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.

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
