Hello.

I am looking for the cheapest mechanical keyboard. RGB lighting preferred, but not needed. has to be with the 10 number pad as well. Thanks

I would highly recommend the Logitech G610, been using one a few months and it is excellent. Sale price is $89 for Cherry MX Red key switches and white LED back lighting that is controllable.

The least expensive mechanical keyboard that I would use would be one of the Monoprice ones. They use an off-brand switch to reduce price, but they work pretty well. They are only available in red and blue switch types (named after the Cherry MX ones), so most people would go with the red (light key presses and only moderately noisy) one for $50:

Keep in mind that most mechanical keyboards are noisy, so that can bother other people nearby. The Cherry MX Brown switches are my personal favorite (and are relatively quiet), but the Cherry MX Red Silent series make even less noise.

Good luck!
