i wana get the g710+ but i heard a lot of complaints that its a hit or miss buy that a lot of these keyboards have LED issues where the LEDs die super fast. I dont wana mess w RMA and stuff.

 

Should I get G710+?

 

My other choice is a K70 w reds(non RGB) and CM Storm Trigger, basically i want anything that is red/black/brown switch 

Specs of my PC:

CPU: AMD FX 8350  Motherboard: Gigabyte 990XA UD3  GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 2GB  HDD: WD Green 2TB SSD:  Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD RAM: Corsair 8GB(2X4) PSU: CoolerMaster G650M

You won't go wrong with the G710+, seriously, as stated by many guys above already. I hope I could get one as well but I can't buy it here in Viet Nam.

About the K70 though, not a bad choice either, the key profile is kinda special to look at and typing on it is indeed nice (personal experience after like 10 minutes trying it out in a shop) :P

Spoiler

If one keys backlight is not working instantly, take the key off because there may be a thin piece of plastic under it like with mine.

The G710+ doesn't have LED issues. The K70 does.

The G710+ has loose keycap issues.

Oh dear I dont like any of this. What do I go for. Might just go for membrane lol. What about the CM storm trigger,6GV2,etc.

Many of the boards are fine. You have a slim chance of getting a bad board. A mech board is definitely worth it.  Really any mech board is good (minus companies like Rosswell and Tt Esports) Just get one that you think fits all of your criteria. Review or opinions arent bad to get though.
