This is my first mech keyboard, im limited on budget and on whats available in local stores to these keyboards.

Gigabyte Aivia Osmium Gaming Keyboard (Cherry MX Red)

Both at same price. I lean towards the Osmium, it has more feaures and better looking, yet i see ppl recommend the QuickFire more even tho its kinda basic features.
Also if i would go for something cheaper non mech would CM Devestator bundle be good enough to be considered?

When you are looking at similar prices it boils down to personal preference. Personally, I prefer the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium over the others. If you do decide to get the CM Devestator, please consider the green. The QuickFire looks mediocre at best.

Please i need to make sure im making the right decision, After reading lot more reviews and feedbacks, Checking each product forums, The CM QFU and Trigger Z seem to have better feedbacks than the Gigabyte. Now i lean towards the Trigger Z alot more than the others

Anyone ever owned/used any of the 3 listed please give me your feedback.

I use an Aivia Osmium keyboard. I find very problems except the hideous breathing glow at the upper, extreme right. After some experimentation, I found the this hideous effect can be easily removed. Win7 use the 1.05 version Ghost. With Win10, use the 1.06 version of Ghost. I cannot confirm that 1.06 works with Win7 or that 1.05 works with Win 10.
