Good backlit/illuminated keyboard

[Hard.Work]

Hey guys , I wanted to purchase a new keyboard that is back lit / illuminated seeing that I'm playing cod4 in the dark alot more now, but the area for my keyboard and mouse is kinda cramped so im looking for a good normal sized/compact keyboard that I can use at for gaming at night thanks, im using a logitech mx1000 combo right now thanks

I like my Razer Lycosa, it works great in a dark room. The only issue with it is that in a moderately lit to bright room, it is hard to see the keys. And it is kinda pricy.

what do they mean by flat key pad, like laptop type keys?

Yes, slim/flat keyboards are like laptop keyboards.

how is the brightness for the Razer Lycosa the cnet review said it was dim in the dark but, then again i tend to not really agree with them on alot of their reviews

I have a saitek. It's nothing special, but I'm happy with it after about 3 months. I bought it for $25.

I find it quite difficult to see in decently bright rooms, which makes it useless for me.

OP: If you are in darkness all the time, the Lycosa works great and looks nice, but turn the light on and youre blind.

I've been running a Logitech G-15 keyboard. I have the version 1 one with the blue illumination. Actually, I have two of them. I've never used the newer version 2 one with the red illumination.




:cool:

I have a Logitech G-11 and I love it. It feels great and you can see the keys in any lighting. It also has a lot more programmable keys the G-15, which is more useable for me than a stupid LCD screen I am never going to look at. (I have a monitor for that!) :D

Just my 2 cents.

I use a Saitek Eclipse also w/ red backlighting. Its isn't all that great. The backlighting consistency is poor. And the keys them self have a lot of play and just doesn't type all that well.

Only thing about the g11 it's too big for my desk thinking about g15 but dont like the red

+1 - the Saitek is also pretty good (have both).

I've had mixed luck with my Saitek Eclipse II: they last about 6 months and start to fail. Best one I have tried is the Deck Legend: very stout keyboard, excellent action, well lit, keys will not wear off. EXPENSIVE

[Hard.Work]

Wow the deck legend looks crazy but really hard to spend 150 on just a keyboard damn wish it was cheaper

Razer Lycosa is great

The keyboard feel is amazing too.

I have a Saitek Eclipse II. It has three colours for the backlight (blue, red, cyan) and it's the best typing / feel keyboard i ever used. Switched from a Logitech G15.

[Hard.Work]

[Hard.Work]

tried out the statik eclipse 2 today didnt like the way the keys felt , felt kinda cheap
