What's wrong with that G710+ 

Do you like MX brown? Or do you want something else?

What I chose in that price range was my Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro S RGB (with Browns) and I love it, but I'm gonna need some more of your preferences to know what to recommend.

 

Want MX Browns again? TKL or Full sized? Want macros? Media keys? Wrist rest?

I would prefer MX Browns but it's not must have in my budget. I preffer some media keys,no macros(useless for me),no wrist rest,TKL or fullsized(doesn't matter for me).

Take a look at the Corsair K70 and K65, Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro S and L and the Ducky Shiny keyboards.

Some have media keys under their navigation keys, some have dedicated media keys.

Check out the G810 orion, would be an awesome upgrade. I wasn't sure about my first mechanical keyboard being anything other than Cherry switches, but i'm so glad i got off the fanboy wagon. The Romer-G switches on the G810 are fantastic.

Varmilo VA87M or the VB87M (for bluetooth). They drop pretty often on Massdrop.

 

There's also the Ducky One RGB, if you like RGB.

 

WASD also makes some very quality boards.

the Corsair K70 is a good keyboard it's nice and sturdy and if rgb is something you like the software is good for making very intricate designs.

Why are you leaving the G710+? You're going to struggle to find one with things like actual media keys for a good price.
