Help Me Choose A Mechanical Keyboard

As per the title please help me choose a mechanical keyboard as I can't make my mind up :confused:

I've tried out the Corsair K70 RGB and I did like it but the issue with the full rgb palette not currently available is putting me off as I feel you're paying extra for this.

The others keyboards I'm looking at are the Ducky Shine Fire edition and Das 4.
The problem with the Ducky Shine is the different type of switches on it as I've only really played about with the Red and Brown switches so if anyone who has one can comment on them that would be great.

The Das 4 looks pretty well built but I would prefer at least some sort of colour on the keyboard so still up in the air about it.

Anyway any advice or comments are welcome!

Have you considered the Steelseries M800 at all?

I was in the same boat as you and ended up pre ordering that.

Actually yes but I didn't know anyone with the same keyboard that could provide me a decent review of it.

How do you find it?

Had a look at the review and it seems good but I'm now leaning towards the Ducky Shine 4 Fire version.

Has anyone got this yet and how do you find it?

I ended up just going for the normal Ducky Shine 4 not the fire version due to me wanting cherry browns.
I've not looked back since getting they keyboard, it's well built, there's no additional software to bloat my system up and it looks amazing.
The Corsair just has way too many problems for me and the fact they're aware they can't provide what they advertise just stinks and clearly shows that they chose to release the board so it won't hurt profit margins as much as not having the board out for sale at all.
