I would get a Keychron V3.
Hot-swappable switches, mechanical, wired.
Go for Redsm which is more preferable for gaming.

Nah not for me, I want something plain black tbh.

The keycaps can be swapped out, granted it cost you more but overall, a better keyboard than the Logitech...IMO.

Went with a Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition, I'll see if I like it if not i'll try something else. And also got the Logitech for £59.99 to try out alongside it, I can easily return/sell on the other one.

Looks like I'm almost certainly keeping the Razer.
It wins in virtually every category, barring pure aesthetics, I like the Logi RGB a tad more and I love the "G" illuminated in the top left. and the Logitech has a caps lock light, while the Razer "caps" key turns white when CAPS LOCK is on.
Razer wins on, Cable, cable placement, key caps (PBT), sound, actuation, a solid click down, whereas the Logitech, has kind of "double action" where it clicks first then actuates, if that makes any sense, pure gaming Razer wins easily, the press and noise experience is far better. It feels a little bit lighter to. I do like the Logitech though, but it has to go back.
Scores on limited testing:
Razer - 8.5
Logitech - 6.

Whats your budget cos you can get a really decent custom mechanical keyboard for sub 150 if you know where to look. Would need switches and keycaps though to make it happen though but if you're a tinkerer then you'll love the experience tbh.

Thanks but I'm very happy with the Razer, and I only paid £86, and tbh time is at a premium right now and i'm also scared of falling too far down the "custom keyboard" hole...
