Looking to get a mechanical keyboard for up to $80 dollars. The less spent, the better. I want this keyboard for FPS gaming first and foremost, and the general recommendation is cherry red/black for FPS gaming. I like the tenkeyless design, but it's not a deal-breaker. I don't care much for led lights, macros, and usb inputs. NKRO is very important. I can use USB and PS/2.
This will be my first mechanical keyboard. My current one is a rosewill $10 "gaming" keyboard. It's a very basic keyboard, and I need something better.
My current choices are.
Cooler master quickfire pro - Cherry red Switches - $69 with $10 rebate.

Cooler master quickfire rapid - Cherry blue - $64 (there is a cherry red version for $80 on newegg)

Or to get a ducky keyboard, though I don't know the differences between the alps switches offhand - $65 shipped and up

I would like to hear any recommendations in a similar price range as well.
