Specifically red/green? This red one is the corsair K70 which is one of the best out there, costing $179 @PCCG http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30623&cPath=257

I personally like browns so if you change your mind:

it worth it to get RGB backlit LED keyboard?

it worth it to get RGB backlit LED keyboard?

Well it depends if you want the eye candy . . . The RGB costs $250 or so AU, but if you have the money i would go for it. By the way, what are you using it for? If you are mainly typing and gaming i hear that blue switches are the best, but they are quite loud, which is why I use browns. Reds I guess are pretty good but i've never used them. If you like the feel then go for them.

How about the razer chroma?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma

Corsair Gaming K65 RGB LED

Corsair K95 Black with CHERRY RED

Just to let you know, greens is a very heavy and tactile switch compared to the red switches that are quiet, mushy and liner. 

My favorite are the blues that are like the greens but not as heavy. 

 

Some options could be:

• http://www.mechkb.com/vortex-kbt-one-mechanical-keyboard-cherry-brown#overview 
• http://www.mechkb.com/cooler-master-quickfire-rapid-i-tenkeyless-mechanical-keyboard

If you really want RGB:

• http://www.mechkb.com/logitech-g910-orion-spark-mechanical-keyoard
• http://www.mechkb.com/tesoro-g5nfl-lobera-supreme-rgb-mechanical-keyboard 

The Vortex ones are dirt cheap for a mechanical keyboard. The Razer RGB keyboard has there own green switches which are tactile switches, similar to browns.

The Logitech one also has its own switch, i think they are called omaron or something. But if you are interested, you could check it out more. (looks kinda to much for me)

The Tesoro uses Kaihl switches which are basically cherry copycats. 

 

All of the links are from mechkb which are pretty cheap but the shipping is kinda steep. So where ever you live, if you could pick it up, it will save you a bit. You might/could be able to find cheaper somewhere else if you look hard enough but yea.... 

 

(I live in New Zealand and everything here is crazy expensive so I tend to buy from overseas. And since our currency are pretty much the same right now, ive been looking at AUS sites)

The Razer BlackWidow Chroma is using lower quality switches that aren't manufactured by Cherry, I recommend getting a standard Corsair Vengeance K70, it's one of the best Cherry MX Red keyboards. If you want, you can save up for the RGB version, which has the same switches available.

How about the razer chroma?

Razer switches are manufactured in china, but people say tat there are no problems with them. I'd still go with a K70 but the razer is a solid choice and it looks amazing
