Need help about which gaming keyboard to buy?

[Computer__GUY]

I am in the market for a new gaming keyboard. I don't want to spend too much, £70 is my budget although I could stretch to £100 but I would prefer not to. I really want a back-lit keyboard that is also mechanical. I have found two keyboards so far but I don't know which one to get. They are both the same price although one isn't mechanical and the other isn't back-lit:

OR

Which one should I get? Or what keyboard would you recommend? Thanks.

Ok thanks but the Razer keyboard I have chosen comes with Razer's own mechanical switches. If I were to get another brand then reds would be ideal as although I like the click, I feel it may annoy others on Skype calls, livestreams that I do etc... and reds I've heard are quiet.

Ok so if I were to go with browns, what keyboard would you recommend?

I would recommend getting a thermaltake poseidon z. There is no proof sofar that the kalih are of worse quality than mx, take the reviews about them with a grain of salt that most of them are from razer reviewers which has never had good mechanical keyboard quality. If you like the click go with browns rather than reds, i found that usually you can hear blues over a mic.
link $85: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823162030

for $95 you can get an official cherry mx brown not a kalih like above:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823201061

So you know reds and blacks are not horrible for typing it just depends on how a person types like, but in my opinion i do agree with bestmak that blues and browns are best for typing.
Though the king is a topre for typing and decent for gaming.
