    Wondering what Keyboard people use, and since there is a "what mouse do u use?" thread, then there has to be a keyboard thread

    We just got all out Saitek Eclipse II's in at work.  Those things are gorgeous and amazing.  As for mouses, we're using Razer DeathAdders.

    I'm looking at possibly grabbing a Razer Tarantula for cheap, but a new keyboard is not high on my list of things to get...

    Just a simple Logitech keyboard. I don't think it's a certain model.

    Yeah, when I get bored, I pull keys off. and put them back on. Eventually the little plastic clips get lost or broken.

    I have one of those Saiteks but I can't use it because I got a new desk... I didn't check the keyboard tray width so I use this tiny black keyboard.

    I agree, I'm on my Acer Aspire One right now and I love the keyboard on it, infact  I like the low profile keys on laptops, that's why i dont do a whole lot of typing on my desktop, also primarily since thats my gaming only rig.

    I use a Logitech MX 5500. Simple wireless keyboard but it gets the job done.

    Don't.  Go for the Saitek Eclipse II instead.  The backlighting is much nicer on them and far more legible, the keys are more comfortable, the wrist-rest feels better...
    We were actually going to get some Tarantulas when we were getting our DeathAdders, but we tried the Tarantulas out beforehand and they just weren't nearly as nice as the Eclipse II.

    Also, as a word of advice...the Razer Pirahna headphones suck ass.

    Its awesome.. I use to have the n50 then n52 now the n52te
    The lower profile buttons help for faster response..compared to the old n50 and n52
    Also the software is from Razer and you can save your profiles on the device itself ( so you can take it with you and use it on another machine )

    I personally don't wanna use a std keyboard for gaming anymore, once I got accustom to using it its hard to go back.

    I've heard nothing but positive things about the N52TE, but unfortunately, we didn't have the kind of money to dump into getting 40 of those.  lol  I was sad, needless to say.

    I have a Razer Lycosa which I bought last week, and a DeathAdder which I've had since launch. Both are awesome.

    I was using a lycosa it was great then it met with a nice full glass of water.  I think i may wait to buy a new one till the g19 comes out in march.  Expensive but its features look really nice.  I use a MS SIdewinder mouse because i like the sidebutton layout much better then other mice.
