K70 due to what I've heard about their build quality.

Corsair K70. If I hadn't got the board I have now, I would have gone with the K70. The Ducky is just a little too pricey, and I don't like white keys. Even with that gorgeous backlighting.

From those 3 the Corsair K70, but have you also given CM Storm peripherals any thought? (http://www.cmstorm.com/en/products/keyboards/) Possibly Trigger or one of the Quick Fires?

It's a question of taste, what suits some, may not for others....personal preference rears its ugly head again. For me, the Keycool 87 would be very nice, really don't mind getting it actually, but first choice would be Ducky since that pic of the DS II Special Ed Cherry Blue with white key caps is mine. But in case I've not emphasize myself enough...

DUCKY!

The above is a Ducky DK9008, I'd spray painted the top cover white, and use Ducky white on white key caps....for that Mac look. :)

Corsair K70, if you like reds with that design. If you want blues or browns you will have to get the variant with a gun metal backplate and blue led lightning.

Wait they are only doing the blues and browns in the gun metal variant? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK CORSAIR.

Costly to have more SKUs.

 

The gunmetal backplate looks nice though, almost as dark as the black backplate.

if you let me cut off the function row and arrow key block and replace all the keys with blank metal ones and have a red backlight the i would take the keycool but other than that i would take the K70 because i love the scroll volume nob. I dont really care about any ducky other than the PBT cap ones or the ducky mini

k70 of course!  I wanted a k70 but found a k95 on sale on amazon. They are the same other than the macro keys and it is pretty amazing. The red switches take a little getting used to though (really sensitive).
