Reliable gaming keyboard recommendation

[CYB34]

My G15 v2 retired after 5 years and now I need a new, illuminated keyboard.

I've read dozens of previews and seen Youtube videos with almost every gaming keyboard on the market, but after reading actual user reviews on Amazon and Newegg, it seems they all have huge quality issues.

I have the budget to go Logitech G710+ or Corsair K70, but I don't trust them and I don't want to pay to test a product. I've read too many negative reviews on these 2 boards.

Can you recommend a durable and reliable illuminated keyboard? The price is really no issue, I just don't want it to fail like a cheap noname product.

Apparently, "mechanical" does not mean reliable or long lasting, especially with these new models, so I don't care if its mech or brane.

The Ducky Shine 3 might be what you are looking for.

+1 for the ducky shine 3. Have to say top 5 keyboards I have ever used.

I have a lot of friends that use the k70 and haven't had any problems and like the keyboard a lot.

Thanks guys.
It appears Ducky is very expensive in Europe, ~$200 from Germany, closest to me.

So I went for the K70 at $160 and got it today.

The red switches are not loud and I can type much faster than on my G15. It does feel like an improvement.

The curved, textured keys are a treat for gaming, they're easier and more comfortable to press. They do not affect my typing.
Also, the F keys at the top are bigger and closer to the numbers, making them easier to reach.

Lets see how long it lasts.

How long do you have your keyboards? Any issues?
+1 for Logitech G15 v2 for lasting that long. It took a damn beating.
