Either a Cloud II If you are going for a headset, or a Mechanical Keyboard(Ducky shiny 3 if you like MX Browns), OR buy a 256gb MX100 SSD.

And I would like to upgrade either my headset or my keyboard (mechanical keyboard). My current headset is getting quite uncomfortable after long periods of usage, and my keyboard is okay. My budget is $110 max. I would use the headset to play FPS games and sometimes listen to some instrumental music. My keyboard is passable, but I reaaaaaally want a mechanical keyboard (preferably cherry mx blue). I will be buying it from amazon.

I've heard that the Cloud II are not as good as the original Cloud

Sounds swag. I'd do this
