Best keyboard for under £55

[marc512]

anyone recommend a keyboard for less than £55?

I dont like compact keyboards and i dont like mega large keyboards. I dont like epicly bright keyboard backlights like the saiteks.

If there is a keyboard what makes all the characters glow white and is standard size with multimedia keys that would do fine. Also it must be good quality and strong.

I was useing a friends keyboard what had mechanical keys. It felt pretty to type on and it felt rubbery aswell. He said it was a cherry keyboard? i didnt think of asking him what model at the time.

Been looking at the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard but its kinda over budget BUT i could buy it if theres nothing else.

Keeping it under budget and in spec, try the loigitech g11:

Go my lad one for Xmas, very good with lots of functionality.

I have the saitek eclipse 2 which had for some time, very solid build and has brightness control on the illuminated keys, so you can turn it right down or even off:

and it's offer this week for under £30.

Had the old g15 (same as the g11 but with an lcd panel) very good keyboard but has quite a large footprint. Changed to the new g15 which is more compact and liking it,

tho £6 over your budget http://www.overclockers.co.uk/search_results.php?sortby=&groupid=702&search=g15

The saitek that plasmahal linked seem good value for money.

Iv tried that saitek and its to stand out for me. I want something light and not in your face. The lighting on the logitech illuminated keyboard is perfect.

the g11 looks good but its abit big or maybe bigger than i think. I need to see it compared to a standard keyboard.

This is what I think is best, and mine works very well.

Razer Arctosa.
^^wasn't sure if OcUK had it

Its good for all purposes and I find is very good for typing, and the MM keys come in handy if you play music on your PC a lot.

I have the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and think it's fantastic, easily the best board I've ever owned.

Great for typing, great for gaming, looks great, you can feel the quality, etc, I can't be doing with all these gimmicky gaming keyboards tbh.
