As someone who's looking to to get into the hobby, I'm curious to hear if there are any recommendations for budget friendly mechanical keyboards. I had/have a Corsair cherry red mechanical keyboard that I used probably around 10 years ago at this point when I was into gaming, but now I'd be looking for something a bit more refined, and possibly vintage as I quite enjoy using old tech. Any suggestions? I'm in Europe if that matters at all.

Out of interest, were keyboards that had "a key fail about once a year or so" all Corsairs?

I think it was Coolermaster actually. But the brand of keyboard isn’t super important because they all use the same brand of switches (Cherry MX). I’m now using different switches (Hako) but I don’t think the failure rate is really any different.
