I need a new keyboard - suggestions please.

I'm getting steadily more infuriated with my Razer Lycosa, so I wanna replace it. It forgets keys at least once a day and the media keys have a habit of sticking "on" when watching something, causing a fast forward, rewind or similar.

Budget is up to £60 max, maybe a little more.

Backlights are a must, preferably blue.

Not sure whether or not mechanical is any different from "normal", but I'll leave that option out there.

Any suggestions?

Do you need a display? If yes then go w/ Logitech otherwise I heard good things about mechanical keyboards...can't rmbr the brand.....Cherry switches does that help? Anyway it had good reviews.

Logitech make pretty long lasting hardware is all I can say.

Ahh yes. There that brand something with nice blue back light lightning.and probably cheaper than Logitech.

I'm not really arsed about a display, just something good quality that doesn't screw up all the time.

I'd suggest checking out the G510 Bigtime mentioned also.

Ooh, that K90 looks nice, really nice in fact. Not sure I really need the macro keys though, do they do a version without those?

On a cheap budget maybe a Logitech G105 or Logitech G110

I actually bought a Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated a couple of months back and I'm happy with it.
I like the wireless for lounging in bed surfing the web and watching movies, but I like hard wired when gaming and this keyboard gives me the best of both worlds, while still keeping standard looking appearance without all the extra programmable buttons, display and magic keys I never use.

Yeah I meant the G110 not 510....

Unfortunately the K60 isn't backlit. I may just have to put up with the macros and get the K90, although I must admit that K800 looks nice.
