What kind of cheap keyboard options are there knocking around for gaming
Prefer flatish keys, not laptop style, but....flatter than standard keyboards.
Can't find any decent ones....

Microsoft SideWinder X4 Gaming Keyboard - Retail £29.99

Stock reply.

If that's not what you want then say what you'd prefer to be different.

Keys not laptop style but not huge either:

That looks quite nice honestly, is there no other option without a wrist rest though? I don't require one.

 

[Surveyor]

Before we go any further what kind of budget are we talking about for a "cheap gaming keyboard"?

 

[MatsyLR]

<50 pounds

 

[Surveyor]

Not much to look at in the "gaming keyboard" category for <£50 without a wrist wrest (or much of one).

Roccat Arvo Compact Gaming Keyboard £44.99

TT eSports Challenger Pro Gaming Keyboard £46.99

No idea if either of those are any good.

The Sidewinder X4 is superb value for money.

I have 2 and, if I was more of a "proper typist", it would be my palms resting on the wrist wrest.

 

[MatsyLR]

Mmmm, do you know how long the wrist rest is? like how much does it stick out?
It looks very small...

On that budget everyone else has nailed it already. The sidewinder.

The textured part sticks out ~45mm and measures ~50mm down the slope.

Does that make me "everyone else"?

Does that make me "everyone else"?

Didn't bother to read who wrote the post So yes I suppose it does. Good advice

Thanks!
That doesn't sound too bad, I think I'll give it a shot and see what its like...I never use wrist rests so I'm wary of attached ones...
