I’ve been looking for a new keyboard for my new gaming computer. The old Saitek has served me well, but it is reaching retirement. I tried the Razer Tarantula, but the one I bought was a return and had bad keys. I tried the Ideazone keyboards, but they just did not feel right.
I just received an email about the Razer Lycosa. Unlike the Tarantula, this one has backlit keys. There is also an option to turn backlighting off for keys leaving, for example, just the WASD keys lit.
I’ll have to see what the price is but this one might be the replacement.
Hey mindflayer, I have actually recently looked into buying a new keyboard gearing to handle my gaming. I wasn’t really requiring it to have backlit keys, but i definitely needed to have multimedia keys that i could launch my programs, and also mask with itunes so that i could control the volume and have forward / back song keys along with pause and play. After just browsing around at Office Max i ran into a relatively cheap (my kinda keyboard) Logitech Multimedia Access Keyboard 600 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/2996&cl=us,en
it has a great feel close to a laptops keys but much more sturdy. I’m enjoying mine, hope you find yours

Leroy – I ended up getting the new G15. It’s been working very well for me.
Now just need more spell damage.
