Good gaming Keyboard?

Can someone recommend me a good gaming keyboard? I mostly want one for FPS's like Call of Duty. I'm not bothered about the price.

Huskeyyyyyy

Expensive keyboards are useless in simple FPSs like CoD, as stated above the only edge they have over average 15$ keyboards are macros.

If you are really interested in uber-KBs, I'd suggest a Logitech G15.

I use this one for gaming.Unicomp SpaceSaver - $69

I have a cheap razer keyboard. I got it for the illuminated keys=)

Razer has quality products, if you have the budget.

Not necesairly Arctosa is pretty cheap.

I prefer razer keyboards, the finish on them is top notch

oh and BTW gaming accecories doesn't improve your skill, just a bit or more comfortable keys and faster reaction time. I'm playing with a 20$ keyboard+mice but I'm always NO'1 on board when it comes to FPSs.

Hmm, lemme see, so far my favorite one has been the new G15 (I know it is shocking).

I just like that the backlighting is survivable (altho something like the g19 and a good deal of the razer ones can change colors)

The few things I do like with a gaming keyboard is the amount of buttens pressed at once before ghosting sets in, and I do like that they can keep track of the time, emails, cpu and ram usage while you play.

Overall I think the G19 is one of the better ones around, Razer has a few mechanical keyboards however, and they might be worth looking into :P altho they do not have a small lcd to keep track of the none gaming things, it is fairly anomonous, which is nice, they do in theory offer the best kinds of keyboards around. Mechanical keyboards just tend to be a bit on the spicy side :P I think the black widow is one of the mechanicals if I remember correctly. (That is an awesome keyboard)

Logitech is what my brother said, but I prefer Razer over it.

From Logitech I like more their slim cordless keyboard (I have the DiNovo 2.0, the DiNovo Edge is also nice) and from Razer the Lycosa (the Black Widow is too bulky for my tastes).

I'll bet the Lycosa due the retroilumination lacking in the Logitech slim keyboards, is wired, but in a keyboard isn't as annoying as in a mouse.

Logitech G15. It's rockin!

I use the Logitech G15 and I'm very satisfied. It's much cheaper than the G19 keyboard so I'd really recommend it. I don't think the G19 is worth the price.

Lol, gaming keyboards.. Theres no such thing, tbh.

Just as long as you can press the buttons, its a keyboard you can use.. for gaming.

Like someone else said they just let you set up MMO Macros. The keyboard I have is a razer lycosa which is really cool.

Expensive keyboards are useless in simple FPSs like CoD, as stated above the only edge they have over average 15$ keyboards are macros.

I own a razer and a G19 - I have them set up on different computers. I prefer my G19.

Bottom line: if you want to spend that kind of cash, razer and upper echelon logitech keyboards are both great.

Any keyboard that feels good to you is fine. Simple FPSs like Call of Duty don't use the macros that high-end Razer or Logitech have. The real important tool for a shooter is the mouse.

lol @ people suggesting cheap rubber dome logitech and razer garbage. If you're serious about a REAL keyboard. Get a mechanical keyboard they are infinitely more comfortable, responsive, and will last forever. Read the link I provided, educated yourself on the subject... and decide for yourself.

I have a Logitech G11 and when I press the keys, it feels like there is bubble gum underneath. It's crap for gaming :(

The main advantage mechanical keyboards have over "gaming keyboards" is the response time of keystrokes. Mechanical keyboards click when you press them and push the keys back up with a spring. Gaming keyboards don't, they use a cheap rubber dome to push they key back up.

Here is what's under a typical gaming keyboard. As you can see, the rubber compresses and then pushes back up. Very simple design to save costs. If you take a key off your keyboard, notice how there is a rubber dome underneath.

This is what's under each key of the IBM Model M, a mechanical keyboard. The result is responsive feedback, allowing you to type faster.

I still think the difference is negligible for gaming, but if you want to have the "best gaming keyboard" then a mechanical keyboard will be better.

Me using a Razer Arctosa..its damn nice. Had a mechanical keyboard earlier. Doesnt make any visible difference....only feel good factor.

Go for Razer if you want to upgrade!:D

Eh..you probably don't want something branded as a "gaming keyboard" if you want sturdy...

You'd want to go for brands like Filco. I've been watching the GSL and that seems to be what some pro Starcraft 2 players are using (Fruit Dealer, who recently won something like $90k, is using what looks like a Filco Majestouch.)

more expensive,,,sorry ,i think it is not necessary to buy it ...

Most gaming keyboards are gimmicks. g11/15/19 are all just cheap rubber dome keyboards with extra button and led. If you're spending a lot on a keyboard, ie 100$+ then aim for a high quality mechanical keyboard...
