I got a k70


Posted

OK So I finaly got 200$, so i can get a nice mech keyboard. Here are my choises.

 

Tesoro Lobera supreme- $140 Pros- Cherry MX browns are quieter, full keyboard RGB backlighting, nice looking plastic case that wont stain like brushed aluminum, extra thumb buttons.

Cons- Not as tactile as blues, not individual rgb lighting, case not brushed aluminum.

Corsair k70- $130 Pros- cherry mx blues or browns, aluminum case, per key backlight, looks amazin

Cons- no RGB, bushed aluminum can stain maby, not avalible right now

Logitech g710+- $130 Pros- Cherry mx browns are quiet, and rubber o-rings to silence it more, 2 backlight zones, full backlight, 5 macros

Cons- not as good looking, not per key backlight, not as tactile

CM storm quickfire XT- 80$ Pros- VERY cheap, mx browns, full backlight, smaller size

Cons- not as much backlight custimisation

Other- must have blues or browns and full backlight

 

EDIT: one more good thing about xt-

I can buy myself there with the extra money http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-504631-HD-558-Headphones/dp/B004FEEY9A/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header

How can it be full backlight with only 2 zones?

I have the Corsair K70 with Browns and it is absolutely amazing. The build quality is exceptional and the aluminum hasn't stained on me yet and I have had it for 4 months. The RGB version should be coming out any time and it might be worth the wait.

I vote K70, because it's amazing. If you can wait for a keyboard you should get the Corsair RGB ones soon to be out.

I have a G710+ myself an it's great but really--just go get whatever you want the most. Try them out beforehand if possible.

Have you figured out your preferred key switch?
