Hey guys, need some advice on what to get for a keyboard? i mostly play FPS.

I was going to get the Zboard keyboard but read alot of bad reviews about it.

So what do you guys recommend? And money is not an issue, i just want a good keyset.

I think the standard keyboard is what you will always come back to. Simply get one that "feels right" for you. I have a Zboard and don't use the inserts anymore. I play better without them. If you haven't already - spend your money on a good mouse.

Saitek's Eclipse 2 is an awsome keyboard thats what im using but theres also the more expensive G15 and G11 by Logitec. The extra keys are kinda useless. Thats why i got mine.

keyboard is the last thing you want to waste money on, get a cheap 5-10$ one and it should be perfect. spending 50$ on it is simply insane IMO.

i love the saitek eclipse, nice soft and quiet keys, nice illumination for the nocturnal gamer, overall good quality build, hehe i somehow ended up with two, one from ebay, which took FOREVER so i cancelled it, the other from newegg, turns out the ebay seller sent it already, albeit later than what was promised, and won't take it back :( well at least i have a spare in case a keyboard comes flying at an opponent in a lan party :)

I've tried many keyboards, and as such have wasted much money on them.  I've tried the Zboard and didn't like it that much, didn't feel right to me.  I like the Saitek one a lot, as do a lot of my gaming friends.  I currently use the G15 Logitech keyboard, though I'll admit it does more than I need it to do.  I like the macro keys, but I never use the LCD, for example.

One thing that might be of interest, that I personally like and use with FPS games, is the Nostromo Speedpad v52 by ******.  It's clunky at first, but I heard great things about it, so I got it, and after adjusting to using it, I like it a lot.  I got a couple friends hooked on it too now.

In the end, I have to agree about going back to the standard keyboard.  Get a good mouse for sure.  Those will affect your playing a lot more than a keyboard will.  (I currently use the Logitech G5 mouse)

He said money is not an issue. I'll root for Razer and recommend either the Razer Tarantula or the Razer-Microsoft Reclusa.
