Peripherals New Keyboard

Just had my Logitech G15 keyboard die, (Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!) after many years of use.

Just wanted some advice on a replacement. What people are using and how they rate them.

Want to spend no more than £70 - £80 but would prefer to spend less.

Any suggestions.

 

The Microsoft SideWinder X4 is sleek, sexy and very practical. I am very happy i chose it and i would recommend you get the same unless you want something flashing like a Christmas tree.

Just get the same.
That is my dream keyboard...

 

Only place i've seen them is ebay. Dont think you can get them new from a retailer anymore.

 

I love my sidewinder X6

Very awesome and only £35

Ok it doesn't have a flashy LCD but I find I hardly use them. I have tried various different keyboards...including a lot of the saitek keyboards, have to say I very much like this. The keys feel very nice, has a very warm excellent red backlight and plenty of macro buttons, plus has multimedia hot keys.

If you want speed and longevity get a mechanical Keyboard like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0046EDI...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0046EDIHS

66 pounds.

 

Mechanicals are a good way to go, and there are some in your price range. If the Black Widow interests you I recommend the 'stealth' edition instead as it has many technical improvements.

 

I guess having had a G15 you want another keyboard with all the extra macro buttons, lights etc. I had a G11 which broke a few weeks ago.

But just incase you want a keyboard that simply works with no extra crap - I got the 6GV2 from
Steelseries. Mechanical keyboard and absolutely amazing to use. But a lil on the expensive
side (considering it doesn't have all the extra crap).
I'm not sure where does it for the cheapest at the moment. http://fnatic.com/shop/categories/keyboards/
used to be cheapest, but none in stock and the price is higher now than what I paid.
I got it for £50.

 

If your crazy good typist then get this:

(look at the Ultimate version)

 

If only that had media controls

 

My typing is not that ultimate!!

 

might get one of those for work, nobody would try and facebook rape me then!

 

Had alook at the Stealth version on razers website. Anyone tell me why the system requirements for a mouse include 75mb hdd space!

Ok know its probably profiling software but it made me chuckle.

 

Thanks guys. Decided to go with the Razer Black Widow.
