i know im getting blue switches. i just have no clue WHAT THE forget TO BUY

CM Storm Quickfire XT
http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-XT-Mechanical/dp/B00DKXXABK

Havit HV-KB366L (the black and silver one)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0154G6SRS?psc=1

Corsair Vengeance K70
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00IVEGSIA

g710
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126377

im looking at these right now. i need it to be $100iSH. help formS

i'd say the quickfire xt because that's the only one you're going to be able to find a suitable keycap replacement for
bottom row on k70 and g710 is kind of a deal-breaker in that aspect

i can't say anything about the havit one but that's only because i've literally never seen their brand anywhere

oh my god i literally just bought the CM Storm Quickfire XT blues on the 24th lol

anyways yeah i'd go for the CM Storm, i got mine off of newegg not sure about amazon

this is like the difference between prebuilts and custom build computers
everything you listed is pre-built
heres a custom mechanical keyboard

a little more expensive but so much more worth it

id go for the CM Storm, one of the better keyboards in terms of price/quality
reds master race

reds master race
i picked reds and i regret it completely
you just bottom them out every time, dont even bother trying to hit the exact point where the key registers

a little more expensive but so much more worth it

This is a 45-50% increase in price. This is stuff-your-pants-level more expensive.

you asked for around 100 dollars
its 145 for the cheapest

i'm using a razer blackwidow ultimate
nice backlighting, user-friendly settings, and it has a nice clicky noise.

lol if you're gonna get a custom built mech you might as well build it yourself
also these aren't custom-built at all
they're pre-built with custom-ish keycaps

never go razer
yes they are custom??
you choose literally everything you want
ok i only want 44 keys in a delta-style case

I didnt like the fact they dont use cherry mx switches

because blues consist of 2 pieces, the actuation force varies by like +/- 10g of force I believe, but I can just buy two blues for less than a dollar each and replace them on my mini keyboard

idk why u would want a different font but ok
order your own key-caps then

no

you must've misread or something but i meant a keyboard with only 44 keys and all of it in a triangular arrangement/delta-style case

backlighting is useless if you can touch type like a normal person
