Mechanical Keyboards

[KingEojj]

id really like some feedback from owners of and or people whom typed on various mechanical keyboards, ones with diffrent switches i.e. red, blue, black, brown. ive watched youtube vids, done tons of research but im still way up in the air about the feel of the switches and which i would like the best.

purpose: gaming, gaming, gaming.

as far as what brands/makes ive been looking into. been thinking about grabbing a ducky or filco off ebay/amazon. those mostly come with black/browns. however except for them being of extremely high quality and hands down the best mechanical keyboards you can buy, they offer no backlighting and no usb hubs, something im looking for.

so far the mionix ziabal keyboard has the best to offer:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823580001
the price rivals that of the filco and ducky boards and includes 2 usb 2.0 hubs, audio i/o and backlighting. however im not sure im entirely sold on the black switches, which is why im making this thread.

so if you're an owner of a mech keyboard or having a lot of experience with typing on them, please leave me some feedback. thanks.

i use an old dell at work. not sure the model but it looks like this:

it's really nice to type on, but it loses connection to the pc just about once per day and i have to unplug it an plug it back in. it's annoying, but i prefer it to the plasticky feel of modern keyboards.
