K70 Or Shine 3?

[brandon8890]

My keyboard recently broke and I am looking for an extremely good quality mechanical keyboard, probably blue or brown switches. I really can't decide on the Corsair K70 or the Ducky Shine 3. They are both priced at the same price in my country so it's a really hard decision. If you do have any other recommendations apart from these two keyboard please let me know.

Thanks

I would take the k70, ic comes with a wristrest and has a nice volume wheel...

I would take the k70 if you are going RGB for the above mentioned reasons and the aluminum finish.

[brandon8890]

Probably a stupid question but is the RGB K70 more expensive? If it is, how much more?

[Lavachyste]

Yes, around 40bucks more, depends from your region.

I would say take the k70 if you have the money for it

Damn I really can't make the decision. The shine 3 has the coolest lighting effects I've ever seen but the functionality and the rigidity from the K70 is just too good. Ugh so difficult to decide.

In my country, they are both the same price at $189 SGD

From what I seen the shine 3 doesn't do anything the rgb k70 cant, the shine will have it be a bit more user friendly in that it's just various modes, where is its all programmable with the k70 but you will get alot more custom nifty lighting options with the k70 then the shine3

Take a look here for some various profiles people have made and you will see what I mean.

Shine 3 is far better imho, altough the rgb leds are a nice if you plan on using them...

Yeah but the thing is, the RGB version isn't available and the keyboard already costs a lot to me because I've saved up a lot of my lunch money to get a decent one (I'm only 13) so I wont get all that cool functionality. I am so stuck

RGBs are being shipped, I just got a shipping code for my MX blue one a few hours ago.  If its not out in your part of the world it shouldn't be much longer.

Ultimately I would say it comes down to whats more important to you. 

If having it RIGHT NOW is more important, go with the shine.

If cool lighting effects and or a better material finish are more important wait for the k70

That's really good but its the price I'm really scared about. I've heard its what $40 more for RGB lighting?
