well my £30 8 month old msoft wireless keyboard and mouse served me well until the left click went on the mouse at the weekend so went out and got a G500 mouse which i'm very very happy with. Now i wanna change the keyboard and get a wired one but a little unsure what to go for maybe keeping with the logitech theme would be good as i own a G13 aswell. It won't get used for gaming much as i use the G13 for that. I'm after something thats pretty quite preferably with soft touch keys and maybe lights up like the G13 does.

Any suggestions or user experience would be great i kinda like the look of the roccat v2 but definately need some good feedback before spending upto £100 on a keyboard

I've used the G15 v1 for quite some time and found it to be really comfortable to type on - the backlight was sort of useful but more of a gimmick tbh. You could always go with a G11 and save a few quid.

Am currently at work and am typing on a DAS Keyboard. This really is the mutts knackers, electro-mechanical response very similar to the original IBM keyboards on the daisywheel printers. Downsides are it costs about £90 and is quite noisy in use, but is like typing on velvet!

Hi,

I have never used this board myself but a work friend has one and RANTS on and on about how "imba" it is (he only an apprentice so still using leet speak).

Have a look:

If it was me however there is only one keyboard on the market worth upgrading my g-15 for and that would be:

A little bit over your budget but worth those extra few pennies in my opinion.
