I am going to buy my first ever mechanical keyboard but don't want to waste my money on something cheap I might replace only a few years in the future. I decided to go with a TKL keyboard, NOT 60%. I want extra arrow keys.
Is it better to buy a cheap (50€) Keyboard (thinking about either Redragon K552 or CiY X77) and mod it (might use Akko Switches -> 25€) for around 75€, lubing stuff not included. I want to avoid lubing as long as possible, haha.
Or is it better to buy a 'finished' Keyboard within the price range of 75€ instead, without modding it for the next time since I am on a budget?
What would be the better choice qualitiy wise?
I am very new to all of this. For example I fear that single Keys will stop working on a cheap and therefore faulty keyboard. How high are the risks of this? Is it more likely to have a broken Switch or a broken keyboard? Is it therefore the better choice to buy a more expensive 'foundation' to mod, later in the future?
Btw. I'd be glad for your input on what Keyboard to choose if I decide to do a modded one now. Other keyboards than the ones I mentioned are welcome, too. The overall price goal is 75€. I need QWERTZ layout if this information is important.
Thank you!
