I think I understand how great the K70 is after that car analogy . I might as well splurge, I use my computer for several hours a day, so I don't see why I should suffer.
I was dead set on getting a regular Corsair K70 with Browns, but then I considered my needs.
I don't really need backlighting
I do need a full keyboard (I'm one of those weirdos who uses the numpad)
The K70 is an expensive piece for what it does.
It is a nice looking keyboard and the wrist rest would be nice to have.
Now I'm thinking a Razer Blackwidow Stealth might be enough to get me a mechanical keyboard's benefits without the extensive cost. From what I gather, their switch is essentially an MX Brown made in China with a different actuation point. But obviously Razer build quality still sits at the front of my mind.
So really the question is (without brand favouritism), is the value increase in a K70 worth the extra $50 (in Australia)? What keyboards could you recommend as a middle ground? Thanks guys!
