Ever since I've used a mechanical keyboard, My current one just feels cheap. I have been looking into buying with a max budget of $150.
Some things I prefer to have
-backlit- I have a razer orochi 2013, with a green led on the scroll wheel. If i cannot find a green backlit keyboard, I can just turn off the LED on the mouse and get any color that looks cool.
-Switch wise, not entirely sure. I have used the cherry mx blues, but I need this keyboard for half typing half gaming. I was looking at the reds, but then the browns popped up and I do not know of a place to test both.
Things it has to have
-Mac compatible. I am using a macbook pro, so it needs to work with it.
-under $150
Heres some of the keyboards I have been looking at.

I could care less for all the special lighting features the Shine 3 has.

I think the orange looks pretty cool.

This one would probably be the one I'd go with, but it is out of stock.
Any help is much appreciated!

Browns are kinda tactile but have no clicky noise. If you 50/50 then go for browns.
Are you sure you want a keyboard for your macbook? because that makes the distance between you and the laptop pretty big. I tried it once and it didn't really work for me.
Ducky would probably be best i guess.

Update.
I went to Best Buy and got to test out the Razer black widow which has the cherry mx blue. Felt pretty good, just did not want the click. I would also prefer to not go any lighter, as the I believe anything lighter may feel mushy to me. Looking at a list, it seems I may want the clear switches, but if i cannot find any, does it sound like brown may suit my needs?
Thanks for the help so far!
