So I am looking for a keyboard and at the moment I am thinking of getting the k70 from corsair but I do not know. What would you guys recommend? 

 

My goal is to spend no more then $130.

I like what I hear about mx reds but am open to anything.

I mostly play Fps games like battlefield 3 etc. 

Please post a link to anything you tell me about.

 

Thanks

 

Edit 

Please tell me what switches you like and why. 

Edit #2 I am in the US.

If you don't mind tenkeyless, the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid is an awesome option on a budget. Here's my review:

As for the switches, seriously try to find a place where you can use some.

 

I personally could never live with reds, have tried 3 keyboards with them now and it's just not my thing.

 

I have blue's on my personal keyboard now, but hopefully I'll be able to try browns. Maybe I'll switch, maybe I won't.

I'm guessing you're in America or Canada by the time, so I can't help you with that.

But here in Europe there are more and more stores that have multiple mecha keyboards in stock.

I usually just ams them to open the box, never had any problems with that.

I live in the middle of nowhere so its hard to go to a store that has good keyboards.

i like the feeling of knowing when the switch actuates, i know blues are slightly of but i have become used to it. reds always feel cheap and plasticy to me

I think reds are too mushy really. In all honesty, I think I would prefer my rubber dome Logitech G105 over reds. My favorite is blue and then my runner up would be brown. They just feel so much smoother to type with and the tactile bump is nice.

There are a few great ones. My favorite two would be either the ducky shine 3 or corsair k70 (not released in blues yet). If you're on a budget, then ducky zero, ducky zero shine, or any of cooler master's keyboards are very good.
