Smooth budget for computer accessories and peripherals

I have been interested in keyboards for almost 6 years but have never taken this hobby seriously enough. I would end up buying different keyboards to switch between switch types. My favorite keyboard is the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate with Razer Yellow (or Kailh Yellow) switches. Fast forward two days: I bought a Womier/Gamakay K87 keyboard with a hot-swappable board and decided on a Gateron Yellow after hearing the hype. My main focus when buying was faster * delivery time. When I checked, delivery was same day - other sites had slower delivery times - and I placed my order. * In my case, same day delivery turned into a 3 day delivery time. I'm only writing this review because of the quality of the product. I'm writing this review of these switches as a little test and I can safely say that they come very close to the Razer switches, offering smooth and light keystrokes. I bought a pack of 110 just in case and unfortunately I found one switch that didn't work but was easily replaced with about 30 additional switches. A nice little surprise was when I opened the box of switches and tossed in a free "craftsman" blank! I say artisan but it's really just a snazzy looking printed design which I believe is double ABS, not see through. Still, a nice little bonus, especially since it's not mentioned or advertised anywhere on this site. Great experience so far, update in a few months if I remember!

Pros
