you dont NEED a gaming keyboard... You NEED a mechanical keyboard ;)
I game on a blackwidow ultimate, and a CM storm quickfire. I like the quickfire more than my blackwidow in most cases, except that its not backlit.
I'm a university student too, so the mech keys definitely help typing.
Mech keys can be tactile, linear, responsive feedback, or dead silent. I like blues and browns personally.
Blues are clicky and tactile, while browns are tactile and silent.
With mech keys you can do double/triple presses MUCH easier than on a membrane board. I find that it generally improves my speed overall. When i am on my laptop with its crappy chicklet keys, I find my fingers are more fatigued than when im typing on my over keyboards.
hope this helps :)
