Buying a Gaming Keyboard

[Dinos992]

Hello there, I would like to buy a gaming keyboard, I think a mechanical one will do the job. My budget is 100$.
I was thinking about this one but can someone explain me the differences between blue, brown, red cherry mx? I've watched so many videos and yet I cant understand a thing.

This should explain the switches: http://www.maximumpc.com/mechanical_keyboard_guide_2013

As for the keyboard itself, there are a ton of good options by Coolermaster (the CMStorm ones), das (although they may be out of your price range), Corsair, and Razer. They offer a wide variety of features and you'll have to decide what you want the keyboard to have (backlight, etc).

That is an excellent choice.That's exactly what I would've suggested.
Corsair Vengeance K70 is a little bit more expensive,but it's definitely worth it.One of the best mechanical keyboards available.

Read this to try and understand the difference between the Cherry MX switches.

Thanks for your responses, helped a ton! I dont know about the Corsair Vengeance K70 I dont seem to like that you place your hands in front of the keyboard like that, I think it kinda blocks my way. But I think you can remove that cant you? Although I would probably go with the cm, what the difference between those 2 keyboards?

Personal preference.I prefer the K70 over the CM storm,but the CM is a pretty good keyboard,you definitely won't regret buying it.

Ah yea, I only the the image on newegg, after watching the video I think the Corsair one is better. And only for 10$ difference, alright I can do that! 😀

The K70 is a great keyboard.It will last a long time.
All the best,mate.
