Backlit (Cherry MX Brown or Red- tenkeyless or not) keyboard!

[apav]

Hi guys, new to the forums, in the market for my first mechanical keyboard. They are expensive, so I don't mind buying them used if it means saving a lot.

I am looking to buy a keyboard like the defunct U9BL-S, Corsair K90 (before we knew it wasn't fully mechanical), Mionix Zibal 60, Razer BlackWidow Stealth Ultimate, Deck Legend, Ducky Shine, CM Trigger or any others similar to those.

Backlight and Cherry MX Red/Brown is a MUST!

I'm not sure if key rollover matters, but I know the K90 has 20KRO, so something similar to that would be nice.

Tenkeyless is a feature I would like to consider depending on the keyboard you are selling

Please post here if you are selling anything I have described or similar to! Thank you.

Buying used won't save you much money as mechanical keyboards don't really depreciate in value.
qtan has just got some ducky shines in.

Ah that is true, but maybe I will be able to find something here that is hard to come across. And I feel silly to ask this but who or what is Qtan?

He is a retailer in HK. here is his store. http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments
Here is the link to the duck shine. http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/mechanical-keyboard-ducky/new-ducky-shine-limited-stock-/lid=19244191
I ordered my kbc poker from him and it turned up on a couple of days.

Thanks for the reply! Now I know this must be a silly question but here it goes:

I can get the K90 for $124 shipped or the Ducky Shine for $148 shipped

I'm considering getting the Corsair K90 because it is cheaper, Cherry MX Red switches, has media and macro keys, usb hub, headphones/mic jack, and I think it looks nicer. And it has a wrist wrest too!!!

However, the Ducky Shine is a superb board from what I'm hearing. It will definitely beat Corsair in quality from what I've heard and that is quite a feat. Also, it is fully mechanical, unlike the K90(doesn't bother me though). Unfortunately, the one from Tiger Imports is brown only (I could get a red from Qtan, but that would be $180) and I'm not sure if brown would bother me since I am a gamer (and therefore want red). Wrist wrest costs extra though

This is a legitimately tough decision for me... what do you guys think?

If possible don't skimp on getting a keyboard. If you want the ducky shine just save up for a little more it is only $60 more that the k90.

Well I'm asking you based on what I said do you think I should get the Ducky Shine

The K90 wrist rest and keycaps are pretty tight...is this a relatively new keyboard? Never seen it before.

Yes it hasn't been released yet but will be soon. It has been getting a lot of heat lately due to a design decision:
