Best mechanical keyboard?

[HuckleberryWill]

Hello, I was going to get a new heatsink, but then when my keyboard began to fail I thought that perhaps a keyboard might be a little bit more important.

Anyway, I am looking for a good mechanical keyboard, with Cherry MX Blue switches. My budget is around £70, and I am thinking about a Razer Black Widow, but I would be open to any suggestions.

Thanks

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid / TK

The above have Black and Red switches respectively, but they are available in other flavours.

• SGK-4000-GKCL1-US
• SGK-4020-GKCL1-UK

corsair k90 has been great for me, build quality is excellent

Hey guys, been reading the thread and still can't decide which keyboard would suit me best. I literally only really play FPS games at the moment and want a keyboard with switches that don't have feedback and is backlit.
Budget is around £100 though less is preferable. Is the Coolermaster looking to be the best option? What switches are recommended, red?

Any help appreciated

In that case, Black or Red.

MK-85! /close thread!

Is it better than the k90?

The K90 isn't entirely mechanical. On the upside it's probably a little easier to clean...

The MK-85 has probably the best software/hardware combination. It also comes in all switch types and has a fairly robust build quality, though in comparison, they are one of the more expensive keyboards.

The K90 is £10 cheaper on OCUK than the MK-85, but I would prefer the 85 over the K90 for FPS gaming, for MMO, i think the K90 has the edge with the extra keys, even if they are not mechanical. The Corsair keyboards not being fully mechanical is probably one of the strangest things Corsair have done.
