First link i never heard of the brand, nothing about it sticks out except the high pricetag. if you want individual led keys, look up the ducky shine green leds. blue leds are very bright

second link is nearly identical to what i have, very good so far

steelseries has the big fat enter button which makes the right shift short and moves the question mark which is annoying

fourth link doesnt work, whats the model name.for the razer?

blackwidow ultimate


Again i dont like the blue leds but adjustable intensity is nice

i wouldnt get a keyboard with mx blue switches for myself because they are louder and more difficult for rapid keypresses like you would use in a fast paced game. they might work for you if you primarily dont play those games

once you buy mechanical youll want to buy another to use at work so you can swap out and get gaming switches for home

I like the plain look and feel of my linear ducky without leds

everything about these keyboards is just small preference things anyway

My laptop has led keys and I didn't care much for them before I bought it, but they are pretty awesome @ night.

Mine are white though, blue would probably get annoying
Then again, it's all personal preference like task said

I should proelbay purchase a new keyboard.

Between the wife spilling wine on it and me nutting on it just to be a dick, I'm surprised how many keys are unstuck.

the blackwidow stealth looks interesting, dont like how they dont list the manufacturer or specs of their key switches though, they may be shitty chinese things

red

red switches basically have tactile feedback when you bottom out the key onto the keyboard frame since the actuation force is so low
