Hi there

I have been upgrading my pc gaming recently by buying a whole new pc, monitor, headset, mouse mat and mouse.
I now only need a new keyboard and I have took suggestions from friends and the ones I want are these two:

1. SS 6gv2
2. CMS Quickfire TK

They both have red switches which is what my friends recommend.
I sort of want the Steelseries one because then it will match everything else (headset, mouse and mouse mat) but I don't really know... apparently the CM Storm one is better?
The CM Storm is 30 dollars more and I don't really care about it's backlight.

I handled both keyboards in the store and have to say that they are both solid and well built. The CM I saw, though, had brown switches so I passed on it as I just didn't care for their feel, but had the store carried them with different switches I would've bought it without hesitation. The Steelseries was, in my opinion, just a little less solidly built.
