+1. I have this and for the money it is very good. Good backlight and the keys are really good to type/game on. I am very pleased with my X4.

If you want a "quality" keyboard, get a mechanical switch keyboard. Anything else is cheap tat.

cant fault the logitec G11. tho OcUK aint stocking it at the minute. think i paid about 26 quid for it.

its basically the G15 but without the screen

The steelseries mechanical kboards are sick , I've used one at a gaming lan near my house.

Razor are also very good.

Mechanical is the way forward although its been around for years its just been developed

The logitech G series are very good, Got a G15 rev 1 on my second machine, bought another on MM to replace the saitek eclipse 2 on my main rig.

Dear lord that is horrendous looking.

I would say to wait for the new Razer mechanical keyboards to come out later this month.

They look really nice

Logitech G11 is very nice and can be had for a good price.

Looks like ass. Comes with a stupid number of unneeded keys. Not mechanical switch. The only good thing about it is the backlighting. Which is great if you can't touch type.

Lycosa is pretty cool, small & slim keys, backlight and robust.

My only complaints are regarding the onboard usb port. I cant use my 8gb usb drive because it doent get enough power via they keyboard port> instead, ive just plugged my deathadder into it to save on ports on my pc.

Also, there are no extra keys to customise.

I was looking at this and got to try it out recently. I was left disappointed considering the price and it being a logitech 'gaming keyboard'

The wrist rest was useless and I found it very flimsy in certain parts, found this vid to show what its like http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3697/p1040298.mp4

Depends on budget really. Mechanical ones are really good of course, but I have to +1 the G11 comments. It is really a nice gaming keyboard.
