Excellent keyboard, but not mechanical:

If you want mechanical usually you gotta jump to at least $70+ and that is considered bare bones.

the microsoft one is nice but the backlight colour is weird...please suggest some other keyboard...how about the steel series apex raw or the deathstalker expert? @envy14tpe: i need a keyboard with a numeric keypad on my right...i will use it for office work and gaming...

i checked an article on chanching the led colour of the sidewinder x4...( http://www.instructables.com/id/Change-the-Backlighting-Color-on-a-SideWinder-X4-K/?ALLSTEPS ) is such a procedure safe?

for 50 the deathstalker is descent

for 80 this is one of my favorites but i know you dont want to spend that much

and the procedure is fine i have done it with xbox contollers before, same thing really you just solder the led in place and remove the old ones with tweezers. worst case scenario it wont be backlit

i was also considering the deathstalker essential...its not backlit but in the images, it looks like one can read the print...

The azio one is too aggressive looking...what do you recommend: the sidewinder or the deathstalker? or should i bump my budget a bit and get a (which one? )

[Guest]

and what abt the steelseries apex raw?

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

well the steel series review didnt sound all that impressed
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/peripherals/2013/07/24/steelseries-apex-raw-review/2

the razer and the sidewinder are both good choices i cant find anything bad about them so i guess its really which one you like the look of more

i think ill go with the razer...i like the chiclet keys and im kinda ok with the plasticy feel...the sidewinder colour is not too attractive and i did not like the extra macro keys and the price in my country is pretty high...

ok well glad to help you out
