Backlights and macro keys vs mechanical keys

[zadawn]

If you would have the option to choose between a mechanical keyboard with no macro keys and backlights and a keyboard that is backlit and has macro keys,which one would you choose considering you're gaming?

a mechanical keyboard. there really is no substitute.

you do realize that you can get a mechanical keyboard with backlighting and maybe even macro keys right?

i know for a fact the deck keyboard uses individual leds under each key and i could have swore i saw a few keyboards with macro keys (but they might not have been mechanical actions on the macros).

I know that i can get a mechanical that include those feature as well but i caught a mechanical on a discount and just fit into my budget for a keyboard so i was wondering if it was worth it to choose the mechanical keys over the other features.

generally speaking, yes.
