I'm shopping for a new keyboard, but am having trouble deciding which one to get. I have a budget of about $50-$80. I was looking at the RAZER Lycosahttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100008650%2050002202%20600009669&IsNodeId=1&name=RAZER
or the Logitech G15 (which is $10 off right now)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126034. If you guys have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Seconded on the g15. In the same price range, you might also want to look at the Sidewinder x6, which throws in a detachable (and switchable) keypad at the cost of the LCD display.

I was actually looking at the Sidewinder. I'm leaning on either the Sidewinder X6 or the G15. I was looking at the Saitek Eclipse III, but I guess that isn't being made anymore...

Crap, now I read that the X6 has ghosting problems. Literally would have been the perfect keyboard for me. Huuuh, oh well. How are the Logitech G110 and the Microsoft Sidewinder X4?

I bought the G110 last week, and I really like it so far. The LED light feature is nice, and the keys are easy to press. I love the USB port on it because I hook up my wireless mouse to it (had problems with it when it used to be plugged in to back of computer). I recommend the G110 if you're interested. I think it goes for about $70

If you have to go Razer, look at the new Blackwidow. The non-backlit version will fall within the high end of your budget at $85. It also wouldn't hurt to read this. I haven't memorized too many other keyboard choices beyond cheap Model Ms and old ALPS-based boards at the low end and Cherry-based boards costing $85 or more (frequently at least $100-130).
