I would say go with the corsair k70. ( i have it)
Its a good quality keyboard. My friend had the logitech g 910, but it has some strange switches and key's. I just don't like typing on it.
But the razer is also a good chocie. And i guarantee that you won't use the little screen ( only for settings i guess ) on the logitech g19s.

You have multiple choices with the k70. You can get brown, red and blue.

( just something to add on your anwser :) )

Which cherry MX key is the best? I was thinking red
 


There is no "best". It's entirely up to preference, I personally hate any and all mechanical keys. I prefer rubber.
You really should find a way to test different keys before you buy a keyboard, especially in that price range.

Is there is a microcenter or other computer store within driving distance of you? I know microcenter has mechancial keyboard displays that offer the different keys like brown/red/blue etc
But if that's not an option, any computer store will let you open up the box and test it out

Try Amazon. Make sure to only get the merchandise that is Prime eligible. The free 2 day shipping cuts down the cost by at least 10 dollars, and you get your product in no time. If you're not a prime member, don't fret because I've found a way to get around that. Although tedious, it's an effective way of not paying for prime while still receiving the benefits. Create a new email, (or use an email that you haven't used for Amazon already), create a new Amazon account, sign up for the 30 day prime membership trial. As soon as you get the trial, cancel it so that it doesn't charge you 30 days later. Rinse and repeat.

As for the "best switch", it's all a matter of preference. Generally Red switches are recommended for gaming, but not so much typing. It requires very little actuation force and has no tactile feedback, meaning you wont feel a little bump as the key goes down. It's pretty easy to make typos but you can get used to it. Blue switches are usually meant for typing, and can be really loud. They are really satisfying to type with and make that clicky sound you hear in offices all the time. Not the best choice if you have room mates or people who would find that annoying late into the night. Brown switches are sort of a hybrid between gaming and typing. They aren't as loud as Blues, but still offer the tactile feedback that reds don't have, allowing you to type better as well as game. In conclusion, it doesn't really matter what kind of switches you get because they can all be used for gaming/typing, it's just nit-picky stuff.
