Inspired by Thomas' thread, I thought i'd ask here for opinions on replacing my keyboard.
What I have:
Logitech G110 gaming keyboard (click for image)
Logitech Performance MX Mouse
Razer eXactMat mousepad
The problem is that since i had a new table built, the keyboard feels... shit, it's fine for gaming, but there are problems, they keys are too tall, everytime I type i make more mistakes than i've ever made, and I type pretty fast, this keyboard doesnt seem to let me do that. It was fine before because I was using the laptop mainly for browsing and this for gaming, but now im using this all the time for browsing, so i need both comfortable keys and gaming ergonomics.
What I want from the new keyboard:
1]Full size layout, not a fan of scrunched keyboards or the ones where the end and up arrow have no space between them, or ones with a lack of numpad
2] Flatter/lower keys, ones that aren't so tall
3] Preferably not clicky, i see you there Cherry MX Blue fans!
4] At least basic media controls, play pause, next, mute.
5] No real need for macro/gaming keys/anything gamer specific. I play battlefield type games, RTS and 3rd person RPGs like D3 and Torchlight, Im not an MMO player so i dont NEED any specialty stuff, If it comes with it i dont mind.
6] Backlit if possible
7] Non ghosting, many keyboards apparently because they are non gamer specific have this issue of having common key sets blocked, like mentioned below
I was looking at the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, it looks very nice but consistent complaints about ghosting keys and the w-shift-spacebar combination disabled, which is important, it worked on older versions but not on the latest revision... nice work Logitech.
It looks very nice and my perfect keyboard would be that with the ghosting problems fixed, so something similar
Halp me FG Gamers.
Closest i could find on my own that matched most of what I want is the MS Sidewinder X4, will look into it on reliability. The Razer Lycosa also looks promising, matches most of what i want
