• Looking for a decent keyboard
    12 replies, posted
I'm replacing my old G11 which is breaking down and dusting up. I'll be buying the MX518 alongside. I don't care weather it's "gimmicky gamer shit", I want a quality keyboard. 60 to 100 dollar range. Pretty please? :3:
If you're really willing to spend so much on a keyboard (I can't see why, honestly, but it's your choice), then you could try [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126043]this one.[/url] It has 5/5 ratings, is on sale and has backlit keys.
G15 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126034[/url] Or the G110 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126087&Tpk=g110[/url]
[URL="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTMzNzU4MTY"]Withought bluetooth.[/URL] [URL="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?aid=AIC-WWW-NAUS-K2-BUYNOW-KEYBOARD"]With bluetooth.[/URL] It's an apple keyboard but it's not just for macs. I use it on macs and on linux. Not a great idea if you use windows though. Not sure why you would want to do that though...
see if you can find a Happy Hacking Lite keyboard. They're a bitch to find outside of Japan but pretty damn nice if you get your hands on one.
I don't see the need for Gaming Keyboards. They all do the same exact thing. Gaming keyboards are mostly wired and I hate wired, so I use this to game with my Razer Mamba: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823204016[/url] It's good.
G100, hands down.
If you want a good keyboard that's likely to last you a lifetime, you should go mechanical. They do produce a little bit extra noise (even the ones that are designed to be quieter), but with the right switches you won't notice a thing, and they're designed to last up to 50x longer than even the nicest rubber dome keyboards. In your price range, I seriously recommend an iRocks KR-6230. It's designed with Cherry MX Brown switches (which are quieter than the alternative cherries, and way quieter than the freight train that is the customizer), which are rated to 50,000,000 keystrokes. It's also designed to give you a full keypad while still reducing the footprint of the board, which allows you to place the keyboard closer to the middle without sacrificing mouse space. And if all of that wasn't enough, it's 6-key rollover, which means you'll never run into issues with pressing too many keys while gaming. [url]http://www.mwave.com/mwave/SKUSearch_v3.asp?px=FO&scriteria=BA31651[/url] I don't normally recommend mwave, but they've got it ~$10 cheaper than Newegg at the moment, so it's a better deal. This thing is built like a tank, and is considered by most to be the best mechanical keyboard to LAN with out there. No gaming gimmicky nonsense here, just a quality, solid keyboard. Take a close look at the keyboard layout before purchase though, as they did make quite a few changes to the layout to make it as small as it is. [editline]03:17AM[/editline] Apparently mwave is showing the wrong pictures, as the ones they're shipping don't have any other languages on them. Check the pictures on newegg for a closer look.

I was thinking of the Microsoft Reclusa Keyboard, anyone used one before?

[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Haxxer;23051271]I was thinking of the Microsoft Reclusa Keyboard, anyone used one before?[/QUOTE] Reclusas are alright, but you really don't get enough to warrant the $40 price tag. If you're going towards that end, just just a lite-on or a rosewill keyboard. In your OP, you said you wanted quality. Take a look at the Happy Hacking Lite 2 or the iRocks KR-6230. Best suggestions of the thread so far.

Just because I can cut up a bunch of cardboard and spray-paint it to look like an Audi A8 doesn't mean it'll do just as well in the 1/4 mile.
Get a waterproof keyboard since you want something with quality
