I need a mechanical keyboard for gaming and general use. I cant decide between a Ducky Shine, Razer Blackwidow Chroma, and Corsair K70 RGB. Please let me know which one and if you have used any of these

 

Thanks

Using tt poseidon (cherry mx brown).

Also like ducky shine. Just don't get those forks of cherry mx and it will be fine.

If u never used mech kb, it's better to start with mx brown - u will understand what switches do u really need after using them (clicky or linear).

I've been using the Blackwidow Ultimate orange switches and I love em. I would totally get the Chroma over the Corsair RGB because the lighting looks infinitely better on the Blackwidow.

The razer has kailh switches instead of Cherry mx switches. I'd go with real Cherry mx switches, the kailhs are pretty new and they haven't really proven themself.

I've got the BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 with Cherry MX Blue's, and I love the living hell out of it. I'm not a huge fan of Synapse 2.0 personally because I don't use it and it just sits there using my resources, but this is easily fixed by me not using it.

FX-8350 | GA-990FXA-UD3 | G.SKILL 2x8GB 1600MHz | 1TB WD RE4 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI R9 290x Lightning | Corsair AX860i | Silverstone FT05B-W

Pentium G3258 | MSI Z97 PC Mate | G.SKILL 4x4GB 1066MHz | 500GB Samsung 2.5" | Stock cooler | Pending GPU | EVGA 500B | Antec DF-35

GoPro Hero 3 Silver | Netgear R7000 Nighthawk with DD-WRT | HP Officejet Pro 8610 | Canon iP110 | AudioTechnica ATR2500 USB

Downdraft cooler for mITX board (new build) | Desk mount mic stand | Pop filter | Anti-vibration mount for microphone | mITX case | 3rd monitor (matching existing 23.1" | Intel Core i7-4790K (for mITX build)

USA. Newegg and Amazon are out, and the US NCIX site is down by the looks of it.

Of those 3 the best will be the Ducky for quality. Which switch do you want?
