Backlit Keyboards.

[McGherkin]

Hey folks. Been looking for a keyboard since my last wireless one died.

Here's the requirements:

Must be backlit
Must be full size (not combined numpad)
Budget is £20-30
Wired or wireless, not too fussed.

Here's what I'm looking at at the moment:

Anyone got any better solutions?

Sidewinder X4

3 quid over budget, but it's an awesome KB (I have one)

Red backlit

If you can get a second hand one, the Logitech g510 is an awesome bit of kit, I've had mine for almost a year now.

A little off topic, but only yesterday did I notice that my dell XPS laptop is supposed to have a backlit keyboard and it's NEVER worked. Really has pissed me off.

Everywhere else in the world, the Asus N56VZ (my laptop) is fitted with a backlit keyboard. Apart from the UK version.

Oh, I was pissed at that.

I'm more pissed because it's never worked to my knowledge and should, and now it's out of warranty. Damn work laptop.

I like lit keyboards too.

IMO it's the best keyboard about for the money. I used one for years before spending over £100 on a mechanical one. You really won't find a better keyboard than the Sidewinder for the price and I'm sure Cookie will agree.

Just ordered the Logitech K800 myself, miss having a wireless keyboard. Quite intrigued by their T630 mouse which is due to come out also.

I wouldn't bother with a cheap backlit keyboard tbh, apart from the X4, had a few others in the past, the build quality and backlights were dire to say the least. Wait abit and get a Qpad MK80, awesome keyboard.
