Mechanical keyboards are increasingly popular due to their satisfying clickiness and customization options. However, they can be expensive, with mid-range and gaming options often costing a lot. The Keychron C3 Pro mechanical keyboard, which received an Editor’s Choice award last year, is currently available for just $29.88 on Amazon, making it a great budget pick.
The Keychron C3 Pro is a TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard with a standard layout and full arrow keys, making it easy for beginners to use. It comes with a choice of Red or Brown switches, as well as features like red LED lighting, a removable USB-C cable, and dual-stage feet for adjusting the typing angle. Additionally, it allows for layout and macros reprogramming using the online VIA tool or QMK, which is rare for a keyboard at this price point.

While the C3 Pro may not have all the advanced features of more expensive models, it provides a great starting point for those new to mechanical keyboards. Its affordable price also makes it an excellent option for anyone looking to replace their current keyboard or add an external board to their setup.
