    Hello guys.

    So lately i've had A LOT of trouble with my keyboard, i talked to chick about it and he said that it's probally something with the cable, and it is.

    So, christmas is coming right up. And i need a new keyboard. So any suggestions on what i should buy? I have a "ok" budget to buy a keyboard. Which keyboard should i buy?

    Well you could buy a razer keyboard, but tbh any keyboard would really do, I'm using a £6 one from Currys ;D

    But yeah, my friends use Razer Deathstalkers and they're perfectly content with em.

    Actually Razer keyboards (depending on how new it is etc.) are a lot less expensive, the basic Razer Deathstalker is about £60, whereas that is £123

    I know, but due to me being a "rich kid" sometimes, i has to be "cool shit" before i even consider buying it.

    I've heard some bad stuff about the Razer.
    Also, Corsair has Cherries.

    What about every other brand :) Also keyboards are all pretty similar, unlike mice there isn't really much of a difference to make spending £50 more on a certain brand etc. worthwhile, find one that you like and go with it, but tbh dont spend hundreds of pounds/euros on one keyboard.

    Thats right, go ahead and kill me.

    Bad. Corsair good, everything else, bad.
    *more hypnotizing hand movements*
    No but in all fairness you're right. But there's somewhat big difference between mechanical ones and, well, non-mechanical ones. Although they make more noise. But there are plenty of cheap ones around. Oh, and reaction time. The difference between 1, 2, 5, 10 or 50ms is noticable.

    Any keyboard can be good, even the budget ones. At least don't overdo it. For example I got a Logitech G510 an the only thing i use the screen for is to see who is talking on TeamSpeak :')

    Oh and the binding of G-keys on logitech kinda sucks. So if you're looking for that. Don't buy it.
    And don't buy keyboards with those laptop chiclet keys. They kinda suck.....

    In all honesty, after having a Z-board for about a year then having a normal 'default' one, the default has lasted me for years and haven't had a problem with it yet.

    Or y'know, clean your keyboard every once in a while, that helps too.
