First Mechanical Keyboard

[pigwithtach]

It's my first time buying a mechanical keyboard and I was wondering what I should be looking to get. I am looking at the Corsair Strafe RGB https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CH-9000227-UK-Performance-Multi-Colour-Mechanical/dp/B0153MTX4S/ref=sr_1_52?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1483981444&sr=1-52&keywords=corsair and the Razer Blackwidow Chroma https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Blackwidow-Ultimate-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00OBPTZ6U/ref=sr_1_117?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1483979285&sr=1-117&keywords=razer&th=1 It would be used for gaming. Is there anything else I should be looking at within the £120 price range?

Cant go wrong with a Corsair keyboard, for gaming stick to Red switches.

Coolermaster Master keys are pretty solid, and very compact without sacrificing a number pad

Wouldn't bother with RGB though, white is fine, I went with red switches, they're alright

This one has brown switches

avoid razer they have a  quality issue i just got my k70 its a awesome keyboard.

I would recommend the K70, but Corsair's keyboards tend to be annoying to find in MX Browns. They exist, but they seem to really love MX Reds.

 

Otherwise I'd recommend Logitech's G710+

Can't go wrong with a corsair keyboard. I've used a K70RGB since release and it hasn't skipped a beat. There were issues with the old non-RGB leds burning out, but they've changed the design from the RGBs onwards and it's no longer a problem.
