This is for gaming, budget is under $150. I need full keyboard, backlighting, brown keys (quiet typing), good quality/lasting, don't NEED macro keys, but I don't mind them. I want something that will last. Currently using Logitech G110, I've gotten used to layout and keys are ok I guess. Thanks for your help.
Need opinions on quality and experience. Deciding between these for now, let me know if you have any others in mind.

Can only comment on the g710 as i personally own one and its the only mechanical keyboard i've spent a lot of time with.
I've had mine for a year and 5months and its worked perfectly fine so far.
I've always been a big fan of logitech gear, upgraded from an original (blue backlit) g15 keyboard.

2 minor problems i have with g710:
If you use the raised feet, they dont have rubber on them, i find the keyboard moving around on my table alot
my table is also quite slippery to begin with so that might be my problem.

The way the backlight and keys are set up the 2nd row of characters on the keys don't light up very well.

Other then that it's a solid keyboard, the o-rings on each key is a nice touch too.
Oh and that orange piece of plastic around the g keys really annoys me lol.

I have both ducky shine 3 and max nighthawk x8. Both are good keyboards with their own set of features. I will lean more towards max nighthawk because it gives you more features such as braided cable, audio/mic jack, USB hub and capable of programmable macros with optional downloadable software from their official web site.

I would not recommend Logitech G710+, I to had to returned mine because of failed LED lighting in just 1 week. FYI, Logitech key cap is also prone to breaking.

I wanted to like the G710+, but people keep telling me the keyboard has weak keys and LED troubles.
