Do you want a backlight? Do you care about fancy looks? Do you care about the ability to set macros?

If your answer was no to most of them, get a CM storm quickfire XT with blue switches.

pccasegear.com is a pretty good online place to shop. Getting it in store is also just fine if you have a computer store nearby, the quickfire xt should be a pretty common keyboard so it should be readily available

Yea i want it backlit and i kinda care about looks, as long as it looks sleek and isn't ugly and has a numb pad i'll be right with whatever you recommend.

Well, quickfire XT has no backlight, doesn't have any fancy looks or special functions and has a numpad. Quickfire ultimate is the backlit, upgraded version of the XT (or XT is a nerfed version of ultimate, either works)

tbh, it's a bit hard to recommend a keyboard as it's quite a personal choice. But, the most recommended brands are cooler master (XT, Ultimate), corsair (K70), and ducky (shine 3). Those three brands would give you the best option, 

So idk, check out those three brands, have a search online, and make up your own mind, I'm sure you'll be happier that way.

Sorry if that's rather vague, but that's my take on how one should shop for a keyboard.

 

Also: sorry for the late reply, I started watching some anime and couldn't stop :P

I have used PCCG and Umart recently both were good, Umart had cheaper shipping on multiple items and both are a good place to pick up parts in Aus.  See CM Quickfire Ultimate Blue Switch in link below $ 139
