Are mechanical keyboards that good for gaming? I just needed something "OK" for gaming.

as long as you are satisfied with what you bought I wouldn't worry about anything else. Mechanical keyboards are great but they are not essential. Its just that once you experience them its hard to go back to regular keyboards just because of how they feel.

The K95 RGB has Cherry MX mechanical key switches and a much better implementation of RGB functionality, the K50 uses what I assume to be cheaper membrane key switches and an implementation of RGB that's just one solid color.

Mechanical keyboards are great for gaming, but I personally think they are not essential. They feel a lot better than rubber domes, but it is just a matter of whether you are willing to pay the price for that improvement.

Depends on keyswitch and type of game. Also depends on personal preference.
