In my opinion, the best mechanical with incredible value and build quality for the price has to be Keychron. It's even loved by those crazy Canadians that love to drop stuff onto the floor on their YouTube channel.

Choice of lighting (white or RGB), the software you run to setup macros and stuff is surprisingly good and used by a lot of these independent brands it's called Via. Good choice of Gateron and Gateron Pro switches with varying tactility, hot swap capability or not, excellent build quality, great customer service. 


I'm genuinely in love with my Keychrons. Not quite "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye love, but fairly close.

I like Redragon.

They are decent quality for the price point, have decent features, and in my experience last a while.

They are decent mid tier kit that do the job well and last a while. I've got three mechanical keyboards from them, and they all work. One I replaced with a wireless variant, and is my backup. The other is being used for a media machine in the living room.

I'm using a K618 currently, which is a full wireless BT/Wifi mechanical for less than $100.

I'm currently rocking a Logitech G600 mouse, but have nothing bad to say about their MMO mice. I've got a M908 and an M913 that are both still in full working order. The G600 just had a couple of more inputs.
