As the title says... Which one is a better buy?

The K90 has Cherry MX Red switches.
The Trigger has MX Black switches.

Aesthetically, I think the K90 looks far better.

But I think the Trigger's Black switches would suit me better as they are not as noisy.

Or is there any other mechanical keyboard I should be looking at? My budget is a maximum of £100 and it must be backlit.

Anything from Razer is not an option... they are way too noisy! I do like the QPAD MK-85 but its friggin' expensive at just under £125.

I don't have any experience of mechanical keyboards hence why any feedback you guys give me would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing I've went on so far is what reviews I've read.

K90 all the way. Imo the Trigger is a tad too pricey, you only get 5 macro's with it but you have 3 banks of 18 macro's with the K90, so in total you can have 54 macro's. Also, the K90's build quality is amazing, and according to OC3D's review on the Trigger the K90's build quality is better. The software that comes with the K90 is seriously easy to use too, much better than the Trigger's software. Also, the Trigger only has 6 Key Rollover and the K90 has 20 Key Rollover.

Oh, btw the MX Black and Red's are the same apart from the fact that the reds take a bit less operating force to press. They're actually really quiet once you get used to them, at first my typing was loud, but once i'd got used to the characteristics of the key switches i can type and game on them while remaining relatively quiet. But prefered key switch types are all about preference, some people prefer MX Reds, other MX Browns, some MX Blacks etc...

Overall Trigger is good, but the K90 is better especially considering they're the same price roughly
