Well for obvious reasons the Corsair. Has real Cherry switches.

 

Just for the record though, it's unlikely that if you like one of the switches from the Razer that you'll like the Reds. Reds are very light and are linear. The Razer switches are fairly heavy and clicky and have a tactile bump.

 

Anyways, if it were based solely on the manufacturer it would be the Corsair. There aren't a ton of RGB keyboards out there and IMO, the Corsair is the only good one.

You should get the Das Keyboard 4 with brown switches if you don't need LED's.

 

The RGB hype goes away real fast, just get a keyboard with a color that you like.

Corsair

the real cherry switches are better than the made-in-china fakes razer uses

the build quality is much better, with high quality aluminum and well engineered LEDs

the software is more complicated but allows for many more possibilities and lighting effects, not just 6 like the chroma

also linus compared them side by side and said colour transitions on the K70 RGB were smoother

Or a Ducky Shine 3 if he wants an option for many colors and a super high-quality keyboard.

Neither. The software is buggy and crash's, the novelty of the lighting wears off fast. NOT worth it.

Dont get razer. Kailh switch = nope

Corsair rbg software is a joke, it may or may not ware off on you.

When it crash's when you launch any game, or when you boot up, or lock your pc.

 

God forbid when you open chrome :L

 

You cant really use what you are paying extra for

IMO Corsair RGB= currently incomplete softwear and firmware that is still maturing

Razer Chroma= Incomplete but hidden issue solved with working softwear.


I own the Chroma and love it to a point the lighting profile change takes a bit and Synapse is a CPU resource hog it uses 15-20% utilization on its own. Switches are a bit on the heavy side. But the SDK being out right now pushed me to it even more.

If you don't mind that huge online manual from Corsair then that is the definite pick.

Then get a regular K70?!?!?!??!!?

 

Without the software then the RGB is useless.

there are work arounds, and still hope for the software. its way late if it came out tomorrow.  doesn't like steam, doesn't work on restart sometimes, freezes when i plug something in. i also vote for the k70 unless you must have lighting.

Not What I meant i just wanted the quality of the two the way their built

The K70 RGB and the normal K70 are built the same......

[Ian Schmid]

going to have to recomend K70 just becaues they use cherry mx switchs not wierd chinese ones

k70 wins. I still think you should try them both if you can before you buy.

I get what you mean. So how about between a normal K70 and a normal razer blackwidow?

(K70 built better btw)

 

If you dont care about the software then why the hell you getting a RGB keyboard??!?!?!

It costs more and you arnt going to use the RGB!!!

You arnt making much sense here.

I have K70 for everyday use and i love it. I think the RGB version will work as good as the old one

And i think K70 looks more premium for my taste. But it depends on u anyway

Uhh... Just get the K70 then..................................

I have the chroma and I love it, all the talk about switches is just preference, the ones Razer uses are modified blues.

Gotta disagree. The software is a PAIN to learn on but hasn't been buggy at all for me, the macro feature(which I've read you only get with rgb k70s or any k95) is awesome, and the lighting is still very appealing to me(It's an awesome decoration rooms at night.)
