Which keyboard?

[bindo]

I've got some old Logitech keyboard, which is frankly abysmal!
I've been writing an essay on it and it's horrible to use. So I'm looking at getting a new one. I've had a look at Scan, OcUK etc. but I can't find anything that looks any good.
It'll mainly be used for msn, writing essays, a bit of gaming and media keys would be a bonus.
Any help would be great.

I have a saitek eclipse 2 .. uliminated one.

Its very nice to use...quiet and solid keystrokes..nicely put together...it is corded (dont know if that effects you)

Has 3 different colour backlights and can be turned off.

I have one too and I would recomend it.

I have a Saitek Eclipse (first version) as well, it's an excellent keyboard, well laid out, very solid. Brilliant for gaming and typing alike

I'd recommend the BenQ X-Touch 805 keyboard.
I have had it for two years and its on par with my ThinkPad laptop keyboard in terms of quality.

I have the Eclipse 2 and would also recormend it, in fact 3 other mates have also got it and love it too!

You shouldn't pay more than £30 for one (Amazon stock it).

all the above its an OK keyboard, the keys are spongey though.

i have the g15, not through being a one better type person, i like logitech service. and the keys are brilliant, it may be big but the quality is something you cannot argue with imo.

I have the Microsoft comfort curve keyboard and it is very good cheap to

I have 2 keyboards that I love to use at home.

1 is the G-15 logitech keyboard and the other is the cherry CyMotion Expert in White.

@Lee: which do you prefer?

And have you tried the Saitek before?

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 - so good I bought one for work too (out of my own cash).

[abeacock]

I also own a basic black Cherry keyboard and that has always been a good bet as well. A lot cheaper than my Eclispe 2!

I use the logitech S510. A very nice looking keyboard, with matching mouse

[Metier9]

logitech mx5000 I love this keyboard

[arbitor]

tbh mate with logitech you get quality.

im yet to see a product from saitek that isnt gimmicky and cheap.

the keys when your used to the g15 are spongey

The saitek is actually simple and solid. I had a logitech desktop set in the past and the keys started getting sticky and began eating through batteries like there's no tomorrow, I was buying lithium batteries on a fortnightly basis during shopping.
