Searching for pc keyboard, like macbook pro have.

Hi guys.
I'm searching for pc keyboard, which will feels like macbook pro one.
I like how keys presses there, like short keystrokes etc.
If you tried it - you should understand me.

If you know something similair - let me know.
For now i choose Logitech Illuminated,

but i can't try it, cause will order it from internet shop.
Is this a right choice?

I have the keyboard myself and am quite pleased with the keys on it. It's a very smooth type. I sometime don't even feel that I'm typing on a keyboard due to the design of the keyboard.

I say it would be a good buy for you.

I have that keyboard. I like it a lot. Best keyboard I've used so far. I just wished they made a custom keyboard cover for it. Like the ones they have for laptops.

I hate it when crap gets stuck in between the keys. And I'm not sure if we can pull the keys out to clean it.

If you like the way the MacBook keyboard feels, then go with the Apple USB keyboard. The two feel identical to me.

i had the keyboard your are mentioning, I returned the next day because of the keys and moved to the Logitech G15. I'll never go back to using a standard Kb again.

The Logitech illum was just awkard to me, had flat keys and for FPS it felt unnatural.. to me... I think the G15 is a well balanced KB and worth the extra $25 plus the LCD shows me what map im on, my ping, the ip, rank, score etc when Im playing Bc2

but as for for the logi illum, it is a classy looking keyboard and is well built + the illumintaed blue keys looks sweet, i just wouldnt reccomend anyone to buy it for gaming if they read this thread but as for a mac-like kb its probbaly the best choice

my logitech Dinovo edge looks similar to the one you posted in the first post, but its likely out of your budget

Could these be possible candidates?

Enermax Aurora Wireless Keyboard with Trackball:

Enermax Aurora Premium Keyboard:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...products_id=69

I'm recommending because it looks almost similar and are very affordable.
