So which keyboard should i get?

xYowie

I need help making a decision

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816070 (k70 rgb rapidfire)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16823816054 (strafe rgb cherry mx brown)

Not a cherry mx red fan, however because i play cs i think the rapid fire switches would be better than the browns. Also i want the lighting to stand out when the room is both dark and bright and the strafe seems better at accomplishing that.

Well you said you think the K70 is better... so get that lol. The K70 is a great keyboard. As for the switches, I've never used rapid fires but I have a keyboard with blues that perform very similar to browns and I love it. Game on it every day but it's also about the typing experience

Get the Razer Blackwidow Chroma Tournament Edition, its build quality is

way more professional and it has a app that you can easily change colors with.

For the price of $159, it is cheaper than the Corsair Gaming K70 with more

quality. Both of the keyboards you requested look horrible, so i cannot

tell you a choice out of those two.

My PC Currently Is The P2-1320a.

I'd suggest the K70 over the strafe spec-wise, but unless you are a serious competitive gamer then the keyboard isn't all that important as long as it has antighosting, your mouse is more important for gaming anyway. Maybe use the money saved for a better mouse assuming you don't have a good mouse, or another upgrade or just save your money.

I wish Corsair had standard sized keys for those who like swapping. No logical reason for those tiny proprietary Windows keys tbh
