What keyboard should I get?

[flamefire999]

I need a new keyboard but I don't have a lot to spend. I'm only going to spend $80 at the most. These are the keyboards I found: BlackWidow Tournament Edition (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823114041) or the Poseidon Z (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823162029). Are there any better keyboards? And if not which one should I choose?

K70 - but its $130. Your in a no mans land for mechanical keyboards

SteelSeries 6G and Apex, CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid

What's wrong with the keyboards? Are the keys bad or something?

personally Ill choose the blackwidow for the sake of look and the green switches

The keyboards that I found

They are OK. The K70 is better. But you don't have much choice at the $80 limit.

What makes it better? If there's nothing wrong with the other keyboards then why would I get the K70?

Better features and quality. Look at reviews.

Which keyboard would be better for the price: Poseidon Z or the BlackWidow Tournament Edition?

 

[i7Baby]

Don't know. Look at reviews. It depends what you want in a keyboard - mechanical? 10 keyless? media controls? macros? baclighting?

I found the CM Storm Quickfire TK (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A378L4C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0068INSUM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=152CE3A0ADJ4DKDZ5EE8). Does it look ok?

 

[i7Baby]

Yes. Has it got all the features you want? If so, see if you can find a shop where you can try it out.

I think it does. I'm not sure what store would have a place to test keyboards. Do you know of any stores?

 

[i7Baby]

In Australia - yep.
