Reddit mentions of Ducky Shine 5 RGB LED Backlit Blue Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard

thanks, would you recommend this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BI8U5MA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478154529&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX280_SY350_QL65&keywords=ducky+keyboard&dpPl=1&dpID=413nNPHaULL&ref=plSrch

Ducky Shine 5 with blues is a good shot for you.

Blue switches are loud and clicky, brown are not clicky but there's still a tactile bump, red and black are linear so no bump or click and just smooth all the way down.

There's a few reasons why Corsair boards aren't very recommended around here, but it pretty much all boils down to being able to get much better keyboards for similar prices or cheaper (both because Corsair cut some corners and because they went with some weird design choices that don't help it at all).

OK, that's a lot of money. You're going to get just everything in the world in that price. Keyboard is here, but you might be able to find it cheaper. Keyboards and mice are ludicrously personal - I've put in my preferences, but yours may (will) vary widely. Everything here is ludicrously overkill: motherboard has SLI support, just in case, GPU is top-end, CPU is a beast, monitor is excellent, SSD is very fast, hard drives are huge, fast and reliable, PSU is top-end, with plenty of power for future upgrades / overclocking, CPU cooler is very powerful, there's ludicrous amounts of RAM. General black theme throughout. Wireless adaptor and optical drive included: remove them if you don't need them. Case is huge for ease of building and extension capability - you might prefer a smaller one. I've gone for the full version of Windows 10 rather than the OEM version (only difference is that it's easier to move between systems and you can ring Microsoft support about more things (don't though, they're pretty much useless about most things)), swap to OEM version if you don't want that. It's the Home edition, because you probably don't need anything from the Pro version - swap that if I'm wrong with my guess. You might also prefer to go for a cheaper monitor (or make some downgrades elsewhere) and get two monitors.

Brand new ducky is 150 yo

https://www.amazon.ca/Ducky-Backlit-Cherry-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01BI8U5MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479005477&sr=8-1&keywords=ducky+shine+5

I decided to get BLUE cherry mx ducky shine 5. Amazon canada has best price compared to mechanicalkeyboards.com since I live in canada, it has 10-14 shipping days ( need new keyboard asap)

Do you think the amazon one is trustworthy? I've never bought a peripherals online so I'm skeptical. It is right keyboard name but it only has 1 rating and it's only 2 stars. I don't want a fake one and not be able to refund.

Thanks guys

Especially because they're clearly marking up the keyboard a ton by selling it separately like that. Around $170 can get you a top of the line mechanical RGB backlit keyboard.

Depends on what youre looking at. you can go from $30 for a cheap one, to 150 for a Ducky or DAS keyboard.

I personally have the Logitech G710+ and love it. You could go to the 610 series and lose the optional function keys (and save about $60) for a solid mid-price point.
$30ish option

Ducky shine $150

Logitech 610 series MX reds, $90

Look into the Masterkeys Pro L and Ducky Shine 5. There's probably some less pricy options out there as well, those are just two off the top of my head.

Here are some good (in my opinion, others may recommend others/not these) starter boards that are generally well received around here, complete with Amazon links to actually buy them (complete versions). For key caps, you're going to want to look to the more boutique sites like Massdrop or PimpMyKeyboard .
