Best keyboard between these!

[GoldenEagle]

Hello! I am soon to buy a new keyboard. The K70 seems like a PRETTY GOOD keyboard! I really like how it looks and it just fascinates me. The same thing with the Ducky Shine 3 and the Ducky Shine 4, between these keyboards, which one in YOUR opinion is the best? Whichever has the most votes, I'll buy.

 

Whats the difference between Ducky Shine 4 and Ducky shine 3?

 

The K70 seems really good, but should I get it RGB or just the LED lights?

 

I have the money, don't worry! Just don't go over $200.

It's really personal choice at this point.

 

I grabbed a k70 non-rgb because I like red anyways (my favorite color is blood red, like the official 138/7/7 rgb blood red), and it cost me 110 dollars. I don't know if I see rgb being worth the price premium (because then you also have to use software, which in my book was a huge plus for the k70 non-rgb.)

I have a blue mouse, an LOGITECH G502, if I buy the blue led, will they look matching, thats what I also want. If one is red and one is blue it'll look confusing a little, at least to me. So what do you think I should do with it? I really want to buy a K70 and I might as well, blue? The only think I dont like is the red keys... So I'm kind of stuck

You know what, I thought RGB were just lights that stay as they are, now I know they move and that is really cool to me, so RIP money, I'm buying RGB.

If you can wait til mid-month November, the Ducky Shine 5 comes out and offers that RGB lighting if that's what you want (release price should be around $160-$165). Otherwise, a Shine 4 hands down, Corsair doesn't come close to the quality there. That said, here is a post you may find interesting with a Corsair vs Ducky post,

A lot of people tend to end up buying Corsair because it saves them $10-$30 over buying a brand that has specialized in mechanical keyboards for over 10+ years, I'll take any number of mfg over Corsair, Razer, and other gaming branded keyboards until they stop trying for a premium price and price themselves where the quality belongs, which IMO should be around the $100 range. Corsair selling their boards for $130+ when you can get a Ducky for that same price, absolutely not worth paying for the Corsair logo.
