Black Shark RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard LED Backlit Wired Keyboard with Blue Switches, Fully Programmable, Anti-Ghosting 104 Keys for Desktop PC, Sixgill K2

This has the best switches for gaming and you can choose between the blue & the red touch types as you prefer. For some reason though the charge $2.60 more for the red type. In case you are not aware here is a reprint from "Tom's Hardware" site explaining the different switch types:==========================Cherry MX Reds are some of the most widespread switches out there, and for good reason. These linear switches require 45 grams of force to actuate. The light touch makes them a good choice for both gaming and typing. The keys are also very quiet, particularly the MX Red Silent variant, which makes them good for office environments or crowded houses.Cherry MX Blacks are linear switches that are very similar to Reds, save that they require 60 g of force to actuate. They feel a little more resistant than Reds, and are also available in a Silent variant.Cherry MX Browns are some of the most popular switches in gaming keyboards. Browns are tactile switches that require 45 g of force to activate. They don't make much sound, and spring back very quickly after actuation.Cherry MX Blues are "clicky" switches, meaning they make audible clicking noises every time you depress them, like typewriters of old. Some users find the noise gratifying; others find it insufferable. You won't know until you try. Cherry MX Blues require 50 g of actuation force.Cherry MX Speed or Silver switches are built with gamers in mind. Like Reds, Cherry MX Speeds are linear switches that require 45 g of actuation force. Unlike Reds, though, they travel only 1.2 mm rather than the standard 2 mm. This theoretically lets gamers pound keys faster.=================================So once you decide the type you need you can explore the different keyboards. The most common are the red and blue of this keyboard. For the price you get a high quality keyboard (full size) with the mechanical switches you prefer. Great price for a quality keyboard.

THIS REVIEW IS TEMPORARY AND WILL BE REMOVED IF RESOLVED.They keyboard overall seems quite nice but I just got the keyboard last night, took it out of the box, and discovered my left shift key (my second most used key on the keyboard) is sticky and dull. It provides no feedback when clicked and does not always register the click. I have tried removing the key and cleaning the slot and the key itself to no avail.Overall, this keyboard honestly seems wonderful as the rest of the keys provide wonderful tactile feedback and the RGB lighting is quite enjoyable. However, you need to get all 104 keys right or the keyboard just feels off, especially when it's as important as the shift key. As a business owner myself, I know things like this just happen, no one's fault in particular. If we are able to get this resolved (as it's likely just an unlucky order), I would give this product 5 stars. I had no way of reaching out to the seller directly hence while I left the review here.=================UPDATE: My keyboard has been replaced and is worked as expected. Thank you!

I got sick of constantly wearing out keyboards so finally decided to get a mechanical keyboard. I have had this one for over a year now and it is fantastic. I was worried that it would be too loud, but it is not a lot louder than the other keyboards I have owned, and it is much quieter than other mechanical keyboards I have heard.It is also nice that the keys sit far enough off the base that it is easy to blow dust out from it. The colors are nice, and the keys area really easy to see in the dark. I do a lot of photo editing, which is best in the dark and requires a bunch of funky key combinations that I have to look at the keyboard to do, so this is a nice feature. It also does not take up any more space than necessary given that it is a full sized keyboard with a keypad. It is a small rectangle that just fits the keys, so there is plenty of room on my desktop for a mousepad and full sized graphics tablet.I do not know what makes it a "gaming keyboard" other than having a full sized keypad on the side, which is a must for any keyboard I own regardless of games. When I think of a gaming keyboard I think of having a bunch of extra, programmable keys, which this does not have (They may be programmable, I never bothered to check, but there are no extra.). Regardless of gaming features, this was the perfect keyboard for me, and very affordable.
