Heya,

I'm in the market for a backlit keyboard. I'm not interested in all the gamer crap like an LCD monitor so you can watch your CPU melt or a ton of macro-keys that are never used anyway. Just a high quality board that lets me find a key in the dark should I loose my way in the heat of battle... something like that. Preferably something of a reasonable size, as I often have the thing in my lap.

My current board has a row of media keys to control volume and quickly bring up stuff like a browser or calculator. I'd like to keep this functionality, but it's far from a must. I'm willing to spend an extra 0.5 second and a few Joules to click an icon, maybe even double-click.

Any suggestions?

* oh right: NOT wireless, preferably PS/2 connector.
