Hey everyone

 

I need a new keyboard, and I was looking at mechanical keyboards. My friend has one with MX Blue and it's definitely my favorite (I was able to try Browns and Reds too). 

I was thinking of either : 

 

- Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013

- QPAD MK-80

 

I'm sure there are other good out there, but these two are the one I hear a lot about.

 

What's important to me : 

 

- Backlit (too used to it to take a keyboard without)

- Numbpad

- Media key is a bonus, although not required to have them dedicated

Which do you recommand?

 

Thank you !

Bar the regular Zero, it doesn't have a backlight.

 

Well I obviously meant the ones that fit the criteria..

Exactly, MKB's with the 'gaming' tag/moniker do not have this regular rectangular shape of more elegantly designed MKB's like Ducky, Filco, Topre, HHKB and the like. Some do like these 'gaming' MKB's but it boils down to taste or preference. ALL my MKB's are shaped thus, with the exception of the two Triggers in my collection. And, yes, that's the DS3....
