Just as the title says, I need new wireless keyboard.

I game regularly, FPS mainly.

The placement of my PC means it must be wireless

Wouldn't mind media keys

Has to be 2.4Ghz, no RF or bluetooth, response time is noticeable.

I have a few in mind and I'm buying tonight

Maybe the Gigabyte GK-KM7580, something like that...in the UK BTW

Price range is £35 that includes postage, I just bought a second ssd so cash is tight and my keyboard starts going funny next day :(.
(missing letters and ghost pressing, reinstalled cleaned etc.....just had its day.)

my issue with wireless is its hit and miss with native support in other os and or bios and live boot programs.

With that said my fathers Logitec MK320 set is junk the receiver is right next to it and i notice lag when typing and the mouse has a crappy optical sensor that tracks poorly on most surfaces.
On the upside the battery's last forever.

The keyboard I am using right now is some cheap labtec I have had for ages, its flawless wirelessly, just on its way out.

I have only ever had issues with RF and bluetooth wireless devices.

But is it better, not alot on here use wireless so it seems, reviews hint at the gigabyte being the best bang for buck wireless board on the market.....the Logitech K350 has so-so reviews...tough call, I can live with mistypes and ghosting for a few days but I'm a high score player on orcs must die so need the reliability for gaming....
