Best Mechanical Keyboard $100 budget

Hello,
I have been doing some research and have decided that for my next keyboard, I want either Cherry MX Brown or Cherry MX Red. I am looking for a good keyboard with these switches in it. I want to stay away from loud clicky switches like Cherry MX Blue. I'm looking for something with a small actuation force and short activation distance, and I want it to deactivate at the same place that it activated (another thing I hate about Blue).

I have a budget of about $100 and would like to get the best that I can for the money. Thanks

I love my black widow. It takes a bit of getting used to, but they don't take much force, and you can tap without letting the switch get all the way back up. That takes a bit more practice, but is still definitely doable.

The unfortunate bit about the keyboard is how loud it is. It is incredibly loud. I believe there are other versions (believe it's called stealth?) that have quieter switches in them, but behave slightly differently. For the amount that you're paying for it, it'll be hard to find a keyboard with better switches. Razer designed them specifically with the intent of gaming, and these switches get used throughout their black widow line up.
