Leaning towards the Masterkeys Pro S, the numpad really only ever comes into play with muting myself in TS or Discord and I can find a new button for that. Some games utilize the numpad but not many. Just want overall opinions on each keyboard.

I got my Pro S little over 1.5 months ago and love it (I wrote a review on it, if you're interested. Link in signature).

The version I got has Browns and RGB lighting.

get a k70 i am really enjoying mine 

I don't like the branding on Corsair's keyboards and like the simplicity of the 3 I linked.

Can't really go wrong with any of those three. It really comes down to if you truly need the num-pad and if you want RGB lighting. Also, most people usually rank Cooler Master and WASD Keyboards above Corsair when it comes to quality anyway, if you were considering K70 and quality.

I'd also vouch for the Pro S, I got mine in mid October, and love it to bits. Also went for MX Browns + I never really used the numpad on my previous keyboard so decided to save on both the desk space and money.

PC Specs: i5 4690k, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, HyperX Red 16Gb (4x4), Define R5, EVGA G2 750, Samsung 850 Evo 120gb + WD Blue 1TB, MSI TF5 GTX 970.

 

Peripherals: 1 x Asus VX239H, Logitech G502, Masterkeys Pro S, Superlux HD668B.

I personally have the pro L. For the price to functionality stand point its not the best you could get. It is a great keyboard and the lighting is great. I found the modes to be lacking in choices (not as many or as well programmable as i thought when buying.) I personally wished I had pocketed the money and gone for a little more expensive one with more features.

For gaming, numpad is pretty much useless unless you still live in the age of playing multiplayer games on one keyboard :P 

But seriously though - I would give up the numpad. It gives you more space on your desk and less space between your hands, it's more natural and ergonomic. Any games that use some keys on the numpad (e.g. World of Warcraft) can be rebound to other keys.

True, and if I truly ever do need the extra keys there are products out there that offer them.
