Mechanical keyboard for gaming help!!!!!

[megab2000]

So I have pretty much upgraded everything in my computer so most of it is to my liking and now im back on the cycle of upgrading peripherals.

 

KEYBOARDS!!!!! So currently I am using a steelseries apex. but theres a slight problem with it and has been since day 1   - the number keys 1 and 2 sometimes dont press at all and sometimes press twice?!??!! this is starting to annoy me and now i want a new keyboard.

 

I want a mechanical keyboard this time. and dont really want to spend too much on it (under like £170/$230)

 

I started researching the cherry mx keys but dont really know of any other keys at the moment.

 

My questions:

 

1) What are the best cherry mx RED keyboards for value?

2) What are the best cherry mx BROWN keyboards for value?

3) If you reccommend non cherry keyboards, what are the best non cherry keys?

4) And keyboards that have those non cherry keys?

5) Any other suggestions?

1: no idea

2: a used K70 like i have lol

3: logitech romer G switches

4: not to familiar with Logitechs gear, its not cheap so i have none of it, i just like the roamer G switches above Razers and Khalis switches.

5: try getting a deal on something used if you dont mid that, got my K70 with browns for $50 so it was basically a steal

I have a corsair K65 and i love it! the lighting is very nice and the switches are quick and have a nice sound, they are guaranteed for something like 70 Million pushes on each switch, i would go for the K70 if if you want a numbered, but i love mine and i recommend it!

The corsair K70 (K65/K95 too) are hands down the best in my experience - having tried multiple ones in stores.

 

I'd stick to the MX Brown switches, but everyone varies on opinion. I find blues to be too noisy and reds to feel like mash potatoes.

And

 

1) K95

2) K65/K75

3) I'm my opinion any Logitech/Razer keyboard

4) pretty much any cheap keyboard

5. ruer black widow series, logitech mechanical keyboards, ducky shine series.

The Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Rapid goes for about $70 on Amazon right now ($60 after rebate) and probably a similar price in the UK. It's a tenkeyless variant, sacrificing a numpad in favour of a more ergonomic setup where the mouse and keyboard can sit closer together or you can have the typing area of the keyboard in the center of the screen without having the mouse too far to the side.

If you're a fan of tactile feedback and want a delightfully clicky keyboard (Cherry MX Blue clicks are some of the most satisfying sounds ever), then I believe this keyboard is the way to go. As of now, I do believe it's also a few bucks cheaper than the Logitech K70 and has an aesthetically pleasing industrial/metallic gray-and-black finish.

I could be wrong, but you can also get variants with either Cherry MX Red or Brown keyswitches.
