Find whatever kind of switch you like the most and just buy whatever fits your budget, the switches are the same it's only the casing and lighting that's different in that price range

CPU: Intel Core I7 7700K & Corsair H100i v2
Mobo: Asus Maximus IX Hero
RAM: 32 Gigs @ 3000Mhz, Corsair Dominator Platinum
GPU: Asus Strix 1080 A8G
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500gb
PSU: Corsair HX750i
Case: Fractal Design Define S

you should not think about budget because if you buy the wrong keyboard you will not like it and regret buying a keyboard that is not for you save up and get the better keyboard that suits you best.

So do I.

Accidentally spilled water all over the thing and it survived. Thought i would have to RMA it like my crappy Razor keyboard but was so pleased a few weeks later when i plugged it in again.

They built the thing like a tank

Like said above important thing is finding switch you're comfortable with.

If you're uncomfortable with it, because of noise or accidental presses from too light resistance etc, then nothing else is going to make it good...

No matter even if you got it for free.

 

So decide first you would like switch to avoid making unnecessary noise, or if noise doesn't matter.

Then do you want lightest possible switch, or would you like some initial resistance in travel before key press is registered.

Unlike membrane/rubber dome keyboards with clear initial resistance and key press detected during bottoming mechanicel switches detect it half way down.

Only then you can start narrowing down what makers have such keyboards.

 

Also if getting more than cheap model you should demand keyboard to have actual dedicated volume control knob/roll.

Pure water itself is electrically non-conductive, so if keyboard is detached from power fast and then dried well chances for it surviving are good.

Not so pure liquids are entirely different thing.
