Which new gaming keyboard?

EDDS · 17 Jan 2010 at 02:14

i've been looking into buying a proper gamer keyboard recently and im not sure which one to get.

i've narrowed it down to these...

Microsoft X6
Logitech G11
Logitech G13
Logitech G110

ok the G13 is'nt a full blown keyboard but it has the macro keys which is the main reason why i want a new keyboard.

atm im leaning towards the g11 as it has more macro keys, but then again shall i just get the g13 and use my current keyboard(microsoft keyboard with fingerprint reader) with it, as it has some nice extra stuff like the screen and thumbstick.

not too keen on the lycosa or the reclusa and i tend to stay away from saitek due to past expierences.

i did think about the g15, but it only has 6 macro keys, i know you can change them on the fly but i'd prefer more keys. i also looked at the g19 but its a bit too expensive for a keyboard.

6 turns into 18 at a quick click of a button but, although easy and speedy, that is on the fly as you said.

May I ask what you use all those macro keys for?

How about the Roccat Arvo?

I'd also recommend the Razor Tarantula, but it appears there aren't any Razor keyboards on OcUK atm, not sure why.

I use the tarantula personally, so can assure that it works very well.

the tarantula looks pretty good but i'd prefere my macro keys together.

and as far as i can see for the arvo, it has no dedicated macro keys.

Buy a G11 and be done with it

I have used an G15 rev 1 for the past 4 years. Just a superb keyboard. Never let me down once and has some excellent mods as well. I bet you can pick them up quite cheap now a days.

after much thought i think i'll settle on a g13, so i can still buy a new keyboard later on if i decide i still need one. but atm all i want are the macro keys atm.
