I am upgrading my keyboard and I have chose the corsair k70 with mx browns.  Are there any other keyboards better and cheaper or the same price(120=<) with mx browns?

 

Edit: To Clarify I am planning to maybe get the k70. I don't already own it.

If RGB isn't something you need then I'd go for a Ducky keyboard:) Comes in Red green blue white orange or purple with Cherry MX brown

CM Storm Quickfire TK (or TKL).

I believe there is a Browns version too

What do you mean by upgrade? What do you need that the K70 doesn't have? Macro keys?

 

If so the G710+ is a fantastic keyboard, but I'm gonna stand by my K70 until the end of my life.

That's not supposed to do that....

Do you need an arm rest? I personally don't use them, and I am not sure about the key caps.

I think the k70 is one of the best options for that price, if not the best option. There may be a few with very slightly better build quality, but nothing that will matter that much. The k70 looks great as well and has nice feature, so I would go with it.

Oh, i didn't notice either :). Linus has a review of it on his channel, you should check it out. Also it has programmable keys which is a bonus. I think its a great deal for 99 dollars and you can trust logitech as they have been making gaming peripherals for years.
