After searching for keyboards for the last week I have decided to go all out and get a mechanical. I can't decide, however, which one. I will be doing a lot of typing and a good bit of gaming as well.
Things I value:
Look (I'd like it to look more modern than a standard black qwerty, plus I tend to value backlighting)
Sound (I don't want to make my roommates want to kill me)
Audio (If possible, I'd like it to come with an audio jack)
Size (I don't want it to be too big... I don't have too much room on my desk. Plus I never use the numpad)
Cheap (I won't be spending more than $100)
Feel (I have no experience with mechanical boards so I don't really know how to judge this)
Boards I've been looking at:
The Cooler Master Storm Quickfire Rapid
The Steel Series 6GV2
The Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
Oh, and on the cheap (is their any disadvantage to one of these or these?)
Also, I have to admit, the Razer Nostromo is quite tempting.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
