[Bizkitkid2001]

Well, my keyboard decided to quite on me today. Letters started to get scrabmled etc, I am now having to use a spare keybaord which really sucks becasue it is a natural keyboard. I want to know what is the best gaming keybaord I can get for under $30?

I use any cheap keyboard, the only fancy equipment i use is my microsoft wireless intellimouse, and those extra buttons don't work on all games.

If you don't need any fancy multimedia buttons or anything like that, pretty much any keyboard will do.

I bought a few weeks back logitech cordless desktop oem for 25€. Serves it's purpose, though I'm very fond of natural keyboards. (the above desktop was for my htpc, of which keyboard I use like once a week).

I am not a big gamer, but as far as keyboard feel / action, I like the IBM Rapid Access II (it's is a wired model). I picked up several for like under $20 in sale. But that was like a year or so ago..

The other keyboard that IMHO works very well (and is readily available) are the white Logitech keyboards. I have two cordless models - one is the black duo and the other is a white combo (I think navigator -- they have some many names it's hard to keep up). Anyway, the black model was more than the white one, and I think the keys work much better on the white one. And I've tried them on store displays and found they are all like this. The white ones seem 'softer', more responsive, and make less noise. I think the corded white one is like =< $30.
