Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid-i, Corsair K65 RGB, or Razer Blackwidow Tournament Chroma?

By better I mean, the feel, the software, the lighting, etc.

That's really hard. The corsair has the best feel and lighting, but the worst software. I wouldn't buy razer cuz it's cheap knockoff switches and all around its a pice of shit (I own one). I would go for the cooler master. Even though it isn't rgb, it's nice and subtle and still pretty solid.

Thanks for the comment. I was really reluctant on getting Razer because of all the negative comments about it. Is Razer really that bad?

pretty much. It's just plain obvious they are trying to make money.

once you learn the corsair software it is pretty darn good, and there is a simple mode too. id go for k65

Is it "quit after a few tries" or "watch a lot of YouTube videos and eventually learn it" difficult?

neither, once you understand the structure (took me about an hour) it's simple :)

Quickfire Rapid-i's, as of recent got an update so that the LEDs would stop randomly dying and it works well now. K65 RGB only comes with Cherry MX Reds (check out the link in my sig for info on switches as you may or may not like Reds) and the software is a PITA. Razer's Software is much better, though the build quality ruins the package. All in all, if you like Reds go for the Corsair but if Blues or Browns are your thing, again the link in my sig, then go for the Cooler Master.

I'd get the rapid-i because I don't like cherry mx reds that come with the k65.

It is "living in your mom's basement and you have nothing but time and beer" difficult. At least that is how people make it seem.

CM Storm keyboards are, in my opinion, better in terms of value. Their keyboards are good for the price, so that is what I would suggest.

If you really like RGB then go for Corsair.
