Hey everyone. Now I know this question pops up a bunch, (I have already used the search function) but I have still yet to decide on a keyboard out of all the ones mentioned because for the most part, they're just repeated responses. Everyone has mentioned the Logitechs, and the Razers, the Microsofts and the Rosewills, and all the other well known brands. However I have yet to see someone post something that's really got a bang for its buck.
Now I'm looking for something that's not purely restricted to gaming, so Macros are a plus, not a necessity. What I'm really looking for is something with a nice feel to it and has to have Media controls. I love having the access to mute and other hotkeys b/c I use Skype a lot so it's nice to be able to mute, when necessary. If there is a really good basic keyboard that's really worth its price, then I may have to reconsider the media controls, but at the moment having those buttons would be a huge plus.
I have already looked at most if not all the Razers (and I'm personally not a huge fan of them), I've already looked at the Sidewinders (I'm waiting for Newegg to drop another $30 Sidewinder X4 sale), and none of the Logitech G series keyboards are within my price range. I have heard of other models such as the Saitek Eclipse and the OCZ Alchemy Elixir but I can't seem to find them at a good price, so if there are any good sites out there, that'd be much appreciated as well. I would also love a mechanical if anyone knows of one being $50 dollars or less, but I highly doubt that. Thanks everyone.
