CM Storm keyboards are pretty dang good, Ducky too. What kind of budget did you have in mind?

Honestly, I just got it yesterday, but the Corsair Strafe RGB Cherry MX Silent is an amazing keyboard. I hate the clickty clack sounds of normal mechanical keyboards. The switch is built off the MX Red, just a more silent version. It is very very similar to my Logitech G15 I just replaced with this.

I have a G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX blues (Red backlight) but they do have a full blown RGB one as well. I really like mine a lot. The rails on the top of the keyboard are very nice and I 3D printed a stand that attaches on the rails for my LG G3. The mouse cable holder is very nice as well and in short lets my mouse have slack and at the same time my mouse wire is not going all over the place.

Okay so I really would appreciate some recommendations for a keyboard, I really like blue, red, black, and brown switches. I do want to say I've tried a lot of the corsair keyboards and I just like, hate them, no razer. having some issues picking one out >.< help?

I personally have used the Logitech G710+ for about 1.5 years now, and I would highly recommend it. Comes paired with easy to remove key caps for easy cleaning and switching (no remover tool required), 6 macro keys that can be programmed through the software to whatever function you want, as well as 3 switchable profiles totaling 18 different functions, full number pad and media controls, included removable wrist rest, and basically anything else you'd want in a keyboard. The G710+ has Cherry Brown switches, alternatively the G710 (no +) has Cherry Blue switches, whichever suits you better.

Yeah I've had the g710 with blue switches and I love, I think I'll just stick with it, thanks everybody anyway.
