Keyboard recommendations

Artemicion · 21 Sep 2007 at 15:22

Hi, I have spent years trying various ways to get media player global hotkeys working (yes, I will insist on using WMP over Winamp, whatever) and now with Vista the little plugin I had has failed me and died inexplicably. So I figure I'll buy a keyboard with media buttons already on it, but I don't wanna spend silly money. I have no need of wireless two part keyboards, but the one thing I would like is one with the flat, laptop-style keys rather than the traditional deep crappy ones. So, anyone got any recommendations please?

Stelly, does that one have media keys on it? I can't see them, and the product description doesn't mention them.
mk17, thanks, but that seems to have those deep old school keys. Flat ***.
Thanks for the suggestions guys

Logitech Media Elite doesn't have very deep keypresses, but they're not tappy laptop ones.

mm, ok, I may wander into a store and see if I can find one to have a look, although at that price I might just buy it anyway to see...
