Yeah, keyboard market is complicated. When you start looking at mechanical keyboards, you enter yet another realm of keyboard types, since mechanical keyboard keys have a range of styles (switch types with different actuation forces and travel). But they are noisy. Mechanical keyboard users think that their particular keyboard is quiet, but they are delusional. Not a big deal if no one else will be in the room while they play/type. And they are better (subjectively I guess). But the main thing is to make sure he's not currently using a mechanical keyboard, because I've heard that people who use them never want to switch back.
The short of it is, there's nothing wrong with the keyboard you linked. Personally, I'm using the Logitech G510 but it may be out of your price range. I like the onboard display to monitor GPU temps, usage, memory usage, frame rate, etc.

My mechanical keyboard is loud as hell.... that being said, i will not go back to a standard for gaming purposes.
You're buying it for someone else, the only way to be sure is to ask him "hey yo, I'm gonna buy you a keyboard for crimmas, what do you want?"

MX blacks are quiet. The only reason mine are loud is because they're 1/2" away from my snowball
