Hey everyone, I am going to be building my second pc soon and I was wondering if any of you knew about a keyboard that has the following specifications:
- blue led or all black
- possibly mechanical
- good quality
- under $60
I am looking for a keyboard that will go good with the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
EDIT: I've decided to just ask you guys what keyboard and mouse would look good with my case. My case is the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I don't have a budget but don't make it insane like the $200 keyboard. Thanks

iLewis wrote From what I hear the Cherry Compact 1800 is a pretty decent keyboard for It's price. You have quite a low budget so finding a top quality keyboard is hard.

I've changed the topic so if you have any other keyboard/mouse ideas please help.

Probably say logitech or Razer are your best bets, although some are quite pricy. If you want cheaper ones look at Cyborg.

I have a keyboard buying guide that can help you decide. The [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is a sweet deal right now as well.

Well, even though r00t just posted his guide, I'll leave my personal opinion and say Razer Black widow ultimate. I love this keyboard, no problems with it.
