Blue Keys aren't meant for gamers generally despite the link above.

The reason is that blue keys are very loud. They are optimized for people who do a lot of typing where people aren't bothered by noise.

You either want BROWN (common) or RED (more for MMO users).

*Now it depends a lot on what features you want. Lights? Can it be a "tenkeyless" to save on size for desk space?

The Logitech G710 PLUS has a lot of good feedback (BROWN Cherry MX keys): http://gaming.logitech.com/en-ca/product/g710plus-mecha...

I have a Cooler Master quick-fire Stealth (tenkeyless). It's not a "gaming" keyboard but it uses the same keys (BROWN), is excellent quality, and quite frankly I have no use for any fancy keys or backlights as I never look at the keyboard anyway, and find lights distracting.

If you don't need a BACKLIGHT, and it can be "tenkeyless" then this is a great keyboard:

A larger one with a backlight is the K70: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JIVZUJI/ref=s9_si...

There are others, but I look strongly at the CUSTOMER FEEDBACK average score.

Make sure the model you choose has the correct KEYS for what you want. You may want to do more research on that but my advice is BROWN in general, or RED if more for MMO's.

If you do a lot of TYPING as well as gaming I'd stick with BROWN. As said, not a fan of BLUE due to the very loud clicky noise.

I want to get the Cherry Mx Blue because of the noise, and I would like backlit keyboard just because im usually playing in the dark and sometimes I slip my finger off a key and have trouble finding it again. (l0l)
