What Keyboard Should I Get?

[unrealhacker12]

Out of these two keyboards which one would you suggest if neither are what you like suggest a alternative for around about the same price:
Razer Arctosa Keyboard


or

Saitek PK17AV Cyborg


Thanks to all who reply

The razers a nice looking keyboard. Can't look at the Saitek though it's making my eyes go funny.

G11 is about that price and a good keyboard and well worth a look at aswell.

yeah that saitek a is horrific looking thing. I kinda wanted the razer but it was way too expensive for what it is,

I would have gone for the Eclipse III which is a nice blend between the eclipse II (which i have and love) and the cyborg.

Why not the G15? Slightly more expensive but a very nice keyboard.

It is (i used to have one) but huuge - I'm using a MS Reclusa, which is quite nice.

i love the lycosa'a tactility, in between a laptop and a normal keyboard's.

Has anyone got the Sidewinder X6? I'm really tempted by it. Quite like the fact that you can move the numpad to the other side which gives you a bunch of extra macro's to play with and makes the typical FPS position nicer (with your hands closer together)

I would also like to hear an x6 opinion - if I get one as a laptop keyboard then the num extension will probably be permanently disconnected, but after rerouting house keyboards, am quite enjoying relaxing watching the Cardiff v Arsenal FA cup game with a misc flat keyboard placed on a wide spread lap - ahhhh!
still 0 - 0
maybe a swansea cardiff final ?

Good point. I have a Logitech Ultra X which is brilliant to type on (laptop style) and would want the same in a gaming keyboard but they all seem the be standard key depths/travel.

I love the eclipse II, the III is tempting, i will hold off though, only had this eclipse II for a month!

[Tr0gdor]

The Saitek looks kinda ugly, the razer looks sharp (har har) Got a G15 myself (orange one that isn't huuuge ) It has nice key pressing action.

[Blaineoliver]

I love the look of saitek keyboards, it is sorta futuristic, marmite stuff honestly, love or hate it.

[Technogeek]

I have the Saitek Eclipse II it is lovely .. but maybe thats because I'm a girlie and easily satisfied

[magneticman]

because I'm a girlie and easily satisfied

too easy

...Arctosa

Been looking at those myself, very sexy piece of kit.

Personally, I like the look of the Saitek
