My last gaming keyboard was a Saitek Eclipse. After that died I've been using cheap-o crap keyboard and I'm sick of them.
Everything now is mechanical and every time I test one in a storeI just don't like it. I like quiet keys, and even the 'silent' aren't silent. I like the nice soft and quiet bottoming out of a rubber dome when I type.
Until I can convince myself that the premium is worth the noise that comes with mechanical switches, I'm looking for a non-mechanical gaming keyboard.
I like a short travel to keys, but NOT chiclets short. 10-key pad required.
I briefly owned a Logitech G105 that I had bought on sale half price. I found it to be pretty good, but there were some shortcomings that prompted a return:
5-key multikey is pretty weak.
There is a pushed out front to the keyboard that prevents use of a wrist rest and it didn't come with one molded to fit.
The G keys weren't something I really needed, and I constantly hit G1 instead of escape since THAT was the top/left most key.
I'm thinking the CORSAIR K55 might be the best bet, but I'm open to other suggestions. I've also never tested a K55 so I don't know what to expect. Amazon reviews say the keys have a long travel, and that would be disappointing.
