Hey,
Hope I put this in the right section.

As above, preferably with a light, raised traditional keys.

My Saitek Eclipse has had it, quite good but not that great build quality.

tia.

which saitex did you have? i have the second version after hearing good things, im constantly having to retype everything because it doesnt pick up all the keypresses, especially the 'T' and 'N' keys!

i like the wireless MS multimedia keyboards, very easy to work on, dont think any have lights though

I'd recomend the Razer Lycosa - especially if you don't want a really wide keyboard. - It was the narrowest lit gaming keyboard I could find about 4 months ago.

I have the first version or Saitek1 - the space bar is almost gone, so I understand what you mean about the keys ,lol. Perhaps I should've opted for the second edition.

I totally agree with Cowboy Tony the Razer Lycosa is a awesome keyboard and the Mirror Special Edition is very nice

G15 has been my favorite for a while now
gotten very much used to the "compact" V2 (well compared to the original V1)

Well, in the end I went for this:

For the money it was probably my best bet. Thanks for your replies though.

Logitech Gaming keyboards are very nice. I got a G15 v1 many years ago and still use it today - brilliant keyboard. The screen is pretty useless tho, so probably the best best is the G11 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-090-LG&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1258.

This keyboard has a steep price tag, but it will last you a good long time. The blue lights are perfect for night gaming and rather soothing. Furthermore, the circular volume control wheel is a brilliant feature and gives you good tactile feedback for on-the-fly volume change. Plus the macro buttons can be very useful in certain games.
