Which should I consider getting?

[flibberdipper]

So, I would like to get a backlit keyboard (even though I love the one I have now). I'm tied between the CM Storm Devastator bundle ($30 right now) and the Corsair Raptor K30 ($60). Now, my OCD says "GET THE RAPTOR IT WILL MATCH YOUR M40!!11!1!1111", but the part of me that knows I have so little money says "Get the Devastator that doesn't match, will probably require more crap software, and might not last as long or be as good."

 

And of course, the looks side of me kicks in and I find the K30 more attractive looking.

 

So conflicted. So, if you guys wanna help me out, that would be great.

 

EDIT: Here are the two I'm looking at, if you wanna know.

Why would you get one if you have one and you love it ????

Get the K30, save up if needed.

It's that simple.

My current keyboard is PS/2 (can't roll your face on it without the computer beeping from PS/2 limitations), and it isn't backlit, and I kinda need a backlit keyboard.

Any reasons that inclined you to say that?

Why not upgrading to cherry mx switches

Moneys.

Moneys.

Mhmm maybe you could save some, I think those Cherry Boards aren't that expensive

[Jerakl]

I would go with the CM thing. 

 

I have a dislike for Corsair keyboards <no bias here /s>

not to mention it's cheaper.

 

 

And for all those wondering.

 

There is no such thing as a "superior switch"

Dafuq ?? you think you could roll your face with a USB keyboard /?? also why would you roll your face on a keyboard ??? is it one of NO2 effects or something ?? edit the description it makes you say I have a backlight keyboard and I love it but I need a new one.

Yes yes there is, people have different preferences, some people like mechanical, people like rubber domes, people like those slime keyboards that you find on laptops like lenovo accutype.

Don't worry I wont judge you.

 

And that didn't sound like why you meant.

[Jerakl]

Gateron > MX

People usually get somewhat upset at my very strong/biased opinions.

I would if it was about GPUs or something that isn't that subjective.

Highly doubt it. I'll be lucky if I can sell a stick of old ram for like $7.00 on the Classifieds so that I can then have $7.00.

It's the N-Key rollover thing, I think (that might be the proper term).

To be fair, my keyboard was bought brand new off of eBay for $20. And it's as old as me. My only regret is that it's PS/2 (since you can't flap your fingers around on it gaming sometimes). Still worth it since I love the feel of the keys.

I don't think it does, or else I'm just good at confusing the hell out of my computer.

 

Anyways, sometimes when I play a game I'll hold down too many keys (like in insurgency where I often have W and A/D pressed alongside shift) and I'll get a beep since I'm throwing too much at it.

 

EDIT: Wow, way to make me post again ATT. Go fuck yourselves lol

Poor keycaps.

Non-Standard key layout, so you can't replace the crap stock ones with good ones.
