Best mechanical keyboard for gaming

[iSammmmmm--]

So i've decided to finally upgrade my peripherals, and i'm looking for a keyboard under £100, so far i've narrowed it down to:
QPAD MK-85
Razer Blackwidow 2014 expert
Logitech G510s
Corsair K70
Steelseries 7G
I can't decide and i'm open to suggestions

It's all personal preference which keys you prefer. You'd need to demo them first if you don't know what they feel like.

I mean personally I'd never go for Razer because they only do Blue which I hate but maybe you'd like this, Blue is definitely best for typing, I don't really see why anyone would want it for gaming.

Steelseries do Brown which feels most like a normal keyboard, but mechanical, squishy but no click at all, good all round.

I'd probably choose Corsair who do Red which is the most common and most natural for most people, a fast actuation point with a very light clicking sound making it perfect for gaming, so a safe bet if you're not sure.

These are the 3 I'd choose between.

the QPAD also used red's however i didn't know that the razer only came in blue so thank you!

Most of Razer keyboards have CherryMx Blue switches, they market that specific keyboard has having proprietary Razer Green switches, which are basically like Cherry Blue. They do however give you an option of Razer Orange on the site, which is going to be like Cherry Brown (like the Steelseries). They will likely have stopped buying from Cherry and are making their own but they basically behave the same.

The only way you'll know for sure what you want is if you can find a store that let's you test the feel of them, but again if you really can't make your mind up you will not be disappointed with Corsair and Red switches.

Unfortunately there's nowhere near me that has that many keyboard's in store

I know red switches get all the praise for gaming performance, but when I used my coolermaster cherry mx reds next to my Razer cherry mx blues, I feel much more comfortable gaming on the blues for some reason. The tactile response on really helps me.

There's a store near me that has a small selection of keyboards so i guess i'll go try there and see which i prefer
