K70 sounds like what fits your need.

There's also 4 different options that you can pick from : Black with MX RED, Gunmetal with MX BLUE, Gunmetal with MX Brown, Silver with MX RED. 

 

I'm personally more of a fan of MX Reds because of their low pressure but it's all a personal preference.

 

Also, if you want to spend a bit more and get macro keys, there's the K95 which is also nice.

 

I'm also currently using a Corsair K90.

I'll second the K70's, they're popular for a good reason. Excellent build, great media keys, adjustable lighting, all that good stuff. Macro keys only come with it's bigger brother the K95, which is basically the same with an extra panel of keys but with a white backlight. That comes out just above your budget though so unless you really like the look of it, I'd stick to the 70's

The Ducky Zero Shine led is a good choice:http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/keyboard/#k=1&sort=a7&n=0&b=82,23

@Clifford @SirRoderick

Unfortunately I can't find anywhere in Australia with K70s in my price range :/

IIRC, Amazon.com ships to Australia. And you don't have to worry too much about import duties (according to a few Australians I know).

In terms of the switch type. Make sure you try a few different switch types out first, because you can't really choose a keyboard by reading about the switch online. Even Jb hifi have the razer models (blue and browns) you could try. You need to get a feel for the switch variations first.
