I ' m only 20 so I choose not to drink at games yet because I ' m not hardcore , ripFtfy <| sep |> It was never meant to be allinclusive , that would take too much time <| sep |> First I ' m not an expert for mechanical keyboards . You want expert opinions , head over to rmechanicalkeyboards they also have a good wiki . In terms of feels , the most important part will be the switch you pick , and apparently you ' re already set there . I hope you ' ve tested the various switch types somewhere to come to this conclusion . Custom As a first mechanical probably not worth it , and may be outside of your price range anyways . Now , if you want shiny and are willing to spend for it , Corsair has turned into the default choice for a reason . K 70 and K 95 are both solid options , pick the switch you want . Ducky has a reputation for good boards , and is quite popular in the midrange of mechanicals as far as I know , though it ' s not exactly marketed as a gaming keyboard . Often still shiny , though . Das Keyboard I assume you mean makes some rather officestyle boards . I have one , I love it , but if you want shiny , the rather understated design may not be for you . The model 4 , while pricy , is a great pick . If you want more of a budget solution , Cooler Master has a decent lineup as well , with their various Quickfire boards .
