Hi, i need some suggestion from the pro here, i am planning to get a mechanical keyboard, budget below RM500 or lesser, i would prefer RGB keyboard, and also with audio visualizer would be great. Which brand is better?

for starter, you should at least go to a shop with demonstration units, and check out the different cherry mx switches first. common ones are linear red, tactile brown and clicky blue. (there are more, e.g. black, speed, silent, etc.) experience first-hand is more practical than listening to us suggesting something that you might not even like.

i see you already have a choice in mind, with dedicated media key support and all. only few models have such dedicated features. you should just go ahead and get it. since corsair also offers replacement key cap sets, there is no need to worry about their not-so-durable stock abs caps.

my recommendation is stick to red switch, unless you like the blue switch noisy clicky feel.
