Good Mechanical Keyboard

[Alex Branham]

I'm new to mechanical keyboard what is the difference between the switch types? and also what would be a good keyboard for around $100-$120? I want it to be able to glow different colors tho.

Corsair K70 RGB 

 

blue is loud and clicky (tactile bump)

browns are quiet(er) with a tactile bump.

reds are also quiet(er)--essentially browns, but no bump.

Blacks are heavy (higher actuation force) reds

Greens are heavy blues

Get a key switch tester first, so you know what kind of switch you really want. http://www.cmstore-usa.com/mechanical-key-switch-demo-board/

Brown is for typing and gaming, red is for gaming only, blue for typing only. Otoh canyon make utensils glow in different colors unless you get k70rgb which is 170$

Glow different colors? I think there is only that Corsair RGB one for cherry switches, unless that deal ended already. I personally have a Ducky Shine II DK9008 and I LOVE IT. Best keyboard I have ever used. If you can settle down on one color I highly recommend it, they have them in many different LED colors and switch flavors.

Would recommend:

 

Ducky Shine 3

Corsair K70

Gigabyte Aivia Osmium (I personally use this)

[Antistatic12]

If you are having a hard time try this from MaxKeyboards.

Corsair K70 RGB It would be out of your price range but it's a keyboard to consider because of it's customizable backlighting.

Corsair K70 because it's a great fully mechanical keyboard with a volume wheel which i like.

CM Storm Quickfire TK because it's good keyboard that is good for it's price.

I also had the blackwidow before. Bought the ducky 2012 dragon edition and loved it since. Quiet, and lots of mods online to keep it going.

If you want the best of the best, get a ducky premier.
