Not sure if they are worth it.
My primary interests are 1. Lighted keys for low light condition so I can comfortably type in dark. 2. Durability is quality to me, even better extreme durability(keys and lights and long lasting key print). If the lights are the weakest link I do not mind foregoing lit keys for extended durability. 3. Best value for money overall. No point in spending huge amount of money for marginal increase in quality. I don't really need macro keys and any others. Maybe Anti ghosting would be nice but I have no complaint with my standard keyboard. So please advise me if these keyboards are worth it. And if one one stands out for my requirement pls do tell me So far I'm considering these(a few do not have lit keys): http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...winder_x4.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...winder_x6.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku..._keyboard.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...oard_g510.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...er_anansi.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...osa_black.aspx http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...sa_mirror.aspx These two probably best for durability?(all mechanical keyboard) http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku..._%28t2%29.aspx With back lit keys http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku..._%28t1%29.aspx For back lit keyboard I'm leaning towards this http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku...winder_x4.aspx If that keyboard has a very good durability I'll be very happy. The X6 is too big for me. But for both durability and lit keys it's probably this http://www.bhinneka.com/products/sku..._%28t1%29.aspx . Is it wise to spend that much for this. The surface is glossy though so fingerprints will be there. I can't believe why they made it glossy. Keyboard is more about comfort and function than looks A dollar is about 8,500 rupiah just in case you guys wondering. To make it simple just pretend a dollar is 10,000 rupiah so a 100 bucks became 1 million rupiah. If any of you think these kind of keyboards offer dubious value at best feel free to tell me. I'd appreciate your honest thoughts.

The Razor Anansi would be my choice for its mmo config, though I don't really care much about kb as long as they work. Still using an old chinese made chicony kb. |

Thanks Frank.
Still not sure whether they are worth it. I have a bad bad tendency to get the best out of durability and value for money belief. And that Anansi is just a tad cheaper than the Blackwidow ultimate, might as well get Blackwidow ultimate. The logic being I'm going to use it for years to come not merely few months. And that seems to be the Blackwidow Ultimate though I hate its glossy surface. Now the question is am I insane enough to buy a keyboard that's almost as costly as a whole new monitor. ![]() Frankly all I need is a backlit, all mechanical, ergonomics keyboard with anti ghosting on the awsd keys but the last is not crucial as I have no problem with standard keyboard. Macros and mutimedia keys are not needed for me. Neither USB port, sound chip or headphone jack.

I've had a Saitek Eclipse II for a couple of years now, and never had a problem with it. I paid $70 for it at Best Buy. These days Amazon has them for $50.
http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-Eclipse...1570023&sr=1-3 It has three different colors, blue, purple, and red for subsimming. Also has a rheostat so you can dim the lights for different conditions, and the same switch that cycles through the lights also turns them off completely.

Sorry, I didn't realize the choices you listed were the only choices. Not much I can do to help then.
