Reddit reviews Corsair Vengeance K95 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Cherry Red (CH-9000020-NA)

Here's a Corsair K95, 18 programmable keys. :D

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Keyboard-CH-9000020-NA/dp/B00CERXJNW macros, backlighting, <200.00, optional to get brown or red switches for a quieter typing experience, wrist rest, can't really eliminate the option for a cord if you want a mechanical, not sure how it compares to a razer in terms of size. razer keyboards appear kind of big to me (never owned one)

It's hard transitioning from the K360 to the Vengeance K95.

Save yourself $100 on the keyboard and go for something like the Corsair K95 (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Keyboard-CH-9000020-NA/dp/B00CERXJNW/ref=pd_day0_hl_0_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00CERXJNW&pd_rd_r=6a7f2b41-5869-11e9-9d06-a332060cea22&pd_rd_w=OqknE&pd_rd_wg=6xRo1&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=1881QFRE2M2JMCJNY6XE&psc=1&refRID=1881QFRE2M2JMCJNY6XE) and put the money towards a larger power supply :)

One advice I have for you:

If you're going for such a huge budget build and want to go all out, get a mechanical keyboard and don't get "gaming" headsets. In most of those, the audio quality is usually far worse than you'd be able to get by getting a mic + headphones.

For keyboard, I recommend something along the lines of Corsair K70 or its big brother Corsair K95. Keep in mind there are RGB versions of these keyboards, so if you're into flashy colorful stuff, you have that option as well (At a higher pricetag though).

For Mic + Headphones, I recommend Audio Technica AT2020 USB and Audio Technica ATH-M50.

Good luck with your build!

Cheers!

Just for information how about this price. Crazy: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816063....

Corsair k95 Wish they had mx blues, but dang are the k95 and k70 sexy.

Samson Meteor Mic

This is the Yeti.

Shitty lighting is because, well, shitty lighting :(

Mechanical board. It is a matter of choice at that point. You don't need programmable keys for gaming, but can be nice for mmos. I prefer linear switches for gaming. Corsair makes compact gaming boards (the K65) full boards (K70) and a large prgrammable mmo board (K95). And their boards offer MX Red, Brown, or Blue. So, it has a lot of options for your gaming needs.

K70

k95

r/mechanicalkeyboards for more information or more keyboards that would suit your needs.

You sure it is a K95? I have this one and it only has white lights.

Edit: Never mind. They have the same model but with rgb lights.

I have the Corsair K70 [non RGB] with Cherry MX red switches. If I were you I'd get a K70. My friend has the Razer Blackwidow with the custom Razer green switches. He loves it.

Before you buy a mechanical keyboard tho. You really need to try out each switch. You could either buy one of these to test it out, or you can go to a local computer store that has keyboards on show.
If you end up buying a mechanical keyboard without testing the switches out first. You may end up hating your keyboard.
Most people like the MX blues [the clicky ones].

I like the MX reds though because you can't feel a bump when you push down a key, and because they are pretty quiet [unless you bash your keyboard]

There are lots of mechanical keyboards on the market. You could go all out and get a Ducky keyboard or get a pretty cheap one like this one

If you want macros then you can go for a Corsair K95 which has 18 macro keys. If you want less macros then you can go for the Logitech G710+ which has 6 macros.

Just remember to try out each MX switch, and you should be good.

Dont think they make k90s anymore.

The regular version of the K95 would run you about $130 on Amazon

MechanicalKeyboards has THIS Thermaltake for $110

If you're OK with MX Browns, you could always get the Logitech G710+ for $109

I was going to suggest https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Keyboard-CH-9000020-NA/dp/B00CERXJNW but it not available any more looks like they replaced it with https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Color/Keyboard-Model/Key-Switches/Keyboard-Layout/k95-rgb-platinum-config-na/p/CH-9127114-NA

While not the most highly recommended keyboard around these parts, the Corsair K95 has probably the most left-sided macro keys I've seen on a keyboard
