Corsair K70, Logitech G910 or Razer Blackwidow Chroma?

Hello everybody, i'm thinking about buying the BEST gaming keyboard possible, and the keyboard (to me) must have:

- Mechanical Keys (preference for both gaming and typing);
- RGB Lighting.

And i find myself with these 3 keyboards:

Corsair - K70 RGB
Logitech - Orion Spark G910
Razer - Blackwidow Chroma

I really dont know which one to choose D:, the price of them doesn't matter, because here in Brazil the price will be a lot different (will be because these keyboards are not here yet ): ), down below i will put a note that i have made in onder to see which one is the best:


Legends:

> = Nice Features;
+ = Very good features;
- = Not nice "features.


>>> Corsair - K70 RGB <<<

> Aluminum;
> Removable Wrist Rest;
> Multimedia buttons;
> Coated cable.

+ Invulnerable to sweat;
+ ESD Shielding.

- Weak lights.



>>> Logitech - Orion Spark G910 <<<

> ARX;
> 9 Macros;
> Multimedia buttons;
> 2 Options of Wrist Rest.

+ ARX.

- Only the buttons have ilumination, doesn't have any light between the buttons.



>>> Razer - Blackwidow Chroma <<<

> Coated Cable;
> 5 Macros.

+ Very bright LEDS;
+ I already have Razer products (So i dont need to download more software and will combine with my Barracuda and Naga Hex).

- Vulnerable to sweat.



And in question of design, TO ME, it's:

G910 >>> Blackwidow >>> K70

And the Keys, TO ME², it's:

G910 Fake Browns >>> K70 Red >>> Blackwidow Fake Red/Brown?



So, what do you guys think, which one do you prefer? And there's any good Mechanical RGB beside those ones? There's any feature that i missed? Anyway, give me your opinion, THX! :D

If it were down to me. I would pick up the Corsair keyboard over the others. It's aluminium back plane is so much stronger than the back plane of the other two. Plus, it still uses Cherry MX switches and they are the only switches that I trust. 

Though, the Logitech does look rather interesting and I am a huge fan of Logitech mice and their other products. 

And Razer, well, I hate Razer. :P

What do they know of England, who only England know?

"Well that's what I always said I wanted to be remembered for, for being honest. Nothing else is worth a damn"

If someone came up to me and said "Hey, you can have one of these keyboards". Then I would probably go with the Corsair K70, with MX Brown's.

 

Why? Probably because I find both the Blackwidow and the G910 too tacky-looking. I haven't actually tried the switches that the G910 and the Blackwidow uses, so I can't really comment on that. But I do like my MX Brown's.

 

Feature wise, they are all similar. Apart from that the K70 doesn't come with macro keys (which I don't use myself).

 

And with that being said, next year I am sure that we will see a bunch of RGB keyboards. Ducky even have their Shine 4 and Mini that both comes with Red/Blue LED lightning. Which to me looks like a stepping stone for them to make proper RGB keyboards in the future.

I'm not sure how the lights are a downside to the K70 considering that you can make rainbow colours plus a billion other combinations. Also it might not have macro keys but there's a certain something that makes it better than just having macro keys, every key is a macro key!

 

*hugs K70*

 

I love my keyboard. :D

I dont really think that the lights are a downside, but it's only thing inferior to the competitor (Blackwidow) in my opinion, Blackwidow's LEDS are brighter, problably because of the white plastic thing behind the keys.

And it would be better to have keys made for macro. Of course, the K95 have the Macro keys, but here in Brazil it will be freaking impossible to find it, the K70 (w/o RGB) is hard to find, and the K95 even harder for some reason D:

I have my left windows key set to hold-toggle, so when I press that key down every key on my keyboard changes to something completely different after I set the desired macro for that key. It means that during gameplay or even other application work I can simply hold that key plus press another key to instantiate a macro instantly without having to take my hand off the keyboard. I would've gone for the K95 but with this feature I've found that this macro setup has fully negated the need of any separate macro keys for good.

 

I wouldn't get a K70 or a K95 without RGB anyway, I used to own the Vengeance K95 and I had to RMA it several times due to dead LEDs, it's the reason Corsair got first dibs on the new Cherry switches with ESD shielding.

I've never used Macro keys, it's not really necessary to me, but it's a nice addition. The "every key is a Macro key" is a nice feature too, i can set keys that i never use (like Alt GR) to do something, YEAH!

And another feature that i'll add to the K70 it's the ESD shielding, i don't really know if it really improves the LEDs life time, but lots of people are saying that it really improves, so... I'll trust.

Ok so could you tell me how to do this on my k70 rgb, i cant figure out how to have the windows key as toggle so i can use that for macros

Corsair keyboard is the only one that has real MX Cherry switches. The others are Kail.
