My Cyborg v7 died yesterday and I need to replace it. I have a max budget of £70 and i'm not sure of what I should get. I play loads of games and all the other stuff pc gamers do, whatever that is. Two caught my eye, the Steelseries tgv2 and the CM storm quickfire pro, they any good?

Can vouch for coolermaster keyboards, great build quality. You can kill a home invader with one of them ;) 

 

Not that I've actually killed a home invader before, but I wouldn't hesitate with a mechanical keyboard in hand.

Not sure if ducky keyboards are within your price change, perhaps check those out. :)

Corsair Vengeance Series might be worth a look also.

I +1 to the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid. I am using it currently and it's amazing esp for the price. It's one of the cheapest mech kb that you can get so defo consider buying it. It is tkl however so I dunno how much of a difference that makes to you. I personally don't really feel any difference.

Bear in mind however that the 6GV2 or 7G is only available with MX Blacks while the QFR is available in reds,black, browns and blues which is what I have. This then gives you more choice on what switches you want.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

I don't think even a Ducky Zero can be had at that price, of course I could be mistaken as I'm not in Europe. Anyway, if the build quality of the QFR is anything like the QF TK (which I have, Blue switch though), then it'd be better than allright.

Blackwidow Tournament Edition, it costs $70 CAD here and is even better than the Blackwidow Ultimate that I purchased for $130 CAD.
