K70 is the only option if you need a full-size wrist rest.

Corsair K65 isn't bad for cherry mx red. Other choices include CM Storm Quickfire TK or XT.

EDIT: Nevermind. 6 different models. Seems nice, but bit costly in EU. So much cheaper in US :/

And if I would remove one of options. Any options with wrist rests not full size. Or full size without rests?

You can always get a separate wrist rest so you can get the keyboard you want. Again I would recommend Quickfire Rapid/TK

I second @CoolBeans. The CM Storm keybords are incredibly good and relatively cheap as opposed to ducky that easily reaches 140 euros here.

No it isn't, my board has one and costs less (nearly half as much) than a K70.

QPAD MK-50, cheap, all Cherry MX, wrist rest, IMO best budget mech board.

Cherry MX? How do you know what color they are?

Mine are reds, they also sell the board with other colours too, I'd recommend the reds though.

 

You can get them in red, blue, black and brown.

79 euros isn't bad for a mechanical board with a rest and full cherry mx switches IMHO, I've been using my board for about a year with no issues.

Grats you're the only other person I've seen on here who has one!

Which switches have you got? I've got reds.

Aren't those 10 keyless ones? OP asked for full size.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

Qpad also has Kailh versions of their keyboards apparently, so beware of those. Same name, same price, it seems, at least here in Finland.

Reds too. Got this instead of the ducky because it was £50 cheaper and I am not disappointed, this performs awesomely, and the wrist wrest is actually soft. I do hate the 3.55 connectors hanging off the end though,

 Why reds? Don't you guys like that fell when you press key? :D

Reds are actually the fastest. When you start typing above the 100 wpm mark the bumps actually start slowing you down. With reds i can type 140 wpm consistently while with blues i can only type around 110-120. Also a lot of people find the clicks to be annoying (roommates, family members, co-workers, etc.). Browns are nice but again the bump can actually slow you down and becomes fairly fatiguing for light touch typists. Reason why i go reds.

It was the only one available on ebay, but I am not disappointed. It is silky smooth, feels like a well oiled vagina.
