Which mechanical keyboard?

I think it's time to replace my MS x6 sidewinder with a mechanical keyboard.I like my keyboard but I want to try mechanical since I never had one.

The problem is that there are 100's on the market and it is really confusing with all these switches and features.

I want a keyboard mainly for gaming,backlit keys (not a must) and I would prefer it to be without a numpad due to lack of space.

So far I came up with the CM Storm quickfire rapid red which has everything I want and the Razer Blackwidow tournament edition which unfortunately doesn't have backlit keys.

Any suggestions?

My Blackwidow doesn't have backlit keys, i use a Daffodil ULT300 Dual Powered USB Lamp, but i'd go for backlit keys though.

Filco 10Key brown. Had it over a year, never looked back. Solid!
