Hey guys my keyboard that i have right now is a membrane keyboard from about 7 years ago(i know lol) and just a couple hours ago i was gaming and when i was typing in game my right shift key and my eight key just stopped working. I knew this would come with time so if you guys have a good mechanical keyboard that is backlit and around a hundred dollars. I don't care about programmable keys. BTW My limit is 150 dollars because i want a new monitor to. Well thanks guys.

Does it matter if it's full layout, tenkeyless, etc.?

I would like it to be a full layout just because it is what im used to(but not having the numberpad is not a big deal) and i would like the keys to feel as tactile as possible because i suck at typing and it help to know if i pressed the key or not.

Then you would want blues, not reds. Reds are very smooth and quiet, making it hard to tell if you actually pressed a key, especially with the low actuation point it has. 

Both of these keyboards are great, and the Ducky comes in about every backlight color there is.
