Best RGB/MX Blue keyboards out there?

HeftyNugget
Go to solution Solved by HeftyNugget,

I went with Strafe RGB Blue MX.

I have a nice budget of 300-400 USD but for the love of me - I can't find a keyboard that has both RGB per-key lightning and MX Blue switches

For 300-400 USD you can get everything on the menu....i would check the K70 RGB,STRAFE RGB and G.Skill Ripjaws KM780R

When life gives you drugs you sell them for a living.

You have awared my view , thank you. I have never EVER seen Corsairs with blue switches. In this case I highly recommend the K-lineup of the Corsair.

You can't get blue switches on Corsair's K70/K95 - there's literally no product like that available on Polish market, only ones with brown and red switches.

When you said 300-400 so we though you where in the US,next time please say where you are instead of just using US currency :)

Yes, I can't get on it on corsair's website either - didn't I mention that?

There's literally no 'add to cart' button.

Why not just go for brown or red switches then?

In fact, I'd be fine with any keyboard (even without RGB backlighting) as long as it has MX Blue switches and not glossy keycaps.

I pick up my corsair K70 cherry mx blue tomorrow, i'll let you know my first impressions. It's said to be the best mechanical keyboard out there, see if it claims the title.
