TeckNet M gaming switches
Yeah they are going to be shite...

OP: If you need to have a cheap KB, I'd probably grab this.

It uses Chroma switches from Razer, but they are much the same as MX Blue's.

Decent little KB for the price.

Since your K65 would have used Cherry MX switches, anything sub £60 is going to feel weird to you, IMO. Don't bother getting a mechanical keyboard, unless you can get Cherry MX switches or something else that's decent, like Romer-G's.

Rzaer Chroma switches are pretty much identical to type on to MX Blues and the keyboard I linked above uses them and is sub £50...

That Amazon paghe claims the keyboard uses "Blue mechanical switches". Razer BlackWidow Chroma comes with I think, Razer Green or Orange switches. I'd definitely personally take MX Blues instead, and I'd just wait an extra week or whatever until I could afford a Quickfire TK or something instead.
