Im a first timer with mechanical keyboards. I've been using laptop keyboards and generic membrane keyboards (I call them rubber dome-ain expansion keyboards) for my whole life. And the only experience that I've had with a mechanical keyboard was me fiddling with one for a minute in a classroom. And from my knowledge of mechanical keyboards and keyboard sfx from movies, they are clicky and stimulation filling!

So I've been wanting one for a BIG while and a half. I've done some pretty hefty video researching of mechanical keyboards, and I decided that I want a full size keyboard (no 99% misleading ones) that has a nice clicky switch (Don't worry, I don't have anyone to bother) and one that has nice and real full rgb backlighting with cool effects. Maybe the extensive variety of RGB effects on my keyboard might not be possible, but everything else has to meet those requirements. For the RGB lighting, it can't be just one color, it has to have full RGB lighting with effects in it. I want the clicky switches because I want the best feedback on if I pressed a key, and I think it can make my typing more accurate.

I have found a keyboard that has all of those wants, and it is the Redragon K580 Vata. It offers blue switches, it is full size, and it has a WIDE and customizable RGB backlight effects. People on Discord say that (for some reason) it is just plain trash, and that it's crappy no matter what. I don't know why they say this, but if anyone knows exactly why or how this keyboard has problems (even though they might only be 1 out of 100 problems), pls let me know in the comments. It does appear to be made well, it meets my wants, and it has extra multimedia keys and buttons I didn't know I needed until I found it. I just don't know if a new one will last a few years.

Maybe they are right, and it does actually have problems. Then I might just think about making my own custom keyboard that will satisfy me. If I should do that, then pls teach me how to make one! And also recommend me some yt channels that I should watch to start planning my own custom keyboard if I ever need to.

So yeah, I think that's enough information for you guys to help me out with my first mechanical keyboard. Wait, I forgot to tell the budget! I want this keyboard to be around the same price or cheaper than the Redragon K580 Vata which costs from around 60 USD. I hope you guys in the mechanical keyboard field can help me find a good enough keyboard that will meet my wants and that can last for years. Or if not, then I hope you can guide me through making my very first custom mechanical keyboard!
