Code:
Get a mechanical keyboard with brown switches. That's all you'll ever need.
I have one of these, but a cheaper mech keyboard from steelseries, cm or corsair will do the same trick.

You can also buy a set of orings to fit underneath the keycaps to stop the clacking sound.
Looks nice might buy that too
Holy shit it looks nice, but the space bar is kinda big for me

Okay, about the lights on the keys for whomever is wondering what the use is to some people.. they are typically for gaming in the dark (I assume). Some people like to game in the dark, and lights on your keys helps you have your hands in the correct location.. idk what it is but can type and game without looking at the keyboard but when it's dark I all of a sudden have problems playing games via not being able to coordinate with the keys I'm pressing. Lights on the keys helps me.
Also, about wireless accessories... I greatly dislike because they have a latency that I notice.. (yeah weird right?) well I am picky and I will always go for a USB connected keyboard/mouse.

Code:
That's ugly, says nothing about key rollover, uses membranes looks to have shitty build quality. If you're gonna get a membrane keyboard why not just an X4.

I love my APEX (I got the colored illuminated one), macro keys work really well and are nicely placed (at least for me, I am male and my hands are averaged size, I use macros mainly for WoW).
The space-bar on the APEX is fucking godlike and the keyboard itself is really slim but still sturdy and rubberized enough to not move under heavy use.
I also really like the design, it is very simple and looks awesome with the different color settings.
That said, it is not a mechanical keyboard but I still really like it.
