Keyboard advice
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 , 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!!! Thanks in advance

Using this myself, 100% satisfied:
wireless keyboard 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 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 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!
