Which keyboard is better?

[abduABS]

Hi, I've been looking for a keyboard that have the following specs:
-RGB
-Under 80 $
-Good key switches
- Obviously gaming
I had found two keyboards that may satisfy my specs:

Razer Crynosa Chroma - http://amzn.to/2olY6gf
CORSAIR K55 RGB - http://amzn.to/2ER28aR

So which one is better? and if you have any better keyboards that ships internationally please inform me.

from my experience with corsair and razer products, I'd suggest to look at Logitech offerings as it is much more reliable.
I've been disappointing by both Corsair and Razer peripherals (keyboards and mices) as they simply break too fast.

The main difference is that the Corsair has dedicated macro keys that need no software to program and dedicated multimedia control keys (volume, mute, play, pause, etc). The Razer has software that lets you customize the color and function of each key individually. Neither uses mechanical switches.

So do you have any other suggestion for other gaming keyboards larkspur ?

I can't really find any name-brand keyboards with mechanical switches that match your specs and budget. Of the two you linked, I like the Corsair K55 better. While those aren't mechanical switches they should still "feel" decent and should still last awhile. I've been using a Logitech RGB back-lit gaming keyboard that doesn't have mechanical switches for 5 years now and it still works fine. Of course, it's been discontinued.

This is a good keyboard that matches your specs except the price is higher than you wanted: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Spectrum-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01BBKYM3I/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BBKYM3I&pd_rd_r=T5W72YDA2G8M59YZ34W7&pd_rd_w=1ZNRZ&pd_rd_wg=64FWL&psc=1&refRID=T5W72YDA2G8M59YZ34W7

This is a good keyboard with dedicated macro keys (if you need them) and a smartphone/tablet "dock" but it is even more than the one I linked above: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Orion-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00N3OELPU/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1519499184&sr=1-4&keywords=logitech+mechanical+keyboard
