If on budget, just get TVS Gold. Still serving me after years of usage.

reportedly the newer TVS golds aren't as good as they used to be earlier.

There are good cheap mechanical keyboards, yes their quality wont match higher end brands but its a good starter keyboard.
I think this one is good.

If you are fine with TKL, get CB GK16 (red) or else CB GK11 for a full KB with brown switch.

If you type a lot, prefer brown switch or blue if you don't mind its loud sound. Both the KBs I suggested have full customizable RGB backlight, so customize it as you see fit. I hate those fixed rainbow backlight on cheap KBs.

Gulp! That's sad. So newer versions are costly but bad? :?

I think they switched from Cherry MX blue to some Chinese switch. Also white colour & no backlight have been a big no for me, but to each their own.

I have the Redragon K552 TKL, its great. Built is better than Cosmic Byte, Ant.. I got the Per key lighting edition for 3.4k.
