new keyboard

[burnzilla]

hey guys, after stronk advice threads for buying ze ultimate gaming mice and pc's i'm still wondering which keyboard to buy.
currently i have a logitech g15 but it seems to malfunction more and more often, so i'm already thinking about buying something new.

since i like the fancy shit with lights and stuff i have thought about this:

http://steelseries.com/de/products/keyboards/steelseries-apex-gaming-keyboard

or that

http://www.razerzone.com/de-de/store/razer-deathstalker

it could be important to know that i'm pretty comfy with the way my logitech works, i.e. that it's not such a flat keyboard and has a normal key layout.
i guess i won't mind using laptop keyboards either, since you can get accustomed easily to it, but they have to use a normal layout in that case.
i don't care about size, weight or other weird reasons some persons would choose keyboards by ^^

so what do you use or can you suggest ?
5€ cherry keyboard? :> ( sth waterproof veiti ? )

Gaming keyboards are hands down the biggest waste of money.

Some old mechanical keyboards are always nice, no backlight, no usb hubs, works when glass spills over them, ps/2 port, always good feedback and cheap as hell.

Zavod imeni Stalina?

well i'm not concerned about the functionality, same goes for mice imo ( doesn't matter if you spend 40€ or 100€) if that was the main focus i would agree with you and wouldn't pay more than 20-30€,
but as i wrote, i like it fancy. for example the background LED's, i actually use the usb-hubs on my keyboard and i'm concerned about the design.

i thought maybe someone would have had bad experiences with steelseries, razer, roccat, coolermaster,... in any way and could clearly warn me about certain products or give a hint which product really kicks ass
but thanks so far.

If you play FPS games, you need a keyboard with good grip same with the mouse. Also, I haven't tried to spill water on my keyboard to see if it still works. But who spills water like veit anyway? ;D

Oh yeah and LED lights help a lot when it's dark.

nothing better than an old ibm ps/2 keyboard (no joke) but if you want fency stuff which is not better in any aspect but the cherry keys go for the CM keyboard, i hate keyboards which got extra keys left of the left ctrl button and those cm keyboards are able to handle even the illest sc:bw pros (300apm+)

my choice would be the http://geizhals.at/de/355831349 cause its like that cm keyboard and the ibm keyboard made kids

i can understand why you dislike the idea of putting quality into a keyboard because of your ... habbits

and no keyboards are not made for cooking boogie at least for now

Stronk logitech media keyboard ftw. 20 euros, does everything you ever need and never breaks.
