So I'm thinking of buying the best 'bang for buck' keyboard for my budget. I know they really vary in prices and other features, but I want to know your opinion in which is the most practical for me to buy (I want to know if I really need those fancy keyboard features or am I just good with a simple one?). I'm not really a hardcore gamer, but I do game every now and then (CS GO, Dota 2, GTA). I also want to pick a keyboard which will be future proof; one that wouldn't make me regret buying as it can still compete with upcoming keyboards. Also, I'm not really an expert with cherry mx switches or any switches in particular, this will be my first Mech Keyboard if ever.

Here are my choices:

Ducky DK2108 Shine Zero Zone MX Blue
Corsair K70 RGB Mech Gaming Keyboard Black
Corsair K95 Mech Keyboard
Asus Strix Tactic PRO Mechanical
Razer BlackWidow Chroma
Razer Blackwidow Standard Stealth 2014 (No Backlight, silent keys)

I am an all out Razer user and I have recently switched from Razer Blackwidow to Razer Blackwidow Chroma Stealth. They are both the same in performance only primary difference was the lights and the silent keys. The lights are a matter of personal preference. However if you buy a standard Blackwidow the keys will feel a bit more 'responsive' than on the Stealth versions. I have noticed this from using both of them. I am not familiar with the other keyboards but I hope this helps a bit.

I've never used the special keys myself, so I don't purchase based on that. I have a Razer Blackwidow ultimate w/ mx Blues still in service. No complaints. Also have a Ducky Shine 3 w/ mx blues. It's a no frills keyboard(but lighted), but the space bar sticks on occasion. Currently using a DasKeyboard 4 Ultimate, basic but has a USB3 hub built in, also is MX browns. Also, the Corsair boards are pretty popular. I guess you just need to decide whether you want lighting or not and Macro leys, ect. For keys, I find the MX blacks to stiff, blues are nice for typing, but loud for gaming, and browns for me are perfect. I believe Razer uses their own designed switches now.
