GIVE IT TO ME! I'LL BREAK IT!

Anyone got any good recommendations?
I'm after something new. My old Lycosa has had it and I'm using a Dell Cheap POS atm.
I got up to ~£100ish to spend on one. Looking at the Logitech G19 but open to mechanical keyboard ideas.
Any opinions?

I like my sidewinder. It lights up and has 6 bind buttons that I have no idea how to use. Has also survived several beers spilt in it.

If you're going for a mech, get a Filco. If not, don't spend more then £30.

I've had no problems at all with my logitech keyboard that came with my pc. It's suffered and withstood many pot noodle and beer spillages, plus it probably only cost about £10.

Although I've been holding off on a purchase of this myself, this is the keyboard that has my envy right now: Corsair Vengeance K60Mechanical cherry keys, on a nice solid slab of aluminium, all keys removeable with alternative rubberised keys on WSAD etc.   I'm hoping Santa brings me one.  |

Hella expensive for only half a mechanical board though dude, even if it is the only UK layout board with red switches. I too would've been all over that shit if they hadn't cheaped out by chucking rubber domes all over it.

I agree with you there, that was a let down - I still think that the pros are there for me with those negatives and I think that the higher end model with the macro keys is a bigger let down. I'm a smoker and that thing looks like a joy to clean. It also looks like it's built like a tank. The one thing that always stops me, is the idea that one day I'll replace my IBM model M with either a "new" one or a decently cared for one. Either that or one of the modern clones. I don't care how much of a meme it is to say that the model M is the best keyboard ever made.. because it is. That keyboard only has a few downsides and one of them is that it's a dirt magnet. Although, it'd continue to work if you were burried alive with it. |

Logitech G700 - best mouse I've ever owned. Moved over from a Logitech G7, which was the buggiest, but best mouse I'd owned up until this one. The G700 is an awesome mouse, wired and wireless, comes with a shaped micro USB cable for when the battery dies, to charge the battery and keep the fragging alive.  |

None of them are in the way though, it's a well engineered device. |

F-keys and insert/delete are dome. I don't find that a huge deal breaker on the K60 - it's more of a deal breaker on the K90, as te macro keys are also dome. |

I was really tempted by the K60 too, but there's a lack of press on it atm so not sure if want
