Is there any good gaming keyboard at under $50?

Well everything you said but I am okay with any kind of volume setup. I am just trying to find the best one that will work for me that will not break bank. Still like that G-710+but trying to see if i can do better with the same price or less. One i been looking at is the Razer - Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth 2014 Elite Mechanical.

You don't get a quality mech without paying for it. Period, end of story.

Skip the Blackwidow, they use crap keys, as evidenced above. That "mush" is exactly what you're trying to get away from with a mechanical over a membrane.

Boards that fit your requirements:
- Ducky Shine 3 http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Shine_3_DK9008.html
- Ducky Shine 4 http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/ducky-shine-4/
- Ducky Zero http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/ZERO_DK2108S.html
- Logitech G710+ http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g710plus-mechanical-gaming-keyboard
- Max Keyboard Nighthawk X8 http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-nighthawk-x8-blue-backlit-mechanical-keyboard.html.html
- QPad MK-80 http://qpad.com/products/keyboards/mk-80/#gallery

Yea out of all the keybaords you listed the logictech is the only one I like most and have everything I want so I guess I will go after that one then.

All of them are MX Brown, backlit, full size, and have volume control. So they all have your requirements, that's why I listed them.

The G710+ is a STRONG contender. Just go buy it, you'll love it. And if you ever have issues then you have Logitech's support to help you (which is amazing).

Cool Thanks for the advice man, much appreciated!
 
NICE! First impressions??

I need to get use to it. lol the keys are so light, I was use to hammering the old keyboard. I trying to type lightly on it. It is by far much easier to type and play with it now. It still has a very nice typing sound and is not an annoying sound at all. :attn:

Yeah, it definitely takes some adjusting to your first mech.
You should see an increase in your typing speed for sure, and most likely a reduction in finger/hand stress when typing.
