What is a good machanical keyboard for about £60 / $100?

I'm looking for a solid mechanical keyboard for about £60-70 that will do well in the games I play, any suggestions? I play fps, open world adventure games.

I really like (and own) the k70 from Corsair. They have a new version that has full RGB spectrum colors, but you can find the older red only backlight version for a lot less. Best Buy has it on clearance for a great price. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-k70-mechanical-keyboard-black/9089085.p?id=1218978327181

I don't need or use macros with my keyboards so it was perfect for me. I also like that the body is aluminum and that the volume control is a knob instead of a button. It also has a braided cable and a usb 3.0 port.

That looks like a really good offer but as I live in the UK, I don't have Bestbuy and other available shops (e.g Amazon.co.uk, scan.co.uk) don't sell them anymore, at least not for a good price.

Ah, my bad. If you don't wan't/need a 10 key you can always go with the K65, Same keyboard as the 70 just minus the 10 key.

That looks really good for the money! My only problem is having cherry mx reds that from videos are very noisy. With a noise cancelling headset do you think this will be okay? Otherwise I will buy it.

My girlfriend has browns, and since they have a step in them I find them to be louder. I prefer the reds because as you press it down it has the same force the whole way through. They key itself is audible, but it doesn't have a loud "click" like some of the other colors. I couldn't tell which is the absolute quietest, though it's definitely quieter than the blues or browns. Overall, whatever switch you like comes down to preference. I think they're all noisier than a membrane.

Depending on your headset and how much gain the mic has, it might pick up your keyboard noise. I can say that I've never heard my keyboard over my mic at home. If it's picking up I suppose you could always lower the mic volume a bit.

Hope that helps!
