Hey there,
A few weeks ago, I was playing poker, and my Logitech Illuminated keyboard took a hit. There is only visible damage on the legs of the keyboard, but somehow it just hasn't felt the same since.
So I want to start my hunt for a new keyboard.
I like the buttons on my current logitech keyboard, the low keys, flat layout, but I am aware that mechanical keyboards are the must have for gaming, but I am just not a big fan of the big tall keys, that normally seem to go hand in hand with mechanical keyboards.
I have been looking at the Razer DeathStalker Ultimate [After research, this is no longer on my wish list], but I dont see myself needing the touch screen that it has and i do like to have the numpad in solid keys, but I like other features of the keyboard. That being the low key, flat layout, and then the option for disable keys when gaming. I do not know if other keyboards have this feature?
My list of must haves, is pretty much:
Flat, low key layout.
White light under keys is a must! ( i dont care if more colors are possible, but i want white)
Cable, not wireless.
Budget: Lets say 220$ max, but I do take cheaper options!
[edited in] Must have volume control.
Please tell me what my options are, and reasons for different aspects.
EDIT:
So i have now spent some time getting to know more.
Seems like I like the membrane keyboards, but, I guess I wouldn't mind a mechanical keyboard as long as its low profile like the membrane.
The Steelseries Apex seems to be where im leaning to at the moment. Its membrane, has the light features I want, and also something I found that is a must on my keyboard, volume control! Which is why the RAW is not an option.
I would really like to hear if anyone has any Keyboards in mind I should consider.
