[SOLVED] Keyboard advice for gaming/coding

[jarraramjad]

hey, i am interested in suggestions for a keyboard that you guys think would be a good fit for doing the following things.

1- Writing code
2- Playing League of legends and fortnite.

I read some online reviews and liked the corsair k95 RGB platinum, but i am not sure if this is the right fight for the job. it has cherry MX speed switches which i think are a good fit but i would love to hear from you guys.
Also i am not very familiar with marketplace ecosystem in pakistan, i looked at czone and some other random shops which gave me an average price of 22K~, which is reasonable enough but i am not sure if they have official warranties.

I would appreciate your knowledge on this subject thanks !

I've used the K70 Rapidfire with Cherry MX Speed Switches. These switches are highly sensitive. Even a small push actuated the key. This was the only reason I sold it. You're better off with Cherry MX Brown or Red switches.

CORSAIR has 3 official distributors in Pakistan according to their website (https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/where-to-buy).. so warranty wont be a problem

Using a G710+ From Logitech with Cherry MX Brown switches.
Never have I felt so satisfied spending 10K on a damned keyboard.

Brown for life.

I have a similar use case and bought HyperX Alloy with cherry mx Red switches, it is a very very nice keyboard, and about the switches I can say is if you can find a Cherry MX Brown keyboard, it will be much "fuller" experience, there is nothing wrong with cherry MX Red, nothing at all but it is just engineered this way to give 0 feedback which people prefer while gaming but not while typing. If you are not a accurate typist like me, then you will make a lot of typos.
Cherry MX Black is a ditto of Red but it is a heavy switch.
Here should be your switch preference based on your use case:
If noise is an issue: Cherry MX Brown > Black > Red
If noise is not an issue then you can also consider Blue switches.

PS Never buy Speed switches.
