if you already have a a decent keyboard and dont mind using it for typing, get a razer nostromo if not go for the razer black widow ultimate

Preference on backlighting, keyswitch Cherry MX Color, tenkeyless, etc.?
What are you looking for in your ideal keyboard?

If you are not familiar with Cherry MX switches, I would suggest to get a sampler tester kit from Max Keyboard

Cherry mx blue - firmer tactile and clicky noise @50g actuation force
Cherry mx brown - softer tactile, no click noise @45g actuation force
Cherry mx red - linear, go straight down and up without any tactile bump @ 45g actuation force
Cherry mx black - linear, linear, go straight down and up without any tactile bump @ 60g actuation force
