    I think I’ve fucked my keyboard so I’m looking into getting another one, but I want a good one for gaming. Any recommendations?

    Price range up to about 60 I suppose but only that much if it’s something a shit load better than one at a sensible price.

    I bought a Logitech G15 and hate it – You can buy it off me if you want?!

    Because it has all these gaming fuction buttons which I dont use. I have never used the screen on it – its huge, and Ugly – overkill for my needs!

    Do – interested?! (gamers love it!)

    I would suggest that you head down to pc world the next time you can and try all the keyboards they have on display. find one you like then go online and buy it 🙂

    tiz a good idea, I have a G13.. it has blue lights, thats about as good as it gets for me, tbh I find it crap like Turks, much prefer my Zboard.. I never use these so called macro buttons..

    I suppose that’s why I’m asking really. I always thought those macro buttons were a bit pointless and gimmicky, but is that really all the fancy keyboards offer over a bog standard one you can pick up for a tenner?

    no the more expensive keyboards (especially the gaming ones) have more sensitive buttons, shorter distance to travel for it to register. macro buttons were in all honesty designed for MMO players where you bind a button to perform a series of actions.

    i have an old keysonic keyboard nothing very fancy but its the one of the best keyboards i have ever used/tried. almost laptop like keys. thats why i suggest heading to pc world to try some out. i usually try out the new keyboards when i am at the Iseries events. the only one that i have liked has been the roccat one but its damn expensive. they have however just released a new one that doesnt have hundreds of macro keys and is as a result cheaper. dont know what its like to use though.

    here is the new one for £45

    I think I’ll take that advice actually, and hopefully find a PC world nearby. Paddy says I’m gay for this, but while I like the look of that roccat keyboard, it’s missing the arrow keys I just can’t live without 🙂
