There are tons, is there any other features you are looking for? What switch? Backlight? Colour? Media Keys? USB/Headset pass through? Wrist rest?

K70 if you don't need the macro keys of the K95 is a better alternative IMO. 

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

Just one tip for you:

Don't even CONSIDER the Razer Blackwidow 2014. I guess the 2013 edition wasn't that bad, since they were using actual Cherry MX Blues and MX Browns, but they're overpriced. The 2014 one is using Razer's own "optimized for gaming" switch, and costs as much.

Overpriced.

Gaming rig:

i5-4670k, H100i, MSI Z97 SLI, Vengeance DDR3-1600 2*4GB, 840 EVO 250GB, Barracuda 1TB, GTX 780 Ti, 450D, CX750, VG248QE

Workstation:

Xeon E3-1231 v3, NH-U14S, Asus Z97-PRO, Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 2*8GB, 840 EVO 250GB, 2*WD Red 2TB (RAID 0), GTX 780 Ti, Define R4, AX760, VS229H-P

Most of the big brands are decent just avoid the random no name stuff, if they have Cherry MX switches then that is a sign of quality
