I accidentally spilled some water on my old Zboard keyboard and now it's doing some weird things (pushing enter now refreshes the page, w now brings up firefox help, o now types "o[" and a now types "a4" there are other problems too) . So I figure it's time for a new keyboard, these are my options:


Saitek Eclipse II
RAZER Tarantula Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard
or
Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3200 Laser combo

Not really sure if I need a wireless keyboard, I do love my wireless mouse, but I just can't see myself really needing a wireless keyboard. Plus I've only seen the keyboard and mouse combo and I don't really need a mouse yet (although I worried my current one might bite the dust soon since I use it so much).

As for the other ones, I definately want a good backlight, I'm not sure if I'd use any of extra keys and stuff most of these seem to come with, but it would be nice to at least have them.

Prices on all these seem to be about the same 60-70$ so that really isnt a factor. I'm kind of leaning towards the G15 since it seems to have the most features, but I also like the look of the Saitek and I'm still not 100% sure whether I need wireless or not. Razer looks nice too but I'd have to buy some add-on I can't even find to make it back-lit.

Based on these things which keyboard would you guys recomend?
 
I have the Logitech G15 and love it. It's got some amazing response time, feels good, and comes with a ton of customizable options and features. The screen can sometimes come across as a gimmick and I don't always use it (I wish the volume controls were located elsewhere), but it's still an excellent keyboard overall.

G15 ...problem solved....til they release a color screen version of it :p
 
[quote name='jimbodan']G15 it is then. Checked out more reviews and I agree.[/QUOTE]


the only thing is, despite being around for over a year, support is lackluster at best :(
