I have one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-STRAFE-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00ZUPOMDQ

I really like it. It's a "cheap" solid traditional-style keyboard.

There is a lot of good mechanical keyboard for around 40 to 50€/$. They aren't from big brands, but they have what you need from a mechanical keyboard.

There's brands like Redragon etc.

I would say a Strafe or something similar. 100EU won't get you anything amazing, but it should get you something fairly solid.

A more radical option would be a Bloody B860. They're new to the market and have an advanced optical mechanical switch. It's unproven techologies, but the reviews have been stellar so far.

Any keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches is going to sound like that.

Although I need to warn you; MX blue comes with some heavy drawbacks.

The keys are really heavy, you need to hit them pretty hard to trigger them and that can get old very quickly. The clickey mechanism is horribly annoying on the WASD keys and I'd recommend replacing them with aftermarket MX stems without the click trigger.

They also wear out quite fast, eventually that clicker gets worn off and needs to be replaced. And while replacements are cheap, replacing all 104 MX Switches is one of the most tedious and unpleasant building jobs in all of PC gaming.

Thank you will consider that to not buy it.

Then take a look at the corsair k70.

I also own one with MX Brown switches.

That would be a wristrest or wrist guard. I've been struggling to find a mech keyboard with one a I like for ages.

I'm still using a Mad Cats V.5 membrane keyboard just because the wristrest is comfortable. They just seem to be so low when mech keys are higher. Can't offer suggests but I'm gonna lurk and see what others recommend.

Here's a few from amazon-de:

Lioncast LK20 TKL w/ brown switch[www.amazon.de]

Fnatic Gear Rush w/ brown switch[www.amazon.de]

Logitech G810 w/ Romer-G switch[www.amazon.de]

To me, Cherry MX Blue switches don't feel heavy, but I used an IBM Model M for over two decades. I also spend a LOT more time typing than gaming, so that plays into my keyboard preferences. You might be happier with MX Red, which is specifically designed for gamers.

Here's a guide to different Cherry mechanical switch actions:

Logitech K280e

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-K280E-Business-Mac-Keyboard/dp/B00EJ3RMRS/

They sometimes sell it for just $15, take an eye out for it.

I have a redragon k552. Not bad for a cheap cherry mx blue keyboard. Keep in mind blue is not as good aa red, but it doesnt matter THATA much because if it gets into muscle memory, it wont matter.

There are tons of cheaper Corsair K70 keyboard with the MX speed switch for $100-$110.

You are on a rather small budget for a mechanical keyboard, you can't ask too much.

Or he could get a k552. Thats probably the best mechanical keyboard at a budget. Its 30 dollars, has bright leds, breathing and static modes, small form, and windows lock. You can get a rgb one for around 40, and a mouse, mousepad, and k552 keyboard for around that price also.
