So uh yeah, some sort of a gaming keyboard, what would you recomend.

Price top around 100¤, don't care much about macros really.

I cant think of any specifics, but I imagine it's like buying an instrument for personal use: Get one like what you're used to, but without the quirks you don't like, and with the perks you do like.

I personally would pick the top of the line razer keyboards. Yes they have macros, but they also have fully mechanized keys, meaning that the keyboard will NEVER ghost. On top of that the keys last forever and respond much faster then normal keyboards.

I have used one once, and still regret not buying it.

I want a Razer Lycosa. I'm too poor to buy the BlackWidow Ultimate, but damn that thing looks sexy.

If the quality of their keyboards is the same as their mice. IT WILL BE AWESOME!
I got the Mamba(yes the 140$ one) and I haven't had a single second of regret.

Get a Logitech keyboard of some variety.
I still miss my old-style G15. I think a G11 is basically the same, minus the moderately useless LCD, so I'd go for that.

140 bucks for a keyboard seems a bit excessive.

Logitech UltraX Premium. Cheap and ♥♥♥♥ good. It's like having an orgasm everytime you write something.

Damn that one is nice.
But lack of back-lit keys is a bit of a downer.

Roccat Arvo is a keyboard I'm quite pleased with, might want to check it out.
It's small but it's got big keys, thanks to it having the numpad and arrow keys in one.

I prefer keyboards with the classic key setup. Can't even imagine using that Roccat Arvo of yours.

It's very easy, just press top right button if you ever need the numpad.
But I guess you're just not into change.

everyone's taste in keyboards seems to be a tad off:

razer keyboard build qualities are utter garbage compared to their mice(coming from an owner of razer products)

logitech is just rubber-dome/scissor/whatever garbage

this- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6823201040

will be the best keyboard you will ever use, if you make the purchase. if you're willing to spend that much on a keyboard, especially gaming, at least know what you're buying and get something QUALITY like cherry mx blue/brown/black switches(used by the top player

also if you're not in the US you should buy a Filco Majestouch NKRO instead, as at the moment you can only get it imported from a thai website in the US. (same keyboard as the Rosewill, with a different more prestigious brand name. rosewill is literally only a rebranding.)

unicomp customizer would be great too, but yeah, none of razer's keyboards/keyboards advertised as gamer keyboards are really good at all for gaming tbh
