Keyboard advice

[Herr-Berbunch]

OK, now I'm after a new keyboard, must have illuminated keys - ideally not just back-lit keyboard, price - anything up to £50 or slightly over- I'm not fussy so am willing to buy used, I'd like a couple or so extra/macro keys that'll save me taking hands off stick in A-10C.

This delays once more my new joystick and graphics card but it's more of a necessity. (Whilst we're here, any stick recommendations gratefully received - I really don't think I've room for any HOTAS products :wah:, but something to replace my 12 year old Sidewinder would be good.)

Got my eye on M$'s X4, Logitech's G510 and G15 but please let me know if you've another recommendation.

I've ruled out the Cyborg V7 and Razer's Lycosa as they don't feature extra keys, but conversely I don't want many more keys - another 12 or 18 would be serious overkill!!!:doh:

Thanks in advance :up:

I have the logitech 150. the keys are lit very well .I think I paid 75.00 US but ithat was over a year ago.It might be cheaper now.I have no problem with it.

Using this myself, 100% satisfied:

wireless keyboard (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Illuminated-Keyboard-K800/dp/B003VAGXWK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327186823&sr=8-3)

Illuminated in four levels, automatically adjusting, works wonders: running it with eneloop accu-batteries I need to reload only once every 10-14 days. Typing feeling is very well, and keys are also silent. Perfect keyboard, imo.

Alternatively, slightly cheaper, but

wired keyboard (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Illuminated-Ultrathin-Keyboard-Backlighting/dp/B001F51G16/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327187136&sr=1-1)

which is also said to be very good.

Highly recommend the G15/510. I have the G15v2 and I love it. As for the Sidewinder, I still have my MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Well suddenly came into a bit of unexpected extra cash today, so I have an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 560 Ti OC heading my way :yeah: Enough left over for the keyboard (definately X4 from Amazon), just a new stick to choose now.

Thinking of T.16000m - plenty of buttons but not too big! :hmmm:

Got the Frau an Ultimate Edition Das Keyboard for Christmas, of which I am very jealous :)

Nice card. I've got the EVGA version and I love it.
