Hey guys, so prices here is SA are pretty damn High at the moment. I'm looking at getting the CM storm QuickFire XT.

 

the only feature It doesn't have is a backlight but I can get around that. just wanted to find out what you guys think of it as a keyboard. 

 

The Corsair K65/Strafe are more than double the price here same with the Razer models

Try Ducky? The Func KB460 is also really cheap - like $95 AUD.

 

would love to but nether of these brands exist in SA

Rats, can't help you much... Coolermaster is a reputable brand but the lack of backlighting really is up to you.

I can survive without it, not ideal but looks like my budget just went huge thanks to landing a massive DJ gig, So will prob be buying a BenQ XL2420Z and a Corsair K70 (NON RGB AS ITS SUCH A GIMMICK)

Whoa, if your budget went up do consider a Ducky keyboard be it Shine 4/5, Legend, Zero or One. Corsair and Ducky are both great brands, just Ducky has better build quality by a bit.

Well again Ducky doesn't exist in SA, and out postal survice is crippled, importing into SA is just not a option. 

 

I ended up Buying the Quickfire Pro, Has the exact same Cherry mx switches as the K70 1/3 the price and has backight,

 

Next up 24" samsung sold.. BenQ XL24020Z
