Best Keyboard?

Robbo · 6 Apr 2011 at 11:22

Ahoy,

My Logitech G19 has packed up, it restarts itself every 10 minutes and I have to reconnect it via USB for it to work again, absolute pain in the arse.

A Google would suggest this is a common problem so I've contacted Logitech and hopefully they will replace it, we'll see.

So, I want a new one. I dont want another G19 (I'd sell the replacement) because -

I never use the G-Keys
The LCD is rubbish and just annoys me

I have no specific requirements, as long as it looks nice and is good at all round things (gaming, etc).

So, discounting the G19, any suggestions folks?

Roccat Avro's pretty nice, I've had it for a while now and really like it. Not much in the way of backlights, macro keys and bells and whistles, but its really nice to type on, feels solid and is nice and compact.

Emprex 6310u. Absolutely love them, and at that price they're very very hard to beat

The BlackWidow Ultimate Elite looks quite nice... hmm

I liked the Filco Majestouch keyboard that I bought for work so much that I bought a second one for home. It's a pleasure to type on and it's built to last.

I was looking at this, how're they for gaming? I heard they miss keys quite often.

I've got a micro$oft sidewinder x6 which is pretty nice. I recommended it to another forum member who bought and enjoyed it.

Ordered a BlackWidow Ultimate Elite.

Daylight robbery but then again, so was the G19!
