Default Suggestions for a Gaming Keyboard

Hey all!
I want to get a second keyboard, but the nice one's are sky high priced. So without breaking the bank I want a sturdy keyboard that is gonna last me a few years, and has a good feel to it(I know that is a break the bank request).
Nothing speaks better than experience!!!

PS I have an old Eclipse that I love, but they don't make um no more...

you want a matt or a mechanical ?

I have a TT that is nice and a Razor that I like

both mechanical, I just like the feel, both cost an arm and a leg though ?

I might pick up the Razer one. Only because it's lighted. Are the audio cables attached to the keyboard or came they be unplugged?

Everything is attached on mine, it has 2x USB one for the keys and one for a plug on the keyboard the audio is in the same cable as well. The razor does not come with a wrist rest though. So long sessions can be fatiging on the wrist, Although I feel the trade off is worth it. great tactical feel and at times almost too responcive.

There is a small curve coming from a rubber matt like say a Logitech G510. but you get over it in 20 minutes

Nothing wrong with a matt bro, used them for years

They are defiantly a lot more competitively priced.

Disagree with the review, my Razor and TT has been bullet proof, knocks on wood ....

My razor ultimate was bulletproof until the left support of the spacebar broke.. downhill from there.

Have you looked into Duckey? Well made mechanical keyboard, I picked up a no frills one at Micro Center for $79, cherry red switches

Think I need to upgrade to one with macro keys though
