Posted May 5, 200718 yr I'll probably end up ordering a Logitech gaming keyboards, but i remember a couple of years ago someone posted a link to a keyboard which illuminated all the keys letters and also icons on the keys. If anyone could get me the link to it, that'll be great. Or if you could tell me the best to buy atm, because my keyboards pretty much fucked for gaming right now. thanks <3
May 5, 200718 yr I believe the keyboard you're thinking of is the Optimus Keyboard. http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/ I'm not really too sure what a good keyboard would be. You could look into the G11 (G15 is a waste of money, in my opinion). Damn, I need to buy a new keyboard too.
May 5, 200718 yr The art lebedev optimus isn't out yet and will be stupid expensive anyway. I recommend Saitek Eclipse boards.

May 5, 200718 yr thanks for the link, although its going to cost like $200 - $300 thats fucking crazy. yeah, the G11 + G15 have intrested me though. It'll cost more than that. The Prototype is like 100-200 and it only has 3 keys or some shit.
May 5, 200718 yr im sure you mean the saitek ecplise, http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/eclipse.htm ive got the red one. its pretty sweet, kicks ass at lan parties.

It looks neat, but whats on that little screen? Hey, I ended up actually getting the G15 The little screen does loads, it can shows the time, work as a mini-itunes thing, show your ram, shows FRAPS, what game you're playing, etc. You can also get plug-ins for it to show up other shit and it has 3 special buttons that save whatever keybinds you want on them, so if you have different keys to HL2 than BF2 you don't have to waste time having to change all your settings, you just need to toggle between them
July 18, 200717 yr Saitek and diNovo Edge for me, damn the diNovo is sexy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126008
July 18, 200717 yr That Logitech keyboard looks fucking badass...Is it worth the money? I've been reading about how the keys are a little too small. I dont know, could be a fat ass user with big fingers writing that review. Got pics? The sites pic's kinda suck.

I dont know, could be a fat ass user with big fingers writing that review. Got pics? The sites pic's kinda suck. Naw, the only camera I got is a disposable. I'm behind in the camera technology. But yeah, the keys are a bit smaller than regular keyboards, not to mention the shit gets dirty faster than the back of an iPod. Keys are also a bit less responsive, but it IS wireless. It's good for media work/general work, but not for gaming. Edit: here's some pics I found on the interweb. http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5443/zzry4.jpg http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2758/zzzzho6.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2503/zzzzzzet7.jpg http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/8697/zzzzzsm1.jpg
July 30, 200717 yr For future reference: Personally I use the MERC Gaming Keyboard from Ideazon. It's got it's standard side and it's gaming side to it. Personally, I like it, I find it quite useful. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it's no big deal. The best part about besides the "best of both worlds" approach is the price. Other gaming keyboards usually go for a bit more, this one goes for around $35. I also got the Reaper Gaming mouse from Ideazon. It's also around that price which is good for a gaming mouse, and it's definitely smooth. In general, these products from Ideazon aren't as high end as others out there, but it's definitely suited for gaming. If you don't care so much about the "super high-end" side, then yeah. These work great.
July 31, 200717 yr http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f193/TGOW/IMG_1855.jpg heres a picture of the saitek eclipse with a case and CD next to it for compasrison. monitor is 24" so that should give some idea of scale. pity you cant realy see the cool glow effect.

Nah the keys arn't small. It's just fatties with sausages for fingers. Umm, im not at my house ATM, but when i get back and if i remembeh, i will take a few pictures and post them. This is of course your talking about the G15.

August 16, 200717 yr Kinda 3 days since last post, but if you want my opinion, go with the G15 by Logitech, I have one and it works great, can set up all sorts of things to do with it, so it makes me happy.
September 4, 200717 yr DonkeyPunch;471774']thanks for the link, although its going to cost like $200 - $300 thats fucking crazy. yeah, the G11 + G15 have intrested me though. I've had the G11 for over a year and will never go back to plain keyboards. play in the dark.
