hi, this is my main monitor -- https://www.amazon.com/Acer-K242HYL-bid-23-8-inch-Monitor/dp/B01LY3DB9J/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496544089&sr=8-1&keywords=Acer%20K242HYL%20bid%2023.8-inch%20IPS%20Full%20HD

I'm looking for either a better main monitor, or one that's similar to this for a 2nd monitor (so i can do things etc)

keyboard: im looking for a good cherry mx brown (pls no full keyboards) i have a 10keyless, but idc if 10 keyless or no arrows etc, just smaller than a full (no desk room)

price range for both ~ 100-150 each -- will donate 25fg per helped item and/or 50 for both

ty!

time of purchase is this friday (6/9)

this is the only keyboard i've found so far that I like: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129050&cm_re=cherry_MX_brown-_-23-129-050-_-Product

as far as monitors, i have no idea what im looking for

Well not a lot of wiggle room with that budget.

This will match your current monitor and has slightly better

If you play a lot of games, especially competitive ones I would highly recommend saving up a bit more for this

The keyboard you found is pretty darn solid.

Then this as your main monitor.

And the Keyboard you linked yourself.

If you can get the room for a keyboard with numbpad:
