Well, my Saitek Eclipse II is getting shot, the 'e' key is problematic and the 'n' key is cracked.

I've been looking at the Razer Tarantula, since I've had good experiences with Razer in the past (except, it's a bit pricey for me), and it looks like a solid keyboard. I also hear good things about logitek, and microsoft, but I'm not quite sure.

What would you guys recommend?

I would consider getting a Cherry Keyboard (but propably not Das Keyboard ) . Excellent quality.
Mine was about 14€ but you would not believe that when you see/use it. and you can spend more there too if you want.
It is heavy and sticks good to the desk. The keys are very tight and make a pleasing quiet sound while typing. It realy suprised me.

You need keyboards too?

If the Razer Tarantula is $90, and I think that's expensive, what makes you think I want to buy a keyboard that's $130?

But the Das Keyboard, from what I hear, is really noisy, and has no multimedia keys. That just won't work for me.

Also, I hear that it's so heavy, you can use that thing as a weapon...

Really all I need is something that has good n-key-rollover, and the buttons have to be easy to press (but not too easy, because then I can't rest my fingers on it ). I could type around 65wpm my old keyboard, and that was a dome-switch keyboard. I've been thinking about getting a scissor-switch, but those seem kinda flimsy.

I still miss my olde IBM model M (the "clicky" keyboard), it was comfortable to use and it really p*ssed everyone else in the room off at the same time

I'm using a decent Cherry with the mechanical switches at the moment. I prefer mechanical switches to the membrane type.

I have a coworker that brings in his own IBM Model M keyboard because he prefers the clicky feedback when he types. I think it's obnoxious. It's right up there with the really loud beeping noise that some electronics make when you press the keys.

OMGZ, How will I know that I've pressed a key if it doesn't make a loud, obnoxious noise???? If the sound doesn't puncture my eardrums, then how will I know that the buttons worked?!?!!


I prefer keyboards that make little to no noise. but where you can feel a slight "click" when you press the keys. I've been on the lookout for such a keyboard. Would one of those cherry keyboards fulfill my needs?

i want a totally silent keyboard with adjustable button resistance. feedback sounds can be added thru software. (for Windows you can try Clickey)

This. I've had mine for almost three years now, works like a charm. It's really helped me to stop looking down at the keyboard all the time.

Sounds perfect to me.

@DiM
Which cherry keyboard do you have? Does it have usb ports?

http://www.cherry.de/english/products/multimedia_eVolution_STREAM_Corded_MultiMedia_Keyboard.htm

It has no usb ports, the only extra is 6 multimedia keys.

I still swear by the renewed logitach g15 keyboard. Its much smaller then the first one, is ok to type on and most importantly it will not have jammed keys due to "n-key rollover".. which a LOT keyboards have including the saiteks i tried..
