Been looking around for a mechanical keyboard for a while, came across one for £60 but as I went to buy it someone else bought it (just my luck). All other kayboards ive came across are £70 and up, I was wondering if anyone knew any mechanical keyboards that are £60 and less in the uk, preferably with the uk layout (or american layout with large enter key), and preferably in mx browns, though blue are also ok, unsure about red though, if they're as light as everyone makes them out to be. Thanks for helping, ive looked everywhere I can think of and looked at all the manufacturers I can think of.
Edit: 10keyless and full size are both ok with me!
The CM Quickfire XT maybe worth looking at. Its comes in at around £70. Nothing fancy just a simple Cherry MX Brown or Blue keyboard that uses USB or PS/2.
Or a Blue ducky.
Check the product codes. If they have UK somewhere in the product code, they are usually the UK layout ones.
Seen those before, I'm looking for a keyboard £60 and below.
Doesn't look particularity nice although this is a cherry keyboard that is manufactured by them, One of them is a Red switch and the other is a blue. I am aware that you wanted/preferred browns but they do not sell theses keyboards with the UK layout in other switch types. Hope this helps

I think it is worth spending the extra £10 on the selection of Cooler Master keyboards. They will have a noticeable quality over many keyboards found for £60 and below. And a better choice of switch types.

Corsair for £65-ish, and it is MX red.
Thanks fudz, ill think about getting those!
found these however http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-vengeance-k90-factory-refurbished-mmo-rts-mechanical-backlit-gaming-keyboard-mx-red
if anyone can say, how much lighter are reds compared to rubber domes? I hit my keys pretty hard, so im worried about accidentally pressing keys 24/7
If you don't mind not having a numpad, this keyboard has some rave reviews.
