Refurbished mechanical keyboards? They seem fine, as long as there is no cosmetic damage. Mechanical keys tend to last pretty long.

Purchase all the keyboards! Except for some no-name brands. Many of the old Logitech and IBM membrane KBs are known to last as long as cars. Unless we're talking about the Ford Windstar in which case your nail clipper is a better keyboard.

The old K70, the new K70, or the K70 RGB? If its the old K70 non rgb i wouldn't get it refurbished. Their known for being prone to LED failures and you have a much shorter warranty with a refurbished board.
