Hey everyone so my first ever mechanical keyboard cam in the mail today! Its the Corsair K70 with Cherry MX Blue switches, it also has red LED back lighting! I'm typing on it right now and I love it so far! If any of you are wondering my setup includes the Corsair K70, Razer Deathadder 2013, and the Steelseries QcK mousepad. If you guys have any tips for me for my new keyboard or even my setup, please drop a comment down below!

Welcome to GH!
That's a pretty similar setup to what I ran for a while. Good stuff.
I recommend looking into o-ring mods to make your keyboard a little quieter. There are plenty of resources right here on GH, they're just a search away.

What's a quieter, precious?
I probably don't have anything to contribute about improving the keyboard. What I will say is grats on entering the club. It rarely stops with just 1. Good job on switch selection. Gotta love that tactility and noise. Were you able to try out different switches to come to your conclusion before you bought?

Stay out of the KeyCaps section. Remember these words....
Hrmm..lots of people getting blues.

If that's the case, i would say stay out of GH! The people here are extremely nice and helpful but the boards they have are pure poison! Every time i see them pictures, it makes me feel like using up all my savings to just get all the different boards! Always wanted to try the o-ring mod though like what stache mentioned but worried that it'll make my browns feel mushy.

Sweet :)
My first modern mech has MX blue switches and red LEDs, although it is a Ducky Shine. It is still going strong!

My friend has browns with O-rings. Feels terrible IMO. No tactility and the reduced travel is unpleasant. I heard it said here once that browns with o-rings is the best way of simulating a 5 dollar rubber dome, which isn't far from the truth.
