Keyboard Suggestions?

SukaroBlue

I'm a Computer Science Major as of next August and currently I'm using the Keyboard pictured as my main keyboard which is mushy as all heck. So I'm looking to get a new keyboard but i have no idea what is good quality and what is total crap. I have a maximum budget of $150 but i'm only willing to pay that much if i find something that really really want. I like clickly keys that i can feel and i need something with a numpad. I'm going to be using it for college coding and gaming (non competitive).  also i hate red leds. Any suggestions?

The Ducky One:

$115, MX Blue switches (heavier, loud clicky switches) and white back lighting. A very simple keyboard. You can also get it in MX Browns. If you want to use Brown switches, you could also just get the G610 Orion Brown- white back lighting and MX Brown switches for $90.

I was going to say: Corsair STRAFE Cherry MX-Blue but nvm. its red..

- The Corsair STRAFE RGB MX-Blue is RGB so that might be a option? ($139.99)
- Corsair K70 LUX RGB ($169.99)

- Das Keyboard 4 Pro clicky ($165.99)

I'm a actually really liking that one. the blue accent with the white leds look really nice and the programmable keys would be really helpful.
