Hi there,

Looking to update my keyboard from my original packard bell keyboard to something much, much nicer....

Have been looking at:

auravision eluminX Illuminated Keyboard

Hiper alloy keyboard

saitek eclipse....

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with either of the three? or any reccommendations...? Seems hard to find a full comparitive review of keyboards, and yet they're probably one of the most used peripherals around.

Basically, to summarise my needs, i'm looking for a UK QWERTY layout board, don't mind if it's wired, would like it to be thin, and backlit keys are an added bonus... (as long as you can turn the lights off)....

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers,

Daz.

Wow, that's a bit much i think, it does look fairly amazing though...

Anyone else got any suggestions?

this is about the best quality keyboard you can buy.
Solid feel, good layout, old school rugged and fast for gaming.

Ok, well went for the all aluminium Hiper keyboard, will let everyone know what i think...

Cheers.

Have you thought about something a little easier on your body than the traditional keyboard style? I've been using a Kinesis Contoured keyboard for about six years and I love it. If you look at the design of this thing it just makes sense. Here's a descriptive page at Kinesis: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/benefits.htm . Yes it's expensive but I feel my hands are worth it. I think they have refurbished units at better prices on their online store.
