The Best Gaming Keyboard...

[ReD.SkY]

I need a keyboard, a keyboard with a backlight...
What in your opinion is the best?

The Most i can afford is the G15... so please dont reccomend anything more expensive than that.

Guidelines:
-Cheaper or same price than G15
-Backlight (preferably LED)
-No Saitek Eclipse (i dont like it)

Thanks Ahead of time...

[afireinside]

G15 and the eclipse are the only backlit keyboards that aren't cheap crap. Get the eclipse. It felt weird switching from my logitech but it's a lot more solid after you get used to it.

[gr8golf]

Another vote for the Eclipse - cheaper too.

[OCme]

The Saitek Eclipse is a great keyboard... Check this link out!

[ReD.SkY]

The G15 felt cheap or what?

i dont like the eclipse as the keys are spread out...

have you use both the G15 and the eclipse?

is the eclipse better because the keys have a better feel?

[J-Mag]

My question is why do people need backlights on their keyboard?

When I am gaming I tend to look at my monitor...

[phelan1777]

I bought an Eclipse for 25$ :-P
Well paid 75 for Keyboard and a Razor Copperhead, selling the moust for 50, so yeah it was a good deal

[Think]

G15 does not feel cheap. I have one and it's very well build. Much better quality then the zboard I had. I don't know about the other products mentioned though.

[punisher69]

I Bought a logitech g15 keyboard but the paint is wearing off the keys.

That's the clearest i could get the pic's. Their from a crappy webcam, but you get the idea.

[BrokenWall]

logitech is offering free replacements for your paint, all the new G15s dont have that paint issue. just call logitech and tell them and they will send you a new one

[ReD.SkY]

well... great...

now i still cant make up my mind...

[ReD.SkY]

ok, now my question is.. how do the keys feel on the G15?

[dnottis]

I've reviewed the Saitek and have the G15 as well.

The G15 has some killer stuff like this...mods for the LCD for Fraps and Speefan..

[ReD.SkY]

well, that LCD is friggin awesome

what is fraps?

if the keys feel good, i will get G15 as it will match my G5 that i ordered yesterday

[FragTek]

I have both sitting on my desk right now and I prefer the G15 by a longshot due to all of the nifty features it has.

G15 FTW.

[ReD.SkY]

hehe thanks Frag, you were my deciding vote, the G15 is my future keyboard...

thanks all for your input

[phelan1777]

HAHAHA I have a IBM keyboard that works pretty well, and its quiet. I have CLICK CLICK keys.

[vengance_01]

HAHAHA I have a IBM keyboard that works pretty well, and its quiet. I have CLICK CLICK keys. LOL those things are built like a tank but load as hell.

[afireinside]

I bought an Eclipse for 25$ :-P
Well paid 75 for Keyboard and a Razor Copperhead, selling the moust for 50, so yeah it was a good deal

Do you already have a CH? Why sell the best mouse there is :confused:

[neoman]

prolly G15 for best gaming keyboard :) but to me its a bit expensive for a keyboard. At least in where i live.

[phelan1777]

LOL those things are built like a tank but load as hell.


I miss typed I meant to say "I don't have the CLICK CLICK" :-P

[phelan1777]

Do you already have a CH? Why sell the best mouse there is :confused:


Yes I had the Razor CH, but it was not for me, I sold it as part of a deal for an opty 170, sorry :-P

where can i get this deal?

[Plywood99]

Best Gaming keyboard: Deck
Best everyday keyboard: Deck
Best illuminated keyboard: Deck

Cost an arm and a leg, but without a doubt the best keyboard I've owned. Been through well over a dozen keyboards looking for just the right feel and quality. Deck is the best.

Cheapest deck is $99.00 not including shipping. But you do indeed get what you pay for...

I really want the deck keyboard but its too expensive. deck looks really nice.

Finally getting released by the looks of it.

[ReD.SkY]

just recaived my G15... it is freaking amazingly awesome :D

The lights and they feel of the keys are perfect... the LCD RAWKS!

its got clocks... song names... :drool:


i love it.

[IdaGno]

G15, Saitek, Deck - all sound good to me. However, I am a pig! Any of these late model high-tech whizbangers dishwashing machine proof?

TIA.

[WoD]

The last one (http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/) is nice but extemly expensive... I would go with a multimedia keyboard or even a normal one ;) For gaming the mouse is a lot more important!

[physics_geek]

What is so good about deck keyboards? They don't seem to be of high quality, and they are damn expensive.

[BrokenWall]

the G15 is the best, cause of the mods for it.


My favorite plugin is for Miranda IM (Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ) messaging program that allows you to send and recieve im messages though the LCD screen.

and while in game i can type a message to a friend, great for those games where you want to chat with your friends but dont want to alt-tab all day.

i use it alot in WOW

[krille]

I have a G15 too. While idea is interesting... I'm not that amazed.

[Negative Design]

The G15 appears to be the best Kb out there untill that OLED Kb drops,the saitek is way too ugly for me...

[masterofpuppets]

I just use an old PS/2 generic keyboard. Flashy keyboard are a placebo effect :D

[Danger30Q]

Radioshack.com has a $30 mail-in rebate! Shipping is also free. Newegg.com has over 450+ user reviews and it has just under a perfect 5-star rating. I just order the Saitek and if I don't like it, I'll sell it on eBay and make money.

[cool_dude]

Dad bought a G15 last week, they're pretty cool :)

LCD is a sweet touch, can show temps, ammo - health etc etc... pretty sweet :) Backlight was mainly what he wanted it for though :)

[illmatik]

The lebedev keyboard definately looks nice. I'd love to have one to be able to program in all of the pro tools and nuendo shortcut keys. From the looks of it though, it doesnt look like the keys would have a satisfying feel or tactile click to it though which I would imagine would not be great for gaming. Guess I'll have to wait and see when they become readily available.

[kommando]

I just use an old PS/2 generic keyboard. Flashy keyboard are a placebo effect :D
Amen, good old generic keyboards. I really don't see the point on spending heaps of cash on a shiny awesome keyboard. In the end your probably gonna spill coke and defiently get food all over (well I do anyway). Great thing about my keyboard it feels very comfortable for me..

[Negative Design]

I still use my Dell black PS/2 kb...its not bad but its a pain to play games or type in the dark :(.An illuminated Kb would be PERFECT helping me find those keys while playin Cs lol.

[masterofpuppets]

My keyboard is comfortable, even though it's full of crumbs. I don't see a need for shiny keyboards. Plus, on most expensive keyboards, the way the enter key and backspace are laid out (if you get what I'm at) is conveniently placed so I keep hitting it while trying to press shift. Rather annoying. Nothing beats an old generic keyboard for comfort. Beige colour is a plus too :D

[ben805]

compusa has $30 rebate for the Eclipse keyboard so it's only $19 now....that's dirt cheap for a backlit gaming keyboard so you can get a couple for spare, when the paint wear out just chuck it and open a new one :lol: :D

as for the G15....can you sent MBM to the LCD to monitor all your temperatures and voltages? :D :D

[Negative Design]

This is the keyboard you guys should be looking at http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/ it would fit perfectly here at Xs ;)

[chunkylover77]

I wish Logitech would make the G15 in a natural keyboard also. I love natural keyboards for typing.

[Plywood99]

What is so good about deck keyboards? They don't seem to be of high quality, and they are damn expensive.


Deck boards are built like a tank. The owner company build keyboards for heavy duty usage, such as those found in police cruisers and industrial areas where a reliable and well built long lasting keyboard are paramount.

Also Decks don't use the cheap rubber membrane key switches. They are built with Cherry keyswitches.

http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm

This is what makes the feel of a quality keyboard. Each key is its own individual switch, unlike the rubber membrane keyboards where all the switches are together. Also each switch has its own LED to light it up.

So what you pay for in a deck keyboard is quality. Shame they are not available in local stores. Once you type on a keyboard with quality keyswitches it is very hard to go back to cheap rubber membrane boards...

how do you type back while in the game? you can switch from computer moniter to keyboard lcd? Thats a nice feature. do you know if it works for windows x64.

[Zerolus]

Any keyboard you're comfortable with and doesn't have issues pressing multiple keys at the same time.

[4Qman]

I have the Zboard and ive had enough of not being able to type while in games.

Well i can type but its hard with the new set in place. Gona get a normall Keyboard the Eclipse i think, Best as if u use a normall layout u can play good anywhere.:cool:

[oshox]

Threadjack! I'm looking for a new keyboard as well, since my old wireless logitech is finally wearing out. I do mostly gaming, but I'm not looking for a keyboard that's flashy or backlit, and I could care less about programmable function buttons.
What I'm looking for is good tactile response. I'd love to be able to afford the Das Keyboard II or the Raptor K1, but I need to keep this under $50.
I can get a good deal on the Cherry G81 3000, or their Cymotion line. Are there any other mechanical keyswitch keyboards in the same price range?

[dum]

cyber snipa for fps games or a logitech g15

[WesM63]

G15 or G11 if you don't want the fancy LCD.

I've had the G15 since they where first released, wouldn't trade it for any other Keyboard.

[OCme]

I love my Deck Legend, Ice. Probably the last keyboard I'll ever need!

[afireinside]

Deck is just to expensive. Been looking at the steelkeys 6g and the razer but they're just a bit expensive for me to justify. The fatality keyboard looks ok to. Can't decide.

[FragTek]

The one thing that really turns me on about the Deck boards is that they have individual LED's for each and every key. I have an Eclipse II right now and it's a great board but same as the first Eclipse I had the backlight coverage is pretty poor since it only uses a few LED's to light the entire key set. I'm heavily considering the upgrade to a Deck.

[Khaotic]

If it's for gaming,
and you're going to be holding on to it a WHILE - as in you don't plan on buying another keyboard for a long time
Logitech G15. I like them so much, I have one for my stay at home system, and one for my LAN rig.
They need a little more space than your typical keyboard, and the flip-up LCD does mean it can pretty much never go on an under-the-desk shelf type thing - but none of that bothers me. I set my present desk up to accomodate that keyboard.
G15 - FTW

[FragTek]

I had the G15 for awhile and it was a great keyboard but definately not a keyboard I felt like I couldn't live without. There are many great keyboard options right now. The LCD didn't really appeal to me much after a while either and I had it fully modded for some pretty cool stuff. I found myself using my CF bay display more than the keyboards display.

[One_Hertz]

I love my Deck Legend, Ice. Probably the last keyboard I'll ever need!

same here :toast:

edit: wrong smiley

[Soulburner]

The G15 isn't much more than an oversized keyboard with macro buttons right now. That LCD screen has a lot of potential but people really need to start writing programs for it.

[wrxsean05]

Im dumb for buying the eclipse, it's rice, you don't need a gaming specific keyboard really, Just a solid, full keyboard, I prefure the Dell PS/2 keyboards! They have great key stroke distance and are quite. On the eclipse, typing is hella loud, and the transparent key tops isn't the best. I can type the same in the dark with a normal keyboard vs. the eclipse.

Hmm.. i was thinking about the eclipse because i game in the dark a lot, but after this thread i'm not so sure about it. The G15 i'm not sure if the lcd will fit between the desk and the tray:confused: I'll stick to my $9 Logitech for now :D

[p0tter]

G15 ftw, its on sale @ newegg for around $61.

[vowkilmer]

I currently own a Steelkeys 6G. It is definately a good sturdy keyboard and very responsive.

I also own Logitech Elite's and Creative's Fatal1ty keyboard.

Overall the Steelkeys 6G is my favorite. It is a little pricey, but it doesnt
try to do anything fancy. It is strictly a keyboard for gamers.

[D_o_S]

Anyone have a Das Keyboard?

[phelan1777]

I have a black IBM keyboard that I ganked from an old job, quite and well works great.

[Miwo]

IBM Model M. Have not come across a solid, durable keyboard with the clickyness feel like the Model M.

G15 and the likes just add more overhead to the CPU. There was even a bug which caused it to make games like FEAR crawl. Unless you are one of the types who is attracted by shiny colors and useless displays, just about any keyboard that allows you to press 4+ keystroke buttons at the same time will suffice. Crappy keyboards will flip out if you try a funky combination like W+D+SHIFT+SPACE , which could equate to "slowly walking forward while strafing to the right, then jumping"

[Kobalt]

I had two logitech elites in a row, but they didnt last long enough. After about 8months the keys would become very sticky and I would make a lot of typing errors. I think I really prefer a laptop style keyboard though. The keys on the eclipse are a little stiff and too far apart for my tastes.

[Celcius]

I've been using a MS Internet Keyboard for the past 3-4 years, but I think it's time for something new. I considered the G11 (I don't need a keyboard screen), but I really want a cyborg/terra/chameleon green alienware keyboard. The problem is they don't have any more (or at least that's what they say). Does anyone know of a way to acquire one of these?

edit: got one

[Soulburner]

Haven't seen any mention of this yet...

[Viper_0000]

If you are willing to dish out the cash, get the Logitech G15, I love mine, the keys on the left are really handy for WoW. But I use the numpad for CS. There's also a G15 without the LCD, I think it's called the G10.

The Steelpad keyboard looks real nice and I plan on getting one eventually.

If you wunna be cheap, get the original Logitech Elite Keyboard if you can find one, it's super leet <3. The one with the spindal volume control, not the new :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty one with the buttons for volume control, it's not as super leet.

[jnick]

I own 2 G15's and absolutely love them. I'd say search for a good deal on the G15 and pull the trigger.

Also if you don't need the LCD screen, you could get the G11. It's the G15 minus the LCD = Cheaper :D.

Soulburner - Only because it's a LOT more expensive than the G15 :). As it relates to the G15, I use the LCD screen quite a bit! I mainly use the Performance Monitor, Media Display, BF2142 LCD, FRAPS and Ventrilo. On the contrary, I haven't used one macro key yet :eek:.

Meh. Can't win them all :).

[hollywood]

Saitek Eclipse red for me. Had it for almost a year and it's very solid with good key lighting. Not too bright yet not too dim.

The keys are very solid in action and the wrist-rest really does help reduce strain. Hell...I even wrote my thesis on this keyboard.

Plus if you have all black stuff it's very understated and matches quite well without all the gimmicky crap on the logitechs, etc.

If you do go with the Eclipse you'll be more than pleased if you're simply looking for a stylish, functional, durable and comfortable keyboard.

[gundamit]

Saitek Eclipse red for me. Had it for almost a year and it's very solid with good key lighting.Hmmm ... reconditioned ones direct from Saitek for $30 (http://saitekusa.stores.yahoo.net/ecilkere.html) but I'm hoping CompUSA will put new ones on sale for $20 again.

[Entsafter]

G15 is for makro cheaters...
It should be restriced in games like wow, counterstrike,.... it just sucks -> hit a button and do things which normally need a lot more time...I only exists because a few gamers can't control their character -> they need addons and makros to play, because they're to dum or to slow...

[Shpoon]

I use an ergo keyboard ;)

It's comfy, and I never find that a keyboard changes much for me.

Hah, how is this so? You can macro things ingame for CSS anyways... just takes some skill with Dev. Console.

Im using a standard Zboard from http://www.ideazon.com it's been a nice board for me, no problems at all.

or you can use binds in CS..

[Nicksterr]

I game semi-professionally, and here's my opinion on keyboards.

Best to worst.
1. Saitek Eclipse (have and love it)
2. Steelkeys (don't have but have played on it and is very nice)
3. Standard IBM keyboard (have but switched to Saitek Eclipse)
4. Logitech G-15 (have, the display is nice, but the keys are too soft and too unresponsive. Gamers need the fastest response they can get. Oh yeah, and the paint peels off.)

[noTe]

Does the Saitek Eclipse have tabs in the rear of the keyboard to tilt it up?

[Nicksterr]

Does the Saitek Eclipse have tabs in the rear of the keyboard to tilt it up?

Sure does.

[XSAlliN]

About that Saitek Eclipse, do the buttons Clap? - I need a silent keyboard, something that makes no or very little sound (8 Db) when I wright.

There is a newer model Saitek Eclipse II (http://techgage.com/article/saitek_eclipse_ii_illuminated_keyboard/1)

eh about the paint problem ya could try to RMA it?
breka of the 2 feet and cut of the USB cable and send em in and you get a new board.

The newer G15s dont have the paint problem anymore.

[LordofDoom]

I've had my G15 for almost a year and its paint is fine. My lcd screen on it however has stuff burnt into it, but it's still fine. I love it nevertheless. For a silent keyboard, the Zboard Merc my brother just got is really nice and silent.

[justin_c]

G15 FTW! Great keyboard. Plus the LCD.
Echovoice CS:S plugin shows realtime stats, then there's FRAPS and G15Netspeed.
Tactile feedback is good, but not as springy as my beige 101-key.
The keys worn out are W, A, S, D and C. Quite worn out actually. can't really tell between a C and a O. But apparently this has been fixed in the newer revisions of the keyboard. I plan on RMA'ing this keyboard after my RMA'ed G7 arrives.

Edit: The G keys are useless; they're too far away from WASD. I binded the keys to buyscripts, but its too slow since it EMULATES keys (press 1, wait a quarter of a second, press 2, wait a second), not directly interacts with the program. Instead I bind to F1-F12.

[hopper]

the razer was on my christmas list,,,, whats they claim make it special is you can push more buttions down at the same time or something than other keyboards.... on razers site its in blog somewhere


the deck looks nice also...hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Sneaky]

I love my logitech g15 - the little volume, play/stop, and next/previous track buttons kick ass for when I'm in-game - otherwise I really don't do much with the LCD, and have yet to bother with the "G" macro keys


edit: wow why did I type razer instead of logitech... I swear I'm retarded sometimes... I guess I was typing Razer because I have a copperhead to go with the keyboard *shrug*

[lawrywild]

I'm using some Trust cheapo POS, keyboard doesn't matter for gaming, mouse does, so I use G5 :)

Plus my keyboard has lots of multimedia keys which are really useful..

[Solarfall]

i have z-board gaming keyboard and i just love it, it takes a bit of getting used to.

[Zardokk]

Just got a Saitek Eclipse for Christmas and it's really fantastic. It's really sturdy, layed out well, and just feels good. It isn't silent, but it's not extremely loud (I'd say it makes the same sound as any other normal keyboard). The LED backlight really doesn't do anything, though...not sure why everything is getting LEDs thrown on it nowadays.

[FragTek]

Yup, my one and only complaint with the Eclipse series is the lackluster backlighting, they could have done a far better job. Other than that, I can't find anything else that I don't like about the board.

[Solarfall]

Actually how meny of you gues really need the backlights on your keyboard.
i mean i find the monitor light to be more that enough for me to be able to see while typing in the dark room.

imo its just unnecessary keyboard PORN.

Thank you for this review as I was thinking of getting 1. and 4. I have tried the nostromo and other types of gaming keypads & they were too POOFY SLOW.

I use the microsoft natural multimedia keyboard. I rarely if ever use or need the "specialty" type keys, it is just comfy to type with Yet the spacebar sounds & feels clunky.

Since I game with the NUMPAD keys always in most games & just bind the keys to it I don't have to worry of using the clunky space bar to "jump". Plus if I need extra keys to bind guns or turrets I use home-page dwn or the rest of the keyboard.

Macro binding is a pain/useless really especially if you reinstall os/frequently testing. I tried to use it for UT or xmp when I had a left hand injuries from biking/ball and couldn't use my middle finger or ring finger at different times but still HAD to play despite the pain lol. The nostromo & other gaming keypads/boards were so slow and actually were uncomfortable to push repeatedly. My patience with it would last a few days...then it would be returned. I don't need more finger aerobics for gaming.

[»X$«êdên]

Yup, my one and only complaint with the Eclipse series is the lackluster backlighting, they could have done a far better job. Other than that, I can't find anything else that I don't like about the board.

OT- <----That case in your avatar is Sweet looking...any other photos???

[InTheFlow]

Those of you who have bought Deck keyboards...where is the best place to buy them? Do they have a ergonomic version?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just found out that there are no natural ones and it looks like buying directly from Deck is the best option since their prices are the same as performance pcs.

sexy looking piece of hardware!

[HungryForHertz]

I love my G15 and I'm a solid ICTF player (where movement and quick reaction is critical). The keybaord backlighting is great (and not just cause it goes with the Razer headphones) and I find the keystroke to be just fine.
I don't see why the LCD size is a problem, it does fold down?

[Mortal]

Saitek Eclipse for me. I haven't used a keyboard that I've loved nearly as much as I love this one. :D

I think I'll buy a second one just incase anything happens to this one, considering I'm not too fond of the look of their new Eclipse II 'board.

[Kingcarcas]

I got my Saitek Eclipse II a few weeks ago along with my 7950gt and i love them both:banana:

[bestmancajun]

G15 is awesome... BF2142 1.10 patch supports the LCD, cool stats and animations. I run MB5 and can toggle between 4 pages of temps, memory and cpu usage. It's so helpfull monitoring your hardware while running SLI applications. I purchased it from NCIX for 60$CAN 6 months ago :).

[lowfat]

i did some searching through the thread, but couldn't find any one who recommended a Wolf King Timberwolf. That is an actual gaming keyboard. All the other keyboards are just normal keyboard with fancy lights and LCDs :rolleyes: .
