FooArm · Oct 5, 2008

well i have a budget of 0 -40 bucks for a new keyboard

i am into gaming but but i have no idea about keyboards , i defiantly want a wired keyboard

any which u guys might recommend :confused:

The Logitech G11 is like $60. Got mine at Target. It lights up, has programmable keys, and is wired.

I have both the g15 revision one and two and i'd say get the one you like the most

Saitek Eclipse!! best budget board out there, and saying that, all Saitek keyboards are damn good.

kyle2020 · Oct 5, 2008

Saitek eclipse FTW! i had a G15 (rev.1) prior to my eclipse and i must say this is far better.

I'll take just about any basic keyboard when it comes to gaming, then again i mostly play first person shooters so keyboards don't mean that much to me.

I agree. I have the g15 v1 and it is excellent. The macros are great for MMOs and the blue lights on the keys are great for gaming at night. Although I am not sure if it is within the topic creator's budget, unless there has been a significant price drop since I purchase mine.

any good ones though for my price range because i am not rich

Logitech UltraX Premium =) Awesome to write with, as key travel is so little and doesn't miss keys in games either. For the price I highly doubt there is anything better.

Video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awUB_f5AHa8&fmt=18

This seems identical to mine based on the picture (missing the premium text and that might be because of different quick buttons).
edit: seems the non premium model is missing volume up/down keys.

It's $50 but worth it.

Polaris573 · Oct 6, 2008

OCZ Elixer for $30 if you need something cheaper. I'm quite please with it.

i love my g15v2 but the paint is starting to wear off pretty bad and looks kinda odd. i've had it for about a year though.

I've bought a couple things from there BST threads. I'm actually considering it, would be a great upgrade to my MS wireless setup.

I saw you have another thread talking about a new system build and you're strapped for cash. Take about 10 bucks out of your keyboard budget and get two matching sticks of 2x2GB DDR2 to stay compatible and then get a 20 dollar keyboard / mouse combo if you want, and the rest for a better PSU. That'd be the safest route to go, as you want a good PSU and RAM before a fancy keyboard.

JC316 · Oct 7, 2008

Saitek Eclipse. I love mine. Backlit keys, quiet operation and durable. Cheap too.
