Hey guys!
I have chosen the Razer Deathadder for my mouse. I need a keyboard, what would you guys recommend me? I will be playing FPS games like CS:GO, BF3, L4D2!
I also need it to be mechanical.
Please give a reason for your answer!
Thanks!

Really there's not much difference in mechanical keyboards other than build quality and what switches you like.

I personally LOVE my Leopold with MX blacks - it's completely blank other than white WSAD and arrows, and it feels like I'm typing on a cloud of boobs.

Ducky, Das, Filco, Steelseries, Mionix even Coolermaster now make good mechanical keyboards. Go with one of them and you wont find issues build quality wise.
Deciding between the different models and brands just comes down to what you want in the keyboard.

I suggest you watch this to learn the difference between the key switches.

And this test will determine which keyboards (at least on paper) will suit your preferences.

Though of course, make sure to figure it out for yourself as well.

I personally own a Duck DK9008 Shine II with Brown Keyswitches and red backlighting, and I love the thing :)
Have a look in my sig, I'v made a somewhat half-hearted attempt to document myself transitioning from a membrane to mechanical board. So you'l get a general idea of what its like to move between them.

I know. I just got a Logitech 710+ yesterday (which is fantastic by the way), but now I want to type on a cloud of boobs.

Seriously though... I picked up the Logitech 710+ and it's great. It uses cherry-brown switches. I like the tactile and audio feedback. Logitech has done a decent job dampening the sound of the cherry-browns though. And, although the only lighting option is white, the WADS cluster and arrow keys have separate lighting controls from the rest of the keyboard, so it's easy to set them apart and find them when your fingers lose position in the shooters. Lighting can go from laser-beam intensity to very dim.

It also has a push-button key that lets you disable the windows key at any time. You'll appreciate this when you try to crouch after getting shot at and hit the Windows key instead of ctrl ~= death in BF3. It also has volume roller-control and full numeric keypad for times when you're not just gaming. It's seriously heavy duty and not that large. It has 6 G-keys that can be programmed, but I'll most likely never use them because I have a 20-button G600 mouse and because they are located outside the standard keyboard border. The keyboard has 26-key rollover and no ghosting (since all keys but the M-keys and media keys are mechanical).

That is a nice feature, but all the others, and actually, well, that one too, are somewhat moot if you're willing to pick up some basic programming in an hour. Autohotkey will turn your numberpad into a macro pad that changes depending on the active focus, can disable or reprogram the caps lock key, and will turn print screen, scroll lock, and pause into great media buttons. :p
