2 LEDs are SUPER optional. the only way i'll bite the bullet on a LED keyboard is if they do the responsive ripple (something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB_SSMBcpq4 )

Bit more. Same great Corsair software as the K70, so you CAN do the ripple effect, with the all-red LEDs. Great build quality.

I'm in the market for a gaming keyboard, and I don't really have a huge budget for one. LEDs are a nice addon (the only really cool thing I'd get one for is for the little ripple effect when you hit a key, I'd pay a little extra for a keyboard with that effect) but not required, I'd like a responsive and clicky switch so something like a Cherry Blue but I've heard that Blues aren't the best decision for a gamer. For reference, I've been playing a lot of Overwatch but I dabble in most genres of gaming (stuff like Kerbal Space Program for example) and I do a fair bit of typing but I'm not a HUGE fan of Cherry Browns, they don't have the response I like.

1. I'd like Blue switches

2. I said LEDs are super optional, I suppose I should say that extranious bits and bobs like macros, media keys, passthroughs etc. are also optional.

The keyboard is 87 new from amazon. I was giving you pros n cons of the keyboard. LEDs is a added bonuse and the cherry mx brown switches on this keyboard you barly press it maybe half way or 1/4 and it activates the key. it's amazeing all the bonuses and features for the price just my opinion . never tried blues but this keyboard is amazeing I'll leave it at that

yes but I've tried browns in the past (that specific keyboard at my local walmart) and I don't like the response in the keys. and doing some research I found that there is a blue version of that keyboard... for $150

Different strokes for different folks. I love the keyboard it's response time is lightning fast. blue for double the price I'm sure it's worth it beacuse a year ago I paid 100 or 120 for my keyboard V.v

OK, no offense, but clearly you don't know a lot about Cherry switches. Blues and browns both have a 4mm travel with 2mm actuation point. There is no difference in the 'responsiveness' between Blues and Browns besides the slightly lower force of Browns.

"Never owned blues" either by what you are saying blues is a fancy brown that you mash the keys down and blues is double the price okay

Neither have I, I'm just saying your info could be misleading to OP as all Cherry switches trigger halfway down

Yes but it's not misleading when it's true? never stated nothing about blues

[whiteGloveReview]

guys, so you know, I've done a lot of research on Cherry switches and I know that I don't want browns because again I've typed on a Brown keyboard before. I don't like them. From the multiple videos I've seen, they don't sound right to me and from my typing on browns, they don't feel right to me. I haven't typed on a Blue keyboard but from what I've seen from vids it seems to be my style.

From what I'm looking at around I think I'll like Azio's Levitron Mech5 for a couple reasons. 1 full sized keyboard. again I use numpad all the time because I was never really taught to use the numberline and I always default to sliding my right hand to the numpad for number entry. 2. it's $75 on amazon, flat, no shipping, no bs. 3. as a bonus, 5 macros on the keyboard with an additional 6 macros mounted on a rail above the function keys. (and possibly I could get more macro mounts in the future?)

-very expensive

-Romer-G switches, which are NOTHING like Blues

-RGB LEDs, which are extremely optional for OP

He was one of the first repliers to this post and i'm not getting that because it's out of my price range, LEDs, and Romer-Gs. I want Cherrys.

yes they're blacks butI think i can settle because it doesn't look like there's a good set of blues from my price range, i guess i'm just being cheap. and yeah used. i'm ok with that as long as the keyboard works as intended.

Not Cherry switches, but quality seems OK.

[whiteGloveReview]
