Wow, the peripherals section can't get enough of me...or I can't get enough of it. I recently asked you all what color keyboard I should get and I thought blue would be the best color. People are always talking about how great their K70 is, and I was wondering if it is better than the CM Storm Quickfire TK. I want a keyboard that is blue backlit, has a black finish, and has cherry MX blue switches. I can't seem to find this in a K70, or at least I can't find a black K70 without a red backlight. Is there anyway I can find this in a K70 or should I just get the CM Storm?

You can't get a black K70 with a blue backlight.

Go for the Quickfire TK. I haven't used it but it sounds like a great keyboard :)

 

Edit:

You could also get a Ducky

I got my Quickfire TK because it was plain looking, blue back lit, and cherry mx blues. It was between it, the Razer Blackwidow, and a Ducky.

 

I wish I got a Ducky now despite the price difference since the Quickfire TK's compact num-pad solution thing is actually very annoying, even after 2 years of using this keyboard. I initially thought that I would rarely use the numpad arrow keys and ins/del/home/etc keys but when you do have to use them, you have to frequently hit numlock to switch between the keys. Far bigger problem than I expected.
