How to get started cheaply? (lemmy.world)

I'd really like to get a first mechanical keyboard, but they seem too expensive to just experiment with until I find what works for me. What's a good, cheap, middle-of-the-road starter keyboard for a noob?

I’d say just be patient and wait for a sale. I used a Best Buy gift card I was given to get a Logitech G710 that was also on sale for a grand total of like $45 bucks. Cherry mx blues even though I wanted browns, but I wasn’t complaining haha

Used it for years until I upgraded to a Ducky SF when I saw that was on sale.

I haven’t fallen into the money pit of custom key caps (the ducky is stylish enough for me, came with a few colored keys and a cool space bar), but I’’d love to built one from scratch one day
