Yeah, no. Overpriced glossy generic marketed gamer rubber dome crap.

Mechanical keyboard is the only way to go for a $100 budget.

It all depends on what you want - I.E different switches, ten-key less or not, back-lighting or not, wrist rest or not, etc. You can find a CM Storm Trigger on Amazon for around $100.

What you get for $90 is pretty amazing with this. Full-layout MX Brown boards with backlighting tend to cost much more. I'll also leave my full keyboard guide here.
