Neew keyboard - Lycosa any good?

altich88 · 2 Jan 2011 at 21:32

I'm after a new keyboard for programming/light gaming. I prefer lower profile keys if possible and a nice quality finish to them too. A wrist wrest would also be nice.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Lycosa and wondered what people here thought of it. Is it true that it's very loud in use? I'm not too fussed about the lights or macro keys at all though so anything else that's better would be appreciated too.

Budget is around £60.

Cheers guys.

lycosa is an awesome keyboard its looks great very good to type with and even if you dont use macros you may want to for emails passwords ect. I my self do not like the Microsoft SideWinder X4 get the razer one

get a black widow.

stretch the budget.

i normally prefer wrist rests and low keys but i have been totally converted. mechanical is the way to go.

Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, once you get one you'll understand what the perfect keyboard is

.

A perfect blend of laptop keyboard's short keystroke (but with the accuracy of full size) along with top quality mechanics and longevity. Oh and it's pretty much silent and has sweet lights

I would also suggest a black widow. Quite expensive, but very well built keyboards.
