Hi All,

Looking for some advice I am after a cheap keyboard for gaming and have back lit keys if possible. It would need to be from amazon.co.uk as I have £25 voucher. (wow what a cheapskate)  

I was wondering if any of you have delved in the bargain department recently.

Thanks

Dean

It's not exactly cheap but it's a no frills mechanical keyboard that I have owned for several years and can recommend highly. At £70 including your voucher it's a bargain. Of course you can get non mechanical keyboards much cheaper but I have no experience of them and so can't make a recommendation.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

There is a good one from Amazon, a Chinese knock-off mechanical.
A Rii K63c and only £20.

Liberator just bought one and seems to be happy with it, but then he's easily pleased :devil:
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

I got it as a portable one, be aware that they are blue clicky switches and if you wanted to put dampers on you would need 3 per key because of the cap travel.

Reviewed here, but with green LED's.

Time to rekindle this post as the k93 has served me well for 3 years but I am fed up of the COD dreamteam taking the **** out of my clicky keys. I am looking for 3/4 size i.e. without the keypad and it must be silent.

... do you play with open mic?

It would make much more sense to take steps to reduce what gets sent over the mic, than changing the keyboard. Many of us play with mechanical keyboards and only occasionally annoy each other*.


*Specifically with key noise, I mean.
