Both are great. I'd take the Strafe but the red LEDs may look out of place in your set-up if you have a different colour scheme. The blue LEDs on the QuickFire TK will look fine in a set-up with black/white/blue colour scheme, so it's more likely to 'fit in'. However, if you have a red colour scheme or the red won't clash with your set-up, or you don't care about the red LEDs clashing, then get the Strafe.

I got the strafe but I would like one with more of a click when I press the keys so what would you recommend ? It doesn't have to be 100 but max would be £130

I don't know what you mean by "more of a click"? I suggested the Strafe with MX Blues, MX Blues are pretty much the loudest, 'clickiest' switch.

Shit, sorry, my bad. No idea why I recommended something in the complete wrong currency.

Cherry MX Blue;

MX Brown suggestions because those Das Keyboard's are nice, and the MasterKeys Pro S is RGB, if that interests you. MX Blues are my preference, MX Browns are my 2nd choice. MX Browns aren't clicky like MX Blues though.

It's alright just wondering which out of the mx blues is the best out of that list?

Up to you really. I love my K70. Strafe is quite similar to the K70, but made with cheaper materials. Strafe is plastic, K70 is aircraft grade aluminium.

You can see my review of the K70 here;

as well as Deano's review of the Strafe.
