So I want a gaming keyboard for 100 bucks or less preferably mechanical and/or backlit
I think he cheapest mechanical keyboard that's backlit, is the Thermaltake poseidon z.

Thank you for your help I think I'll pick the Rosewill
I've had the Poseidon Z for a few months now and I've been pretty happy with it.
The Rosewill matches my setup more the green and black
