Best gaming keyboard I could get for under $150?

[Element]

I'm looking to get a keyboard to replace the Logitech G19s I currently have since it just doesn't seem to work well for me, any suggestions? It has to be mechanical, preferably with customizable backlighting and no massive wrist rest.

CM Quickfire TK if you want to spend less, Ducky Shine if you feel like spending it all.

Browns/blues for typing comfort, silly to buy linear switches if you don't play rhytm games.

Both the qpad mk-85 and corsair k70 wristrests pop right of if you don't want them so they are viable options as well, just not something I would buy personally.

As much as I dislike blue switches and razer products in general, the blackwidow is not that bad either.

You would be better of either making your own thread or heading over to the Linux general thread.

I'll help you out, but not here. Also, http://roccat.sourceforge.net/general.html#driver_installhttp://roccat.sourceforge.net/general.html#driver_install

Corsair Vengeance K95 is pretty good. The wrist rest is removable.

Corsair Vengeance K70 is excellent too - fully mechanical Cherry MX Red key switches, programmable backlighting so you can have keys lighting up for the games you play and detachable short wrist rest. Can even replace the keys for gaming keys and a clip tool is provided. No need to install driver. Best keyboard I've bought so far and can use it for typing and gaming. Feels solidly built and built to last too, Love it..

If the k70, then get the model with browns or blues.

Thanks for your help, guys. I'm leaning towards the K70, but the K95 looks good too... Also, I should've added, I usually play FPS games. I know practically nothing about keyboards, so I'm not sure which of those two would be better for FPS

A keyboard is still just a keyboard, neither is "better" for games other than if you're interested in macro keys and junk like that. More important is typing comfort, and I can tell you for a fact that reds are atrocious to type on, and anyone saying otherwise clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't recall the k95 being available with tactile switches, so a k70 with browns would be the better choice out of those two.

Razer - DeathStalker is the best. You can change the backlight and can attach macros to every single key.

You certainly like Razer Deathstalker but it's not mechanical. You won't regret going for Corsair Vengeance range. They are stytlish and screams quality about Corsair Vengeance range too. Hmm, it's hard to choose between the K70 and K95 for fps games and probably not be able to tell the difference but I'd say K70 edged it because there are different versions of Cherry MX such as brown, blue and red.
