I can sell you mine: 8 years old, dirty as hell, multiple bacteria colonies underneath, some sticky letters, ...all in all...just fine ;D

How much would you give me ?

I have the Razer Tarantula. Had it since it came out. I really love it. The keys are like laptop keys, very ergonomic. It has 10 individual macro keys, (5 on each side). These light up blue and can be replaced with different keys. You get these supplied, there are things like ammo, nade, knife, gun etc. You can personalise each key to your liking, so you can have key simply type a word at a press of a key (handy for passwords). Or you can assign them to an exe so you press one key and cod4 opens and connects you to your favourite server. It has inbuilt memory so you can store 10 profiles on it i think, so you can set it up how you like it, take it round to a friends and don't need to install anything as it's carried on the keyboard itself.

You can have unlimited profiles stored on the computer though. Down each side are media keys, for Sleep mode, your home page, keys for zooming and rotating images. On the right side are your music keys, play, stop, next, back, shuffle, volume and mute. It is quite large and the layout is a little different to other keyboards but after a week or two you get used to it.

The main keys are not backlighted but that's due to each key having it's own individual circuitary so there simply isn't room. It is still quite expensive even though it's been out a while, but you get what you pay for. If mine broke i would buy another.


Also, it has this docking station at the middle top of the keyboard. It seems kinda a gimmick but you can get add-ons for it, like a blue led strip light to see the keys at night or a webcam aswell. It has two USB ports on the back of it and jacks for headphone and mic too.

Worth a look imo

I've got the older model Logitech G15 and it kicks ass. It's got 18 macro keys which can have three different macros each on the left side and the ability to turn the damn Windows key off so you don't accidentally hit it while gaming and be sent to your desktop. The media controls and LCD screen are cool but unfortunately not alot of games take advantage of it. Even so the default CPU and RAM meter can come in handy. The only other problem i see with it is that the keyboard is quite large and it takes up alot of space on a desk. The new G15 is smaller so it might not be as big a problem.

As for the Everglide, I like the aluminum and backlighting but it looks too small. All the keys are cramped together but if you don't have alot of space on your desk and you do LAN parties and need something portable then you could probably overlook that.

I have had my Saitek Eclipse for almost 2 years..It is just a simple gaming keyboard. I think it was 60-70$$ ....worth its worth its weight in gold. I have spilled beer and rum drinks on it...It is not the best out there, but it works and can handle some punishment.. I have also purchased a gaming key pad for binds and shit...and this seems to work well for me..




edit...looks like the price has come down a bit...here is a link..
