Clearly, you didn't read that he had a budget...Those are way over the budget, even at used prices-CoolerMaster Storm Trigger (The Cherry MX Red version)
-CoolerMaster Quickfire Pro
-SteelSeries 6Gv2

-Corsair K60. I have one myself, but I got it for 80 dollars. I don't recommend buying it, because most stores sell it for 120 dollars. It's not worth 120.
I'd go with the Storm Trigger. Hands down.

I have the storm trigger and it is a great keyboard. First of of is mechanical (duh) but it has macro's, it has a backlight, it has an armrest, OTF macro recording and all that fancy stuff.

Quickfire rapid is a great tenkeyless ,but the laser etching disagrees with my body chemistry apparently so keys are fading crazy fast.
