Purchasing a mechanical keyboard

[Reymuu]

I want to purchase a new mechanical keyboard and so I've done some research on them and have narrowed down my list to: (Not in USD)

ASUS ROG Claymore Core (Cherry MX Blue) $230

Razer Blackwidow X Tournament Chroma (Razer Green) $230

CoolerMasters Masterkeys L (Cherry MX Blue) $190

I have heard that many people had issues with the Claymore, and some don't like the Razer Green switches compared to the Cherry MX Blue switches.

What are the differences between Razer Greens and Cherry MX Blues and does it make a difference?

Reason why I'm willing to pay a bit more ASUS or Razer over the Coolermasters is because they have the metal top plate mounted design.

I've also read that Cherry MX Blue's had issues when coming out in RGB housings. Is that problem fixed?

Why those? What are your requirements/needs?

Just want a clicky switch, and a keyboard design that looks nice. RGB would be nice but not necessary. Willing to pay slightly extra for it but won't overpay for it.

Quality control is an issue there, m8

So does the Razer keyboards often have issues with them or?

Have you considered the Corsair lineup?

Yes I have, but they are very expensive if they are not on sale.

I have the G.Skill KM780 RGB Brown. I would HIGHLY recommend it. In my opinion it is the best mechanical keyboard money can buy. It's built like a tank, weighs like 6lbs and is impossible to even flex it a little. Keys are perfectly spaced for typing and it is stupid easy to clean as the keys are up top of a brushed aluminum plate.

K70 RGB isn't expensive at all compared to your offerings.

K95 is probably out of your league, but it's basically the best.

What are you looking for in a keyboard? If it's just RGB with good build quality and a floating key design, you should really consider some cheap Chinese keyboards off sites like Aliexpress or Gearbest. 

 

Otherwise, the Cooler Master is technically the best keyboard on that list, though it still has issues like cheap keycaps.

Have you used mechanical switches before, or are you just assuming Blue is the one you'd like?

My friend has Cherry Blues and Red's and I just love using the blues. The tactile feeling is really nice for me. Other than that, first time.

Well if I look at Amazon they aren't but in the stores in my country, the Strafe without RGB is $220. K70 goes for $300

The keyboards I have listed are currently on sale

It really is, Mic and Headphone pass through along with USB pass through is just the cherry on top.
