potatochobit Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 my 10 year old HP media center keyboard is on it's last legs I love my keyboard but it's time to get a new one since they keys are sticking from all the bread crumbs inside so I was thinking would a mechanical keyboard be good? I use my computer all day but I do play TeamFortress2 alot so would a mechanical be easier on my fingers? also it has to have volume controls on the keyboard and I would like to spend around 50$ but some more is Ok if you think the keyboard is worth it I don't think I need any programmable stuff unless you think it's worthwhile also I hope it to be available at newegg since I have to buy a new GPU soon as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatochobit Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Thanx for the suggestions I think the most important feature for me is to have volume controls maybe I will have to look at some media ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizaroStormy Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 All the expensive/gaming keyboards i have ever bought break or malfunction eventually. I say buy the cheapest most basic one and it will last you forever. I'm still on the same $8 compaq keyboard I bought 6 years ago and it still works like the day I got it. (did have to take it apart and clean all the nastiness out of it though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicycoky Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 I choose for Logitech gaming series for keyboard and mouse too.. This have been 2 years since i use them, and dont have trouble so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 I use the Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard with Backlighting and it's great. The keystrokes are super responsive, and you don't need to press down on them much. It's akin to pressing down on a laptop keyboard. It's full-size, and has never given me any trouble. Definitely a recommended buy. I tried gaming keyboards, but I never needed to use the macros, so they're pointless for me. The keystrokes and responsiveness was my main buying point. You can buy them directly through Logitech sometimes for $45, or on sale via Amazon for $50. They're usually around $70. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
