Best gaming keyboard?

So I am looking to replace my lame wireless keyboard [rubber domed] with a gaming keyboard. I have searched for keyboards with Cherry MX Blue switches [i type a lot, and overall like the feel of the Blue switches], and have come up with the following two: CM Storm Quickfire TK & Corsair Vengeance K70 [non-RGB].

 

For you guys wondering what mouse I am using [For those people thinking about color matching], I am using the G502 Proteus Core[Gaming] and the Sensei [General Work].

 

UPDATE: I love the feel of the Blue switches, so I plan to get one of the above keyboards in the Cherry MX Blue version

Its up to your taste, mine was Ducky Shine 3 keyboard. Tis was the best feeling of all the displayed MK in a tech-fair. Although i cannot afford it(YET) i shall praise it, and if Ducky releases an RGB version... My money would be all over it

i have the k70 with red switches, i love it, i have used the CM storm with red switches over at a friends house and the corsair feels much higher quality and better built, but i think it is more expenive, well after all you get what you pay for  i gues..... i recommend the corsair anyways

It honestly depends on which switch you like. Not everyone is the same when it comes to a preference. Some modify MX Clears to make a Ergo Clear since they like it, but it's not available for purchase. Just get one of those switch testers to see which one suits your preference. JayzTwoCents made this video about switches. Might be useful to you. :)

I have watched the video, and played around with Cherry MX Blue Switches, and came up with the decision to get one with Cherry MX Blue switches, but cant decide between the K70 with Cherry MX Blue or the Quickfire TK with Cherry MX Blue...Its all stated above

I would personally get this. http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=758 It's good for gaming because the numpad is removed, meaning you can move your mouse closer to the keyboard which is good for aim. Also, it has all the function keys so you have full functionality.

Well i did consider using Tenkeyless designs, but the problem is that some functionalities in Flight Simulators will be gone because they are assigned to numpad buttons. Furthermore I am a casual gamer [just plays for the fun of playing around with glitches, running around TK-ing and just having fun], not a hardcore gamer, so I would not really benefit from the tenkeyless design

Are you trying to start a keyboard war? Because this is how you start a keyboard war.

Jokes aside, it's all personal preferenve about what's best. I personally love Ducky keyboards, and I love gaming with them, even though Ducky does not advertise their products as "gaming" peripherals.
