Gaming keyboard and soundcard advice

hlw86 · 5 Dec 2007 at 21:53

I have no idea about this sort of thing and am new here so go easy on me ...

I am looking to buy my boyfriend (a member on here) a gaming keyboard and sound card for xmas. I have no idea what is good and bad though and am going by reviews on the product page.

Can I please have suggestions. I have seen these which seem to have good reviews:

I am looking to spend about £80 for the two things

Cheers

Hi

Both good choices but I would go for:

Keyboard:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-019-SK&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=2

Sound Card:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-043-CL&groupid=701&catid=11&subcat=

Pretty much the same as the ones you chose but the keyboard is the newer version with three colours, which I am typing on at the moment.

Either sound card is great.

P.S. So you think he is going to be reading this thread (hope its not a surprise

As long as those aren't yours/his initials and birth year in your username then I think you're OK

Username is pretty random ...

Cheers for all your help; have ordered the newer Saitek keyboard recommended by Kalpsn2000 and the original sound card.

Reviews seem OK. The name "Reclusa" though - suitable for recluses, or implying that one will become a recluse because it is so good?
