Gaming keyboard help...

fej2008 · 07-22-2009, 06:28 PM

Hey guys, I'm planning to purchase a gaming keyboard. Any suggestions on what brand and model? Thanks.

Cdx · 07-22-2009, 06:57 PM

I use a Logitech G-15, it is $99.99

Heres the list from the Logitech gaming keyboards website, depending on how much money you are willing to spend.

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/ke...ter=364&sort=0

I recommend the G-15, because it is a affordable price, it lasts along time(i've had it for about 2-3 years).
Also ive spilled so much stuff on this keyboard and it still works great, hehe.
Also the keys light up in the dark, it has extra gaming keys on the left, a multimedia center for music, and also the keys are very soft and dont make a bunch of noise like normal keyboards.

Let me know on which one you decide on!

Yep, the G-15 is an awesome keyboard. I've been using mine for ages.

I don't really care for the gmaing keyboards too much as its never been in prority to get one but I know that logitech sells quality stuff and I would definitely go with a logitech g15 keyboard too.

These are logitech products I have;

-G9 gaming mouse.
-speakers (X230's or something similar).
-350 internet keyboard.
-Pro 9000 webcam.

I have yet to be disappointing by logitech yet.

I'll add another vote for the G15. Make sure you get the newer revision though.
As other's above have noted:

Plenty of customisable macro keys.
Extremely durable and long life.
Back lighting on keys are good for dark rooms.
The keys feel quite nice, very 'springy'.

Thanks guys for the suggestion, I'm not sure if we have that keyboard here in our country but i'll try to look for it here or maybe ebay will help as well. Or maybe get the closest one to it. lol!

If you guys have any other suggestion for a gaming keyboard, please post it here. A different brand maybe, if there's a good one. =) I still have a week before getting a keyboard.

Mcninjaguy · 07-23-2009, 05:12 PM

What country do yo live in? I need to know the website I'll use to suggest it to you or if you have a website or shop you like to use please feel free to provide a link to it.

fej2008 · 07-23-2009, 08:28 PM

We have a place here called "Gilmore Street" it's like a street of computer shops.

I'll go there next week, just suggest a brand and model and I'll look into it in person. Some of the shops doesn't have websites. =)

Thanks for helping mcninja

I'm not sure about you but I would go logitech even if it is a lower model.

Logitech Classic black
₱380.00

fej2008 · 07-24-2009, 02:47 PM

I like this classic black it's so simple.. What can you say about A4 Tech?

Mcninjaguy · 07-25-2009, 07:13 AM

I've never heard of the brand before. I know logitech though and its a good brand no matter the model you use from them.

Xeonyxorich · 07-25-2009, 12:47 PM

fej2008 · 07-25-2009, 01:31 PM

@mcninja... Maybe A4 Tech is for asia only, I don't know. Thanks for the recommendation, people here also recommends logitech.

@xeon... razer products are pretty cool especially mouse and keyboards, really for hardcore gamers, though I'm not sure if we have it here in our country but I'l try to look for it and see how they price it here.

Thanks guys.
