I'm looking for a new keyboard for my computer. I'm not looking for anything super fancy. Do you guys have any recommendations or read any good reviews for keyboards? Or should I just get another $19.99 keyboard from CompUSA?

Thanks!

Ive an Eclipse and i love it, good backlight, definatley the best buy. PC Gamers Keyboard is okay i didnt try the side keypad thing, other than that the PC keyboard is terrible in the dark.

I have the eclipse as well and have to say it is by far the best keyboard I've had. I can now turn the lights off in my office and not worry about missing the '9' key when I eject from a heli in POE. I don't think it has any special keys. If it does, I'm certainly not 1337 enough to use them.

never buy bluetooth or any other wireless... there is always a delay, no matter how good...

I've spilt one to many beers into my keyboard to keep replacing $$$ ones :rockon:

only thing for me is i need to put a teather on my mouse or somthing, i've turfed it off my desk so many times.

The Saitek are nice pretty keyboards to show off, I use the gaming one myself just cuz I like the purdy blue color.

Though, I think you'd find a Logitech media keyboard more useful. Logitech's high quality too, so you'll get your bang for buck.

I looked at the Logitech Media KB. It is really flimsy feeling. So I ended up with the Eclipse KB. NICE! No extra functionality. The light is nice in a dark room though. key presses feels good and the KB felt solid.

Thanks for the advice fellas!
