    Looking for a good Keboard

    I was gonna grab this Logitech one from ebuyer but reading the reviews it is not suitable for gaming, only allowing you to push two buttons at a time!

    Any ideas? Looking for black or silver of slim’ish design and under £20

    Ive found if I load the keyboard software for Logitech or MS I have trouble in games, they work fine if you dont install their software though.

    Best thing to do is head to pcworld (ducks head and runs for cover) and have a fondle of what they have in stock. Then bugger of back home and find it cheaper. I was looking at a nice silver jobby a while ago then tried it in store and I couldnt stand it. Ended up gettin a logitech internet navigator, works a treat for me, but you might hate it. Hence try before you buy. Also I run the log drivers and havent any problems, and I play fps a hell of a lot, played in dod clan using it.

    Why people buy expensive keyboards is beyond me, £3 from Ebuyer, basic, rugged and easily replaced. Sorted

    nearly agree with Skii.,...nearly

    Except that I have had a few Cheapo ones from Ebuyer (all in the cause of testing and boredom, you know) and the cheapo ones so far havehad the following wrong

    Too short a lead


    To small a return key....tiny in one case.


    A space bar that frankly sucked...you had to hit it with a mallet.http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=55461

    Hence I went back to a Logitech...

    however....the most expensive Logitech is by far and away the best by a million miles...the volume control works very well ( rotating one) and it has loads of extra buttons...PLUS a scroll wheel for trimming my plane in IL-2

    However...have just got the cheaper Logitech and its good....no extra keys but very nice to type on

    Those basic-ish Logitech keyboards are good and the wrist rests are nice. Those ones with hundreds of extra buttons are ugly and I cant believe most people would ever use the additional buttons.

    I have the logitech internet one in black and it is excellent for gaming. Great for IL2, UT2004, dawn of war and CM/FM 2005.
