Budget Keyboard recommendations?

[bbezzina73]

Hi, so I'm looking to buy a new keyboard preferably not more than $100.

I'd like a keyboard which is comfortable to type with (chatting and coding/programming). I also game a bit though I wouldn't call myself a hardcore gamer (LoL very frequently. Shadow of Mordor, Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider occasionally). Based on that, not sure if I actually need a mechanical keyboard... Backlight would be useful though.

What do you recommend?

Thats what i used after going through 3 more expensive keyboards the last year. I love this thing as simple as it is. The keys have a pleasant feel to them and the shape fits my hands perfectly. So if you can get around the fact its made by micro$oft then should be perfect for coding with ease.

Thanks emdea22, would prefer one with backlighting though... Do you know any?

Unfortunately all backlit keyboards i know are either mechanical (bad for coding) or laptop like(flat). I wouldn't suggest either. What you want is a quality keyboard (microsoft/logitech) that is backlit, ergonomic but not mechanical. Maybe you'll find something if you search with these parameters.
