    Finally deciding to upgrade my keyboard, don't care for anything fancy with loads of shit on it, just something practical.

    Any suggestions?

    £50 budget

  6. If you really like mechanical keyboards, go with one from Corsair, or the one Natsu linked, but, if you don't like/don't care about the clickyness of a keyboard, check out the Microsoft Sidewinder X4. It comes in at way under your budget, is very durable, (trust me, I know) fully back lit, and even has customizable macros, that would be perfect for binds on TTT.

    I finally got to get a mechanical keyboard. It's the Razer Blackwidow 2014 silent version. Its quite good, has the illuminated keys I wanted, mic and headphone line and also a USB slot built in. If it's on sale then it should be within your budget. ;)

  11. Wow, the price shot up for the Sidewinder. I picked it up in April when it was $40. I wonder why the price went up so high.

    Corsair Raptor K30

    It's okay and like $30, so why not?

    Edit: Also backlit but not mechanical. Has macros on the left hand side as well.

    I would go with the Razer BlackWidow. I've had it since I built my computer last August and I'm very happy with it thus far. It might be a little over £50, but it's worth it IMO.

    Just to add that there is a stripped down version (no backlit keys, usb port, and macro keys) for less. (y)
