Corsair K50 or Stealseries Apex?

[masterchunk]

I am wondering which one I should buy. They both seem like realy good keyboards but one has to be better right?

 

-Recommend any other $100 or less

$100 or less ? Get a mechanical with that money.

sure you want tactile (or whatever their called) you can also get mechanical ones on that budget

I have the steel series apex, it's a freaking great keyboard... The space bar is so satisfactory! It's solid and neat, would definitely look into it!

I know JayzTwoCents has a promo code for 10% off the quickfire series of keyboards, or for that matter, anything in their store.

 

I'm not giving them my email to see the price, so you could check that yourself: http://www.cmstore-usa.com/quickfire-series/

The Apex is a very nice keyboard in terms of build quality, I recently bought one myself.  However I would still recommend a mechanical keyboard such as the Corsair, Ducky or Steelseries 6gv2.

 

The Apex is quite comfortable to type on but it has a lot of useless crap on it like all the macro keys which only serve to get in the way I feel, there is aesthetic lighting on the side of the keyboard, lighting zones (kinda cool if you REALLY care about it, but I stick with default), and also the software takes up about 120MB memory when idle - so big points loss there for me.  The upside of this is that you can update the firmware on the keyboard when necessary.

 

I don't know what Ss were thinking after the success of the 6gv2 - I'd rather have seen them develop that product line the way Corsair have been.  Respect for risking something new, but back to the drawing board please.
