Just wondering if you guys can recommend a decent keyboard for around £80, not fussed about rgb or extra macro buttons. This is for general use and needs to look decent eg not something from star trek lol

Or is it worth pushing the boat out for a strafe silent?
 
The Mionix is good, however this keyboard is also excellent (although slightly above your budget):

Quite like the looks of the steel series one & mx brown is favourite unless I pushed the boat out for the strafe silent. Any other worthy mentions?
 
If it's still available for ~£65.00 the Corsair K65 Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry RED MX (10 keyless) keyboard is simple and robust no RGB just basic macro if you need it. i never use that stuff.

The raised keys are easy to clean too.

This is basically the same keyboard as the ozone strike but with back lit keys btw - solid no frills FPS gaming keyboard if MX Blacks are your thing though a small number of people have had issues with USB connectivity/timing out with them but AFAIK it is only a small number.

I actually have a Zibal 60 sitting unopened next to me if anyone wants to know anything specific.
 
Cracking deal that, what are mx blacks like in comparison to say reds?

I'm after a good all rounder, I play a few games but also for general typing plus the Mrs is typing up her thesis.
