Rantopad MXX

The Rantopad MXX is lightweight and solid, and it comes in your choice of switch types. It doesn't have as many features as some boards, but it's a bargain at $45 with Gateron switches. The Cherry versions are less of a value at between $99.95-109.99 (at press time), but that price tag isn’t egregious, either.
