Keyboard Question

Is there such a thing as a good keyboard for gaming and if so which ones is it. I also wanted for daily use, i don't want those just for gaming keyboards.

 

Have a look the saitek eclipse, the letters on the keys are transparent and the keyboard is backlit! (makes the keys very obvious, and is easy to use in a dark room!)

the keys also have a very nice weight to them...

 

I heard that there is paint on the keys and also that the paint wears off, not really a big problem for me. Also that the keyboard doesnt last too long before breaking. I would also like to know of an good ergonomic keyboard and if that design affects gaming. I was thinking about the microsoft 4000 Newegg.com - Microsoft Natural 4000 B2M-00012 Black 107 Normal Keys 17 Function Keys USB Wired Ergonomics Keyboard - Retail but i heard that the keys are too hard. The keys on the seitek are really soft. Any thoughts?

 

I've had my one for quite awhile, and its taken alot!

 

the ergo 4000 is an AWSOME keyboard (i have one) and its so comfortable.

I think the best gamers keyboard would be the razer models for gaming by gamers as they say

Razer | Professional Gaming Peripherals - Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard

Razer | Professional Gaming Peripherals - Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard

if youve got the bucs then these are your best buys.

 

I looked in all the good retailers but none had the reclusa only the tarantula can anyone help me out? I dint really like the looks of the tarantula, if i found the reclusa id probably buy it. I guess i cant find it because it might not be out for sale yet.

 

yip that may be it though i thought it was out now. sorry.

the ergo 4000 is very nice though.

maybe wait for the reclusa?

 

i hope that the keys on the ergo 4000 arent as hard as some people say because i type fairly fast and sometimes dont press the keys down quite all the way. I might still consider the saitek although id probably gofor the ergo but i still got time to decide.

 

the keys are relatively firm but not uncomfortably so. I like the firmer keys so that i do not end up with two letters instead of the one i was wanting. eg you go for an "f" but you get a "d" as well.

The nicest thing about the ergo is the soft pads for your wrists to sit on. But the only thing that this keyboard is lacking is a "next song" button to quickly go to the next song on the playlist.

Im very happy with my ergo. its awsome but that extra key would make it perfect
