    Hey guys!

    Right I'm after a new wired keyboard. I'm fed up of my wireless one running out of batteries and it feels too slow.

    I'm not bothered about price as long as I can get what I want. It should have these features;

    • Wired
    • Media Keys along the right hand side (I like to change music with my thumb whilst using my mouse)
    • Illuminated keys would be advantageous but not essential
    • Aesthetics, I'd like it to at least look good, not some beige old school look.

    Any choices lads?

    :sigh:

    I have never seen this before. Ignoring this the Microsoft Sidewinder X4 is a great choice! :p

    Yeah that's my issue. My last 2 keyboards have had them there and I've got used to it now.

    Are the multimedia keys on this in the right place or do they need to be vertical on the right?

    Link.

    If you can get past the location of the media keys I'd give +1 to the Sidewinder X4 recommendation!

    *Sigh*

    Seems no one makes a decent keyboard for me.

    Liking the idea of the Sidewinder though. Looks better than the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate.

    I cant see if these are the correct keys.

    Same for this model.

    I found a high res picture of this keyboard here.

    They have the buttons in the right place but now they're either wireless or a tad cheap. Thanks for your help guys.
