I'm going to vote for the Logitech. I have owned numerous logitech products and the quality is fantastic. My G502 mouse is one of my favorite purchases. I'm looking at their G610 in MX Brown since I'm not interested in RGB and it's on sale now for $90. My second vote goes to Corsair for the Cherry switches.

Personally, I love my Corsair K70 RGB keyboard. I've owned a Razer Black Widow and didn't really like it compared to the Corsair.

I have the G610 and it feels incredibly solid.  Though I've never had any other mech keyboard to compare to...

I like the simplicity of just white lighting.  RGB is great, but only if you want to use it.  If you actually just want white, you're better off not getting RGB since they often don't do a good job simulating it, plus white will just be cheaper.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Also it is not worth me getting a metal case because i don't smash my keyboard.

I haven't owned it myself but the das keyboard is pretty good although the non-detachable usb cable is a bit of a bummer. If you want fancy rgb stuff the corsair strafe goes pretty deep with that.

if you want the razer switch you should buy a razer keyboard. Although given this I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for. The 2016 edition that you have is the most recent one so what exactly are you looking for ?

I prefer keyboard that offers real Cherry MX switches, although other custom switch made by Razer, or Logitech by Omron is still fine.

 

I personally use Ganss G.S 87 Cherry MX Blue and replace the keycaps with PBT keycaps, and DIY install the LED (the keyboard has all the circuit for LED, just not the LED).

 

Second choice probably Cooler Master, since it still use Cherry switches.
