Recommend me a good keyboard

Hi everyone, was wondering if someone can shed some light on keyboards as there are so many of them.

Purposes: Gaming, Word documents.

Budget: 30-50 pounds.

Thank you!

Do some research on mechanical keyboards. They are much much nicer to type on than most keyboards that just use little rubber domes under the keys; that indent when you press. They will most likely be out of your budget but you might decide it's worth saving up for one once you start reading about them.

Here is a useful forum full of keyboard geeks ^.^

You don't mention if you want a wired or wireless one? Have a look at the Microsoft SideWinder.

Sidewinder x4 is very good indeed. I've just sold a Sidewinder x6 and bought the x4.
