard with a condensed F-row will do.
Hero 84 HE. Also still in review for the channel.
