Well my saitek eclipse 1 decided to go mental after few hours of tf 2 session. lasted good 3 years anyway.

Now i was looking something new however it has to be less then 48 cm (480mm) in length.

Razer Artosa and Razer Lycosa are 47cm (470mm) in length witch it perfect ,but my concerned about there slim keys ?and do they have us or uk key layout?

if anyone has one of those can u comment ^

also is there any other alternatives ? or should i just get saitek 2 480mm in length it would use quarter of my mouse mat , but then it would be same length as saitek 1.

you can get he lycosa in uk layout. and the slim line keys are awesome.

only thing i'd say is get the rubber topped keys version not the piano black shiny one.

Also you can assign any key on the bord to macros, so no need for extra keys.
 
The microsoft Sidewinder keyboard is quite small without the numpad attached and can be hotswapped to either side of the keyboard in seconds if you need to use it. Not to mention it has lots of lovely features.
 
Love my sidewinder, i dont use the attached number pad, so its nice and compact, nice backlighting and a great feel, main reason i bought it though was the nice volume dial on it, since my speakers have a touch screen, but its much easier to control the volume.
 
just few questions before ordering, is it possible to take those wrist rest from sidewinder ?

and would you not mind measuring how long is it without keypad? as with keypad it is 513 mm (51.3cm)

The wrist rest is fixed, but its a very comfortable wrist rest, i dont have a tape measure, but if you mesure 6 key widths, thats the overall size of the keypad including the side bits.
