How old is your brother and what will he be using it for?

 

  • The Steelseries keyboard you posted has Cherry MX Blue switches, I think they have a tactile bump AND they're clicky so I think this keyboard would be the loudest.
  • The Logitech keyboard I don't know much about but I know that Logitech GENERALLY has a decent life expectancy.
  • As for the Corsair keyboard, I'm a tad biased towards this one because I just purchased a different model (With MX Speed switches) and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I think the Cherry MX Red switches are nice for every day typing but I'm not too sure how they compare to other switches when it comes to gameplay as I've never used Red for video games (Maybe one day though).

Hmm. Since you aren't looking for RGB, may I suggest Logitech G610? Very well build, and feels excellent (cherry MX blue or browns)

I looked into the g610, but I cant seem to find it for less then $150, and very few stores seem to sell it over in Australia

He's 13, so he wouldn't be doing much other then gaming and maybe a bit of homework here and there

Kogan have some half decent mech keyboard with a few different switch options. I used one for a couple of years and it held up great.
I got it with blue switches, and the only reason I switched is because I hate blue switches.

AU$ 39. Can't go too wrong. Same chassis as the one that I have used the last few years just with different switches.
