Best Mechanical Keyboard for £50

Thanks. Yes, I have watched a few YouTube videos now

Any recommendations for good budget mech keyboards ?

"Any TKL or 70/75% (with Fn keys) keyboards people would recommend that would fit the bill ?
Ones that seem Ok are Keychron K2, Drevo Calibur v2, Hexgears GK707, HyperX FPS Pro, Red Dragon K552 etc ?"

I bought a "DREVO Calibur 72 Key Gaming Mechanical Keyboard RGB LED" about 3 years ago now. I'm still really happy with it. Costs about £50 / £55

I guess the V2 is better? It's a TKL form. I'd happily buy it again, and build quality is still good

Thanks. The more I research mech keyboards, the more confused I become and the larger my man math calculated budget becomes !

I now think that a wireless keyboard with hot swappable switches would be better. The Keychron range seems good as does the Deriya

The Calibur V2 Pro looks great but I don't think any of the Drevo keyboards are hot swappable

I don't know if it's even available but literally 10mins ago I went into a highstreet gaming store and bought a Hyper X Alloy Origins Linear Red for £64.99.... I don't know if this is just some crazy lucky clearance of if that's available for that price elsewhere, when I looked online it's around £110.

The quality is way higher than I thought there weight is insane it's solid metal and feels very good.
