PC Peripherals Good Keyboard under 2k

Go for red dragon they have pretty good keyboards with different varieties and they are pretty cheap too

Hope u like them and most keyboards under 2.5k are already good and provide long lasting key life

(BTW does anyone know how to increase privileges I want to buy something and also sell but I can't reply the owners or create threads or posts )
 
I tried all kinds of keyboard in 2k category, I am back to this for now, until I get a decent mechanical keyboard. It is silent and satisfying. The plastic quality is best in this class. The letters don't fade and it's cheap.

The cheap mechanical keyboards are not worth it for me, their ear piercing clunk sound feels satisfying at first but after a while it became unsatisfactory. Many of my mechanical keyboards went bad, most of the time the more used keys starts giving different feel and sound to the rest of less used once. Triggers my fake OCD.

Some keys start working intermittently, I had to physical solder and replace them with less used keys. Went through too much hassle.

Are the keys well stabilised? And do the key presses feel mushy?

They keys are mushy yes, so the feel is not the best, I am not sure what you mean by stabilized, but all the keys are consistent in behavior, whether the overall behavior is good or not I can't say that for anyone, but for me consistency mattered more than the over all feel, despite having mushy keys.

Do you think TVS Mechanical KBs are cheap? These were being used in PSU banks since the last 35 years and simply called Bank KBs sometimes.
I need a compact wireless keyboard and mouse combo so thought of TVS Platina Wireless Combo but this KB does not have any short cut keys or multimedia keys. So went with much silent mac looking Pebble 2 Combo.

I used that one for a very long time. The only good thing about it was that it never stopped working, even after years. But since it was cheap, the more commonly used keys started feeling and sounding different. They began pressing and depressing differently from the rest, a common issue with cheap mechanical keyboards.

The thing about mechanical keyboards in general is that they’re all fun and fancy when they’re new. But as time goes by, even slight differences between keys become more noticeable due to the nature of mechanical switches. There’s sound, there’s a strong click in the middle that you feel when the key is pressed, so much feedback that it amplifies all the inconsistencies as a side effect.

On the other hand, mushy keyboards, despite having inconsistencies, tend to blend them into the overall mushiness of the keys, so the user doesn’t notice as much at cost of reduced feedback.

I guess at this point my choices are

I have used portronics stuff in the past and it's been fine, the red switches are good too. I would've preferred a plain black colour scheme like the tvs but otherwise it looks good. Unfortunate that redragon isn't full sized, I'm used to the number pad. I'm not able to find anything about the switches in the tvs keyboard though

Liked ! Redragon and Gamdias are Good. Kreo is a very good relatively new brand to go for, but expensive
Tip - You may also think about KBs with replaceble keys AND switches, but they can cost around Rs. 2799. Very handy and i see that as one of the key benefits of getting a mechanical board in the first place over membrane.

The KBs you've picked are fine tbh, as they are goof enough for daily use for the most part. It's still better than spending a large sum on a KB and regretting it later.

As a consumer, I'd suggest you to go for either this HP or Ant Esports Keyboard's cheapest offerings, low-risk options in case it fails someday.
- This HP keyboard for Rs. 1499 Blue keys, full size, very reliable, friends and i use it, works fine - https://amzn.in/d/79i3xGI
- This being Ant Esports, the lifespan is debatable, as well as warranty. But at Rs. 1199, it should run well for at least a year. - https://amzn.in/d/6llbqdd
- https://amzn.in/d/iEAJVrq (Portronics, good brand, but new to making keyboards. Benefit is having red switches her, which are like feather soft keys.
- (refurb) https://amzn.in/d/92fyiJ1 Redragon K552W-RGB

You can also try some used KBs on gameloot

There's a Corsair and Asus KB that are pretty good for the price.

Final Thoughts - Ever seen those keyboards used in Banks ? Those are TVS keyboards. - https://amzn.in/d/9t5WJt9 It costs Rs. 3000, Full size, no rgb, no style, but it'll probably last upwards of 10 years.
