i use a veyr standard logitech keyboard that i bought like 7 years ago for 20 bucks, i think i can get a better gaming keyboard.

but i never needed one so i am out of the loop, basicly it needs to feel good, be wired,illuminated keys and no fancy crap surrounding it

Looking at the Logitech G110 atm, but it has a USB soundcard included so that racks the price up to 65 euros.

Feel free to suggest some keyboards. Sucky part is that i live in Belgium and use azerty so prices will probably be higher Sad

Microsoft Sidewinder X4?
If you REALLY want the best of the best, Mionix Zibal 60 is the shit, although costs quite a lot Razz

I'm having trouble finding price indexing sites in Belgium, but http://www.tecstore.net/Produkt/452320/?piwik_campaign=pricerunner&piwik_kwd=all should perhaps be the cheapest deal for it, providing you can trust ze germans with shipping it. Very Happy

Checked local store sites?

Can't you just use a tiny screwdriver and switch places of the button caps and set the keyboard to use AZERTY keymap?

Pay some extra and get yourself an mechanical keyboard, cant even compare how good it feels compared to rubber dome shit keys Smile I have been using for like half year now this Razer Black Widow, and its awesome. Ordered myself tho an Filco keyboard with MX blue switches (love these, and the sound they make Very Happy). There was nothing wrong on this Razer, brother wanted it so ill give it to him Razz

Also something like Filco will last like forever. Tho prepare to put some serious cash on it, but its good investment Smile I paid for mine total 213€ Very Happy (Filco Majestouch-2 + Filco Wristrest and separate red ESC + WASD keycaps). Razer Blackwidow without backlightning costs about 70e and with 100e.

About the quality on razer, its pretty good (mirrored finish, fingerprint catcher Very Happy). Switches are MX Blue (clicky), and keycaps feels pretty solid. Very good for its price tho.
