I'm currently using this: http://www.amazon.com/Nixeus-MODA-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tactile/dp/B00L1TLINC
Keep in mind that its brown switches are an off brand, but I haven't minded (I have two other keyboards with Cherry MX Reds and Blacks and these browns feel alright).
It's also nice having extra mouse space with the tenkeyless.

Go find a Model M in the dump.
For real though, you could probably find them super cheap online from some old business upgrading.

I got my quickfire rapid for about $65. I'd be surprised if you could find a mechanical keyboard cheaper than that with cherry switches.

It's certainly prime time to purchase some things (like game consoles, no-name TVs, and crappy laptops), but not necessarily mechanical keyboards. If I were OP, I'd sign up for a deal alert for mechanical keyboards on Slickdeals, since I've seen multiple deals for $60 CM Storms within the past few weeks.

Probably the best deal you'll find if you buy it today.
Just sold out. :( I guess there's a chance it might become available again before the sale ends, but probably unlikely.

Saw the Monoprice mechanical on MassDrop a while ago, looked really nice.
Probably the only time I'll ever say this, but too bad you don't live in India. You can get a good quality mechanical keyboard with cherry blues for $25-35. Had mine 3 years now and it's still going strong.

If you want really REALLY nice switches... Good luck. If you want the mechanical feel, I can't recomend Magic Eagle enough. I'm not sure if they are 100% mechanical, but they feel freaking amazing. Very responsive and a joy to type on. In terms of gaming, since I switched from my old compaq hunk of shit to this bad boy my bobbing and weaving is much MUCH better (I main medic). I can't recomend it enough!

Twiggyis there ways to import them?:D
Not unless you know someone here, since the ebay/amazon retailers over here don't do international shipping. Not sure if MassDrop could pull something off.

I got my CM quickfire rapid on ebay for 20$. You will have to forgo being picky about switches though most likely unless you luck out lol.

Check if the Cherry G80-3000 is available in the US, it's the cheapest over here in Germany.
Comes with blues reds and clears afaik and looks like a model M.
