As a casual gamer I do like my self a nice keyboard.

After renovation of the bathroom my trusty Corsair k70 rgb had a bit to much dust for dinner. Now some keys are not working.

To replace the faulty unit I have bought a Logitech G915 lightspeed keyboard.

I don't game but I'm a programmer so I have a lot of hardware and a lot of keyboards. My favorites are IBM Model Ms but they're hard to find now and also make a lot of noise and can be a bit slow, but they're very accurate. I have a couple of Filcos with Cherry Browns but the key caps suck for the price. I have a half dozen or more Hyper X Alloy FPS, some with Cherry Browns and some with Blues. They're a good daily driver keyboard. All metal base, no gimmicks, solid as hell. Mine take a serious pounding. I think they would not be very good for gaming since these have only red lighting. It is good for typing in the dark but not much else.

I jumped into mechanical keyboards a couple years ago, and felt like the market of "gamer" keyboards were just too expensive for what you were getting. I also didn't really like the shining that ends up happening on the keycaps. I ended up getting a Ducky keyboard from mechanicalkeyboards.com. It was only $100, and it's heavy and built like a truck. The keycaps are supposedly a more rugged plastic that should resist the inevitable shining with a lot of use. I've been so pleased with the purchase that I now consider myself a Ducky shill.

The other thing I really liked about it is that there are four standard keys above the numpad that are for media functions. Really useful!

Since you already have a replacement, you may want to consider taking apart your k70. Had soda spilled in a k70, took it apart and soaked the k70 circuit board for a few days in water. All is working well again. 3 keys were displaying weird behavior but there was power and other keys worked. The water seems to have diluted the soda sugar away.

I recently bought a Ducky too (Mecha Mini with Brown switches). There have been some firmware issues with the new model though which are affecting my board (preventing moving of the function key to a different location).

I recently got the G615 to be able to switch between two devices, and luv it! Very nice mechanical keyboard. I like Dell stock keyboards. I used a Dell one prior, and really like typical Dell keyboard. I like that keys are large, and when I switched over to the 615, I missed a lot of keys due to smaller size, but got used to it.

Only downside to G615 is the weight. It's on the heavy side to move around.

This an awesome keyboard made by Dell. And it's super cheap. I'm exactly like this guy. I got really attached to this keyboard. It works really well.

This keyboard is really well design. The keys are large, and it just easy to type on.

Assuming you don't need it on the right side, I've been really happy with my left handed Bloody B945 (i'm right handed), with it's numpad on the left side to have more buttons for keybinds/macros. It has a great wrist wrest, some of the lowest latency out there because the switches are optical, is available in different tactility options (linear is butter smooth) and the only downside imo is no media keys.
