Gaming Keyboard.

RUDEIX_CUBEIX · 24 Jun 2012 at 21:01

Hi there I have approximatly 50 pounds to pay for a gaming keyboard and I was wondering what people have to say on the matter, i`m not a hardcore gamer maybe 10 hours a week so I sorrta thought that it was not worth spending 50 pounds on one but I would like to hear some opinions.

Also can anyone advise a good keyboard for upto this price and try if possible give reasons for the choice.

microsoft sidewinder x4, pretty much the best keyboard south of 50 quid, imo anywayz

Yeah I was looking at that seems a bargain for 27 quid but I am a fan of roccat and they have the isku keyboard here for 53 quid and I cant decide which one would be more worthwhile considering I dont game as much as I used to.

A good keyboard is a definite must if you do plan on gaming at all, it does make a massive difference compared to a £5 cheapie.

I'm also looking for a keyboard and personally I was going to go with http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-000-TT, but after looking at that sidewinder x4 I think I may just go with that and save £20 personally!

Yes I think it might be the X4 because the roccat seems like overkill on the price considering I don`t game as much as I used to and besides I want to buy Ghost Recon Future Soldier aswell tonight that`s why I was thinking about getting a keyboard LOL.

I own the x4 great keyboard for the price. It has anti ghosting can press up to 27 keys at once perfect for well any game :-)

Shankly does the X4 have a function to turn off the windows key like most gaming keyboards have?

Yes by default its off, you can control them settings in the driver software.

When you get it you don't get any driver cd in box. Go to Microsoft site to download.
