Going from laptop keyboard to PC keyboard - wish to find similar feeling

[Virtualso]

I'm building my first PC and it's going well. I've heard of the various types of switches that mechanical keyboards use but haven't experienced them side by side (to my knowledge). I loved the feeling of my ASUS Vx7 keyboard but can't find the specifications for it (switch colour etc.). Any help in finding a PC keyboard that will feel the same way would be appreciated.

The ASUS keyboard felt very soft, light and didn't make much sound. I also never had any ghosting issues with it. From some mediocre research, it seems like maybe cherry Red switches are the closest in described feeling but I have no idea whether this is an accurate guess or not.

I am looking for a keyboard under $120. I've been looking at backlit and mechanical keyboards so far.
These are the keyboards on my shortlist so far but I am willing to go for something completely different if it will replicate the feel of the ASUS keyboard more effectively.

These two are flashier options and come with hand rests which I suspect I'll want. However, if they don't feel right there's no point.

The cheapest option and the one I am least sure about given its brown switches.

I think the Corsair k70 is the best option now. Going from a membrane keyboard laptop to a mechanical desktop is hard but I think you'll get used to it. I would go with the Corsair k70.

If you want a similar feeling to a laptop keyboard then check out some membrane keyboards. That's the type the laptop will use. They're usually cheaper too.

Thanks for the answers both of you. I have decided that having only ever used a laptop does not necessarily mean I can't get used to a mechanical keyboard. That being said I agree with you Lekingmoonya that the K70 is a good looking keyboard and the red switches will hopefully make the transition a smoother one.

Good to hear! Also, choosing a best answer will help anyone who veiws this thread with the same Membraine->Mechanical keyboard problem.
Good luck with the keyboard!
