First gaming keyboard (Need help)

Im going to buy a new keyboard, which one would you choose? There is 20% off on the Corsair Gaming K95 RGB, and there is 8% off the Corsair Gaming K70 RGB at my local store.
Or should i buy: "Logitech G710+" (Not on sale)
Or should i buy another keyboard? (Must be MX Brown) Price range ($100 - $150) (1 000 kr - 1 500 kr at my local store) 

BTW: They don't have the K70 or K95 without RGB in MX Brown

(Note: i have never used a so called "gaming" keyboard before)

Unless the RGB leds are essential I would go for the G710+, as it has the keys you want.

 

But if you can find the corsair ones with browns then go for those, while I can vouch for the G710+ I am rather certain that the corsair ones have some better features. I for one would like to have the RGB led's, regardless of how useless they are. <<typed on a G710+

 

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

It is all preference. I would say brown is better for gaming because you feel when you pressed the key (not with reds) and double tap easier (not with blues) plus the bonus of more satisfactory typing with browns over reds.
