What's the best keyboard to get for $40 or less?

[jwalker]

Like it says. I'm shopping for some new computer accessories, and I want to find a good new gaming keyboard on a $40 budget. Macro keys would be a plus. Any recommendations, CAGers?

Suck it up and get a G15. They rule.

This seems like a pretty good deal

or you could get the keyboard alone

or an open box version of the keyboard for a bit cheaper

My G15 was $37 after rebate. Recommended.

Saitek Eclipse/II or MS Digital Media Pro 3000 are my go to keyboards.

What's so special about the G15? Never heard of it

It has an lcd display in it...

What does the lcd display show?

Lets you do various stuff, pretty cool, because you can integrate it with several popular games.(stats for the game, ventrillo stuff, system information)
There's lots of uses, but its intended for gaming.
