Logitech G413 or Corsair K68?

[Codey2k]

So, buying a new keyboard is proving to be quite difficult. I like the Logitech G413 and the Corsair K68 but I can't decide which one to buy. In my country, you can't test the keyboards because they are "too high quality and cannot be unsealed unless you buy them". While it does come down to personal preference, I need you guys to help me out since you guys know a lot more about keyboards than me. Which key is overall "better" for typing and mostly gaming? Does a wrist rest give you a significantly more comfortable experience? And is it worth spending the extra money on the Corsair K68? Thanks.

wrist rest enables you to, well rest your wrists which will be awesome and comfortable for long typing and long gaming sessions

for key switches, I can give you a reference to this video

While i haven't touch or typed on a mechanical keyboard, based on that video Romer-G shares similar characteristics to rubber dome. NOT smooth to bottom out

why not check this G513 instead the G413 (with separated wrist rest included) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/r6prxr/logitech-g513-carbon-wired-gaming-keyboard-920-008848

The G513 is a bit out of my budget range ($100). If you have the time, please let me know any other keyboard within this price range. I was also considering the Cougar Attack X3 gaming keyboard. Thanks for the video though!

The K70 is also I believe quite a bit more than $100. BTW the Corsair K68 includes a wrist rest and is also within my budget but it has Cherry MX Red switches. How are those?

no, the K70 is right at the $99.99 price tag

The MX Reds, they don't sound as loud as a MX Blue and I think that's the main difference

The Corsair K68 does have some notable features beyond the wrist rest, like that it is spill resistant with an IP32 rating, and has independent media keys which believe it or not are very very convenient.  If you've never used a mechanical keyboard before, chances are you will like the MX Red switches.

Thanks dude! I think I'll go with the Corsair K68.
