Backlit Keyboards

Looking to upgrade from a MS Comfort Curve, this is what it looks like:

I'd like something along the lines of this if possible as it's the most comfortable keyboard i've ever used. Not really on any budget but the cheaper the better.

How about the Microsoft sidewinder x4?

Great keyboard for the price ~£35.

This one is good for £35 with 1 left in stock:

The X4 is OOS atm though.

Sorry but that Saitek one looks horrid. :/

Much prefer the Microsoft one, is that any good?

I went from a Microsoft Comfort Curve to a Logitech Illuminated. Pricey, but an absolutely lovely keyboard.

I love my sidewinder X4, so much better than the media keyboard 600

How about a Logitech.

I prefer the look of the X4 where just the key legends are illuminated rather than the whole surrounding area.
