Gaming Keyboards

Post by DoctRification »

I have been thinking about buying a new keyboard for gaming (fps games) and i was wondering, what are some of the best out there?
Also could someone PLEASE tell me what the Microsoft Sidewinder x6 gaming keyboards response time is?

Most or all keyboard should have instant response time unless your making the cable longer than 2 meters. I have a MS natural keyboard 4000 and wont trade it for anything else. I just like the split angle of the keys.

The X4/X6 is the business.

I am searching for a keyboard that has backlit keys for me to use in fairly dim conditions.
It need not be a gaming keyboard although I do a bit of gaming and as, don't laugh, it must not be too expensive as I have a parrot that is rather partial to keyboards.Was looking at a Microsoft MSX4 that looks pretty decent and reasonably priced. Any other suggestions will be welcome.

BT games have the X6 on special for R399. Can't beat that price for what you are getting.

Excellent build quality and the backlit keys are awesome for those late night/early moring gaming sessions.

@animal where did you read about the special on the X6,I went to BT Games in Centurion and Pretoria this morning and they had none,then the guy from Centurion looked up on his computer and could not find any store that had stock.
Can you please supply a link so i can take this matter up with BT Games.
