I'll make a partial endorsement/partial disagreement here: I'll tell you to stay away from the RGB variant of the keyboard and just get the regular Corsair K70. Similar specifications overall, just without the fancy RGB LUX stuff. I've heard nightmare stories from various users about how quickly the keyboard started to misfire from various people that play osu!mania, and when I asked them their model, they pointed to the RGB version of that keyboard.

I use the regular K70 with Cherry MX browns, and have had great success with them. But of course, your mileage may vary. You can't go wrong in terms of price versus quality in my opinion.

A few people might also be able to vouch for the quality of the QPAD MK-50, but I've personally not had the chance to get a feel for that. The only other mechanical keyboard that I've owned was a Cooler Master Quickfire TK, with Cherry MX blues. Great for training because of their higher actuation, and also great for getting a handle on accuracy because of their general clickiness, though it might not be the most well-conceived option if you're living with others that will hear it — blues are quite loud.
