I'm after a new keyboard, my current one is ~6 years old.

I'll go for cherry red keys I think, the only extra keys I want are play/pause, next, previous and a volume knob/rocker.

I've had many keyboards with macro keys etc, but I never bother using them.

Two that have caught my eye so far..

Corsair K70
Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate (only comes in brown/blue switches)
 
youre going to need a corsair really. they are the only ones that come with specific volume buttons

either that or hold off for the ducky shine 4
 
Any other suggestions?

I probably could live with built in FN keys for volume/media.

The Func KB-460 looks nice too


ETA on Shine 4?

Think I'll replace my aging DeathAdder, had it since December 2006! Never expected it to last this long. I've opened it up once to clean it. Now and again I get a funny middle click issue where the scroll wheel jumps up/down a notch.


Think I'll just get the new DeathAdder
 
Wow, my work keyboard suddenly feels terrible. Finding it a real effort to type on this compared to my new keyboard at home!
 
having lived with a k90 [or at least until it decided to die on me recently] i'll admit that the volume roller on it was an excellent feature that i found useful pretty much all the time. i imagine the similar setups on other corsair boards are just as good.
