Sale on a Gigabyte Force K83 MX Red

[rejoininghottako]

So, I've been looking for a mechanical keyboard for some months now, I've always used membrane keyboards and they're just not enough for me.
First of all, I play CS:GO, and I usually press 3-5 keys at the same time, and my keyboard ''bottlenecks'' me, so to speak. If I press 3 keys at once, a fourth one is very likely to not be register, which is very rage inducing sometimes.
Also, the keys, due to the way the membrane design works, doesn't have a tactile bump, no, it's something more like thry to rip a paper sheet, IMO its as heavy as 55-70 grams of force.
So, this is my situation, as the title implies, I got a deal on a Gigabyte K83 MX Red, in a nutshell, it's the most basic keyboard ever, no lighting, no drivers, no absurd designs, and a great minimalistic font, size and placement that makes this keyboard look so clean...
But anyway, I got a very good deal on one fo them, it's new, so no worries there. Just wanted to say, I live in Brazil, our currency is Real, and currently its somewhere between R$3.60-R$3.90 = US$1.00, not even counting for taxes, specially on tech i.e. keyboards, mice, monitors and other hardware. Its normal price is something around R$380.00, and I have it going for R$200, shipping is neraly free, so I won't talk about it, but I believe this is an exceptional deal, even more so, as I'd actually buy something as this Force K83 keyboard rather than say, a MasterKeys Pro L, or a Strafe RGB.
I ask you guys this, is this a good deal? With that I mean:
Is the keyboard reliable and durable? Is it noisy or uncomfortable? Are the keycaps good enough, are they durable or will they wear out fast ? And also, about the switches, do Reds hurt to bottom out frequently, are them lighter because of the Linear design when compared to a Brown, for example?
As well, feel free to post your own doubts about and opinions about this keyboard, these switches, and anything else that might relate with the article.

So what is the question? To buy or not to buy?
Mechanical keyboards are pretty cool, just try not to buy the cheapest one you find. If it's base price is super low, there must be real reasons for this.

I was finishing article, accidentally posted it, sry :/
And yes, I'm asking if it's worth the money, as I'm saying up there, I dont care about lighting and ''Gamer'' design, I just want a VERY basic looking keyboard, and this is actually perfect for what I want. I just need some clarification on, mostly the keycap quality and on Cherry MX Red switches, as I have NO experience, what so ever, on mechanical switches.

Red switches are probably more similar to what you're used to with standard membrane keyboards. They are light, abd the main difference is the force is linear. Blues are a tad heavier than reds, and you feel a bump when the switch actuates. They also make an audible click, while red switches make no sound on their own.

Reading a few reviews, seems the keyboard is super cheap but good quality. If you want it and you need it cheap, go ahead. I use the light only for seeing the keys at night easier. That's one reason I'd recommend lighting.
Keyboard is like 40$ on amazon tho. Not sure how amazing your offer is.

Here on Brazil, these things sometimes are , withe no reason seemingly, very costy. I'd like not to risk, and wait, at sites like Amzon and AliExpress. And I know the basics about lighting and mechanical switches, i know a decent amount of it. My only concern is that I've never even seen a mechanical keyboard with my on eyes, so to speak, so I could be making a bad decision buying MX Reds. In a nutshell, I feel it's to risky. so I'd be thankful to see your own detailed opinion on these switches, specially Red of course.

read the reviews, most of them are positive. I personally have a different brand so I can't tell you for sure. And instead of waiting for people with the same keyboard to respond, read the reviews. But mechanical keyboards are pretty great

So, I was looking at the reviews and, damn, this keyboard is a beast. Everyone says it has an exceptionally high quality frame, with no bend at all, very useful FN + F keys Mutimedia buttons, like volume up and down, open calculator and open task manager. This just seem to have fallen from Heaven, it's great for what I was looking for. Thanks for the link there, and I'm ''doubt-free'' now...
