    I use a good old A4T classic KB, however, I did tried X7 G800 which is still lying around gathering up dust somewhere.

    My laptop's standard Microsoft eHome. It works well enough, though like the rest of my case, it's a fingerprint magnet, and thus my sole motivation for not attracting federal attention. There's no software for wiping infinite fingerprints off of a comp chassis.

    I actually prefer the V1 in stock form. The V2 is probably a little more refined. but I find that I miss having the extra programmable keys (game and benchmarking applets as well as some online auctioneering macros). The stock orange backlighting isn't to my taste either- nor many other people judging by the number of blue LED mod conversions I've done.

    MS Sidewinder X4. Was cheapest illuminated keyboard by far, and it's kinda grown on me. Very handy multimedia keys, dedicated calc button, and anti-ghostign capabilities that beat the G19 even. And pretty nice feel too. :)

    i'm using a Gigabyte GK-K7100 slim laptop style keyboard for my desktop. absolutely love the slim minimalistic design. easy to press down, and makes for my main gaming keyboard too :D

    I use a standard 104 key PS/2 keyboard. Nothing fancy. I have various brands but at the moment I happen to be using an old Dell keyboard circa 1999.

    Just purchased a Logitech Cordless desktop wave Pro. Cordless keyboard/Laser mouse. very happy with it. works great for FPS's and the KB has a great feel.

    Have been through a few keyboards, Iiked a white Microsoft 500 wired with ps/2 plug, keep it for a backup.
    Had a Logitech Internet keyboard which looked the part, but the keys were very high resistance.
    A local supermarket had the first stock of the 2010 Microsoft wireless 1000 Kbd & mse sets.
    Were at half price for a week, it had to be bought! Keyboard has shallow action 'easy' keys,
    plus 17 hot keys, 5 that can activate the first 5 icons in the taskbar on Win 7. No delay in action,
    I don't remember using a better one. If this was about the most used keyboard in UK, it would have to be the standard minimal grey Dell, I see it in every office, library or shop I go in. Shame it's so poor.

    Have any of you Logitech users had issues with the lettering rubbing off of the keys? I had that happen on two older keyboards, and remember reading a lot of negative reviews on newegg from people having that problem with the original G15, so I have not even considered a Logitech keyboard in years even though i like the features. (Love their mice!)

    i use logitech ultra flat keyboard
  17. I suppose I'm somewhat of a keyboard snob: I liked the old IBM "M" clicky-style, mechanical-switch keyboards. These days, I'm using this one: a Filco Majestouch Tactile Touch NKRO which has Cherry "brown" mechanical switches and N-key rollover -- possibly the best keyboard I've ever used (but, then, I'm not a gamer).

    G15, V2. They're getting so cheap I'm thinking of getting a second one.

    Logitech G15, will probably buy a more regular next time.
