Cheap prebuilt splits? 75% ideally
You could look at something like the kinesis freestyle2. It’s more than your $80 target though. It’s $100 without the tenting kit The switches aren’t “mechanical switches” but they have a good feel and decent tactile feedback.

Start with the Kinesis Freestyle2. Available for Mac, PC, wired or bluetooth. And less than $150
