Help me to select the keyboard

[Temuka]

Hello everyone! I want to buy some nice keyboard for myself. I just want to mention that I tried K95,actually it was nice,but I don't like the sound from the spacebar button... So here are my reqs and I hope you guys will help me to choose something:

1) Full size
2) Backlit is a must (rgb preferable)
3) Buttons must be pressed without force
4)Macro and media keys will be nice,but not obligatory
5)Membrane or mechanical doesn't matter
6) budget 50-130$

As I said in the beginning,I played on 150$ K95 keyboards and I don't understand what is all the hype with this mechanical keyboards... Maybe I don't type a lot and it's not special for me... So good quality membrane keyboards are also welcome

Brown switches:

Corsair ofcourse.

Well you have about every option in the mechanical keyboard category big questions are do you have any preferences between brands and do you want a number pad. Some good options include the

-quickfire tk if you want the number pad support but the the wideness of the number pad which come in brown, blue, and red switches with a specific color of back light for each model corresponding to the key switch.

-The ducky shine 4 which will offer the more obscure key switches but with somewhat multi color leds NOT RGB and amazing build quality but you may have to look to find them because many stores except Microcenter carry them.

 

Something you may want to do is try and find a dummy switch tester to see what type of switch you like (I believe you can find them for under 10 dollars american which should include red, black, white, green, blue, and brown switches for you to test before you pay lots of money for a keyboard. But I must warn you that once you go clack you can never go back

[Red Dragon]

Corsair ofcourse.

it does not matter either way both are out of his price range

G710+ was what I was going to suggest. Comes with Blues or Browns depending on your preference. One with blues is Blue and White while browns are Orange and Black.

[Temuka]

So it's like only g710+ and k70? Nothing interesting in this price range??

[Tytheb0ss123]

I would reccomed the logitech g710 or g710+ depending if you want browns or blues. I am actually typing on the g710+ because i love cherry mx browns.

[Temuka]

I've read on amazon so many bad reviews because of led lights that I'm afraid to buy it now... Seems so nice keyboard

The Corsair K70 (non-rgb) is about in your price range and you can get it in blue switches as well as brown and red.  Mostly red backlit but you can still find blue backlit out there if you look hard enough.

 

Not sure what you mean about the buttons must be pressed without force.  Unless you are Luke Skywalker using the force, then force will always be required.  If you mean not a lot of force then perhaps you would like the cherry MX red keys.  You really should try them all for yourself to see what keys you like.  Many people either love or HATE the keys they end up with as it is so personal.

 

In all mechanicals I have used, the space bar sounds different.  My Chroma (out of your price range) had a very loud a distinctly different sound on the spacebar, but my K70 (non-rgb) also has a different sound but is not much noticeably different from the other keys.

[Temuka]

Yeah,I think red or brown switches will be best for me,but I still can't decide which keyboard to consider
