Hi there guys I need advice on new keyboard. I never had a gaming mechanical keyboard but I would like to buy one now as they feel so nice when pressing (Cherry MX RED I only had chance to test). My budget is around £120 (+-£10). I have no idea which one to buy.

Thanks. Just quick question about the corsair ones about led's are they durable don't die over time as my friend has it and 4 keys aren't back lit anymore?

Not sure about that, something to do with the way the switches are mounted on the PCB or something I think I've read in the past. But they have warranty and there is an active Corsair rep floating around.

What i will say is pony up more money for a Ducky Shine 4 then and if only you had asked this last weekend when it was £30 off.

Also if you look at the DuckyUK Facebook page they say the Shine4 keyboards come with a free OMG mouse pad but cant see it mentioned here at OcUK, so worth asking I think.
