Hi guys,
As the title suggests I'm looking for a new keyboard, my current one is a Logitech K200 with a broken leg so I think I'm due a new one lol.
The main things I want are:
- Illuminated keys
Preferably the ones that light up the characters themselves rather than just having a light coming from behind the keys. This is a must and is one of the main reasons for buying a new keyboard.
- Something relatively slim
I don't have a huge amount of space and I prefer the look of slim keyboards anyway. I rarely use the numpad so one without one is an option to save on length. Something <450mm long is preferable.
- Not too expensive
I don't have a budget as such but I wouldn't like to spend more than £40-50 on a keyboard.
There are other things that I like but these are not too important. Logitech would be preferred since my mouse and speakers are Logitech but I don't really mind. Also I like chiclet style keys but these seem rare on desktop keyboards so that's also not important. Lots of macro/multimedia keys isn't important either, in fact I prefer not to have them. Something with quieter keys is also preferred but again I'm not too bothered here.
Here are the ones I have been looking at so far:

Illuminated, cheap-ish and detachable keypad but very ugly in my opinion.

Looks OK, has the illuminated keys and is Logitech but I'm thinking it might be a bit too long because of those pesky macro keys.
Any other ideas?
