[SOLVED] New Mechanical KB, which one, Please help ?

o/ everybody!

Old time reader and poster (forgot the account and created this one) and I really need help.
I make a very intensive use of my PC and peripherals (IT/Writer), and i wreck them all rather quick.
Besides as KB age, they become less reliable, which translates to physical pain as my hands hurt.
I do around 150 to 300 kpm when i'm busy. I really need help to find a decent mechanical keyboard (around 150 eur/usd to 200 tops eur/usd) that is reliable and comfortable.

I bought a Razer Ornata Chroma, that is being returned as the keys started to stick with just two weeks use. No spilling, but it just suffered wear and tear really quick,like a cheap 20€ KB. Yeah, i wreck those in weeks. Besides that, it was just what i needed. The fact that the keys kick up after pressed relieved the pain alot, really comfortable armrest, look really great overall, solid, back-lighting was almost perfect and i'm actually sad that i had to return it.

Can you help me out ? My Razer Deathstalker is currently on its last breath (3 years use) ready to be shelved or given away. No cleaning will save it, as it is a wear and tear issue.

Anybody can recommend or give their opinion on the Corsair K68 (Red Switches) Or the Razer BlackWidow Elite (Green Razor Switches)?

Thank you in advance.

Personal Joke: First time in my life that i'm considering to buy a KB more expensive than my GPU. It sucks to get old.

Most people have issues with Razer product quality, I've used Corsiar keyboards before never had any issues with it. There are tons of keyboard options though that may be better for you, not just from the big gaming keyboard brands. Leopold, Ducky, Filco, Varmilo, brands like that. Getting a good keyboard with a metal vs plastic plate may be a good idea although those are most often found in the smaller keyboards. Drop has some good keyboards https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-mechanical-keyboard https://drop.com/buy/drop-shift-mechanical-keyboard#overview they have hotswap sockets so you can change the switches easily. Many 60-75% keyboards also have similar things. This may be good also https://www.hexgears.org/products/gemini-dusk-mechanical-keyboard

Having a good keyboard is not really strange to want, it's the main thing you actually touch and use along with the mouse and monitor, I found over the years that people spend a lot less than they should on things that are actually used the most, buy a $1,000 video card then they look for some $20 keyboard and mouse. People don't buy expensive cards with bad seats and steering wheels, but for computers they do.
