Would you recommend me a IBM Model M or a Cherry MX keyboard, for a FPS Gamer?
Or something else? Money is not an issue.
inb4 personal preference: I've never used any of those keyboards so I just go with your preference

For fps get a cherry. I would go with either brown, red or black.

I prefer Cherry blues over IBM model M. Lighter switch.
