http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F9Y7C8/sr=1-23/qid=1151 914597/ref=sr_1_23/102-2635720-0466527?ie=UTF8&s=electro nics

those are the 2 I like.

Mabe you can link me to a better one?

-I dont want wireless
-Must have lit up keys (I like to play games with the lights off)
-I dont need all the keys above the F keys but I dont realy care if there there.
-The keys above the up, down, left, right keys must be like on those 2 I dont want it like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009KAQ1/sr=1-2/qid=11519 14597/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-2635720-0466527?ie=UTF8&s=electro nics

I have the keys up there set in a spiecal way.

End=Use
Page down=Reload
Delete=Crouch

such as that that makes it way easier for me to play!

So can you help me find the pirfect illuminated keyboard! Are you up tho the challange, I am picky when it comes to gamin stuff like this.

Never heard of that brand, so I'm not sure if they're good or not.

looking at the reviews by people is usually helpful, except that those two don't have any reviews.

I am not sure about those, but i can tell you, do NOT get the Saitek Eclipse board. I have one, and the keys are wearing off. In just over 2 months, I can no longer read A or S. Not that it really matters, but it does look tacky.

My friends logitech G15 gamer board doesnt seem to have the same issue.

Not only is it iluminecant, it can change how the key's look during different applications. Eg: You want a standard keyboard that looks and feels good this is you're best bet. You want a keyboard that iluminates you're area, this is you're best bet. You want a keyboard that makes playing games easy, this is you're best bet.

you can program each key to display something different when an application is run. Each key is its own, individual display that can display anything you want it to.

This isnt out yet but will be at the end of the year hopefully.

You do realize that is going to be about a $300 keyboard right?

I own that keyboard, I love that keyboard, and I only payed $69.99 for it. It lights up really nice in the dark so you can play your games witht he lights off, the shape of it is neat, the keys are soft and quiet too. I highly reccommend this keyboard. Big Ups

Decent keyboard's Become comfortable keyboards. the price is for the software and all the OLED's in each key. Still, im getting it no matter how much it costs, plus, its about £200 (note the pound sign) which is easy for me to get and the way everyone else talks about money, shouldent be a prob.

If you're spending $300 on a keyboard I think you need to reevaluate your life.

EDIT: Idjit, you should try using the WASD keys rather than the arrow keys. It'll be much easier once you get used to it because WASD have a lot more keys a lot closer to them than the arrow keys do. For example, when I crouch I only have to move my index finger a tiny bit from D to C.

Yeah, I agree. WASD is further away and more comfortable in the long run. I know they are hard to get used to though.

I also agree. I hate being so scrunched over to the right side of my keyboard so close to my mouse. When I used to use the arrow keys, I would find my body turned to the right facing away from my computer, and my left wrist would be bent at an awkward angle. Was very uncomfortable.

I moved all the keys over on my laptop keyboard since my Fn key is where my ctrl key should be so my default is now esdf. Smile

My vote goes for the Saitek Eclipse. I'm glad to hear you like it Dead Dave. I'm planning on buying one for my new computer from the New Computer Research post.

I have the Logisys funky funk. It looks great, and feels comfortable, BUT!
The tolerance between the bore in the casting and the keys is to great. So they tend to bind if you don't hit the center of the key. which is impossible on the strangely shaped enter key. Plus I still can't see the letters, and the damn modifier for the function keys pisses me off. If I'm trying to boot into safe mode or save and exit the BIOS it may or may not work without using the modifier key.
I don't like it, but I didn't think I would.
