1. Is it worth the money for a mechanical keyboard? I wanna upgrade my PC but that wont be till mid august, so i should have some more money.

2. What kind of key-cap should I get? I have never owned one before so im not sure what I want.

3. Should I just keep my G105 and then upgrade my PC?

4. What keyboard would would recommend? I want at least blue back-lighting or RGB so if I switch my color theme I don't have to buy another keyboard.

Well you can get the Poseidon Z ($70) and save the rest on something else. Trust me, its a good keyboard. You can check Linus' review on it. If you want to spend your $160 then K70 or K75 :)

What are the main differences in the K70 and the K75? (both RGB)

I use a mechanical keyboard at work, and a digital one at home. I don't notice much difference between a mechanical keyboard and a digital one, other than I can type faster and make less mistakes on the digital one because the keys are lower. I don't quite get the whole fandom of mechanical keyboards ("the typing experience is orgasmic"), using a mechanical keyboard is just typing words to me, not that much different from the digital.

I would recommend almost any keyboard that has MX Browns , MX Reds don't feel like a mechanical keyboard, atleast in my opinion. Blues are nice but after a year or two they will start to make very, very loud clacking, not clicking like they are supposed to. I have rubber o-rings on mx blues and my keyboard is loud as heck.

No such thing as K75, there is a k95, k95 has extra macro keys

Maybe it's a touchscreen keyboard lol. I sometimes see new product releases of 'mechanical keyboards' that are to be paired with tablet devices.

Yea, I just kinda called it digital because I didn't think to just call it a membrane keyboard, which is the very thing that makes it different from a mechanical one :P
