Any cheaper alternatives for cherry mx green?

I sold my cherry MX blue keyboard and I been looking for keyboards with cherry mx green, but they are so hard to find and expensive. I looked if there are kailh switches like the cherry mx greens or heavier but I couldn't find.

Backlit isn't necessary. I was hoping for a keyboard around the $70 or less with heavy tactile feedback. I don't care about brands. Any suggestions are welcome.

The cheapest I could find was the CM Quickfire Stealth for ~$110. Greens are generally much more expensive than blacks/reds/blues/browns

I have seen this one.. This is why I've been looking for cheaper chinese switches..

buckling spring maybe?

I've never had the chance to try them. They are so rare (probably very expensive)...

not all that rare or expensive, though i understand not wanting to spend money on something you've never tried

Interesting.. Most of them are used.. But I can settle for a refurbished one. Too bad there's no superkey..

If I manage to get my hands on one before I buy it I will think of it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

The Cherry keyboards made by Cherry itself are sold now for about 50-60 EUR incl. VAT. They are available in all layouts with all types of switches.

Those are pretty plain black or white keyboards made for enterprise use, a bit like the Quickfire range I guess, but without the flashy logo and backlighting.
