Hey guys, I have ordered a new gaming pc with PCS and would also like to order a gaming keyboard to go with it :) (I already have a Razer Naga).
I'm new to gaming keyboards so don't really know whats good and what isn't.
What I would like is for it to be a mechanical keyboard and be backlit if possible :)
and Preferably one that can be added to my PC order but if not that's fine :)

I was thinking about the Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013 edition but have heard mixed reviews so I'm not so sure anymore.
Also haven't really got a strict budget.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated :D

Ducky Shine 2/3, Aivia Osmium, Corsair K70, various CM Storm boards.

For gaming I would recommend Cherry Red MX Switches which would rule out the Razer. From my short demo with one, I found the keys to feel very plastic'y and not reassuringly sturdy and although the clicky sound of the Cherry Blue's is addictive, I don't think it's really the best option to game on and you will mainly be paying for the brand.

The only board out of my list I have spent a long period of time with is my Aivia Osmium which is built like a brick and would probably survive a fall off the empire state building so I can definitely recommend that. If I had the money I would go for a Ducky Shine though (plus the fact I needed a decent wrist rest otherwise my desk will slice me to bits!)

Clicky

So if you are going for the trigger, get this version instead. Whenever it is released ofc.

Amateur.

Without my missus I wouldn't have bought any of my expensive peripherals (or even my rig for that matter). She's given me the final shove for every single thing :) She must be an alien.
