I am looking for a new keyboard. I got a razer deathadder mouse black edition and i'm having trouble finding a good keyboard to go with it i don't really care what brand it is but i would like one that looks good and has blue back lighting. I am mainly having trouble weaving through all the "and this key board has this feature" kinda thing. I would also like one with media keys for switching songs in the middle of a game and sound.

I would also like to know what is the difference between a normal key board and a mechanical one

If you guys could give me some ideas it would me great. Thanks ahead of time! 😀
 
I'll respond in reverse order to what you asked.

A mechanical keyboard is different in the way the keys are made to respond to being pressed. A mechanical keyboard generally uses springs to make the keys feel more responsive (and louder) and bounce back up faster. It is also considered to be more durable (and expensive). It really just comes down to personal preference.

As for specific keyboards to consider, check out the Saitek Eclipse III, Razer Blackwidow Ultimate (mechanical), or the Microsoft Sidewinder X4.
