Recommend A Keyboard

So, I have this old Logitech G15 gaming keyboard ... it's served me well over the years but now the keys are frickin' loud! I think I am getting old and easily irratable but I can't stand it anymore!

I saw this one at FutureShop and the keys were like a laptop keyboard ... soft and silent! BBBBUUTTT it was like $150 bucks!

So, can anyone recommend a nice soft quiet keyboard? Wireless preferred.

The problem with buying a wireless kb is it comes with a wireless mouse too which you probabaly won't need but take a look at the Logitech MX3200 or MX5500.

I've been using the G15 since spring, my keys are still soft.. haha wonder how long it'll last.

Are you still looking for a gaming keyboard?

If not, the Logitech Wave keyboard is pretty quiet. the newer MS keyboards are butter too.

Before I got my lappy I used to have one of those curved Microsoft ones that I REALLY liked using...quiet and you get used to the shape (and grow to prefer it) very quickly.

That Logitech G19 is a bloody transformer! I think I will have to shell out the $100+ bucks for a premium keyboard. But I'll look into the Lycosa as well.

If you like the laptop style keys, then you should take a look at the bluetooth Apple keyboard.

I got the Apple keyboard for use at home and everything works fine in Windows except for the multimedia shortcut keys. However, you can edit the registry to assign any key to a shortcut.

I love the apple keyboards!! I didn't realize how much crap keyboards were up for sale when I visited FS and BB. But, you get what you pay for.
