Steelseries and logitech make great products. They aren't showy like razer products, but they will last longer and do the same thing.

I've had a Saitek Cyborg V.5 for awhile now with zero problems...and also I use Logitech G500 mouse with no issues as well... Just my 2 cents :)

I have a Razor Blackwidow ultimate. Very nice mechanical feel on the keys. You can change the level of brightness on the keys. Has the programmable macro buttons and all that stuff. What I really enjoy about it is having the headset plugs and usb on the side of the keyboard.

I've had it for about a year and a half with ZERO problems. I also have a razor mouse and headset...all of them have been rock solid.

Steelseries Shift. Great keyboard feel. Good layout. Easy cleaning. Macros Galore. Wrist rest included. Program any button to do anything.

If you get a Luxeed dynamic keyboard you will be able to change the colour of every key to whatever you want. The coolest part is that you can even set the keyboard to go to the beat of your music or games. The keyboard itself looks very stylish and clean. There isnt many keyboards that have the features of this one for its price.(below 200$ and even lower if you find it on amazon or a place like that) just search luxeed dynamic in google and go tot there site im sure it can do more, maybe even make you coffee.

The Razer Black Widow Ultimate is the most widely used keyboard in gaming at this very moment. Warning, it is also the loudest. I and my friend love ours, they work great and once you get used to it, will probably never switch.

If you don't get a Razer, Steel Series keyboards also get decent reviews. Any mechanical keyboard is a step up from normal ones though if you are looking for a cheaper price range.
