Need mechanical keyboard recommendations

I've been looking around for new keyboards and currently have my eyes on Logitech's G413(65 USD cheapest I could find) which features their own Romer-G switches. But another one I found is the Quickfire Xti(70 USD cheapest i could i find) that comes in cherry blues, browns and reds. There's also the masterkeys pro L and M (both white led versions) that go for around 80 USD. Comment about your opinions :)

Games I play the most: league, osu, csgo

*going to try the romer switches at a local store too

roamer G swiches feel SO SOOOOO bad, like id take them over Razer switches, but thats just because they at least all feel the same and dont have strange spring ping on like 1/3 of them along with other quality issues. id go for browns or reds if you play OSU just for the fact that they are faster and easier to do streams on. i have used browns and blues the most seeing as i like tactile feedback and its not like you cant play OSU on blues, its a great way to piss of everyone around you

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

I can see why most people would not go for Romer-G. Most people find them "mushy". Going to go test the Romer-G and compare them to the cherries myself before breaking the wallet. Still I find it hard to choose among them :/

i used to imagine they were pretty nice switches, thats what i had heard on the web and judged by info from the web, but then i went to try them because i thought they would be a nice switch and now i never want to have to contact them again almost. they are just like the worst of both worlds to me, muchy, poorly tactile and expensive

imo the major turn off for the Romer-G would be that there is no keycap customization :(

yah especially seeing as the keycaps of the keyboards with them look really bad and are strangely shaped further adding to the poor key feel

You have any other recommendations for keyboards in this price range?
