any suggestions? id prefer if it wasnt wireless. 2 things i play most online are cs:s and poker -- so id like to have a constant connection :).

i was looking through neweggs selection and nothing had stellar reviews so i figured id ask you guys. i want laptop-style keys and a nice, unobtrusive backlight.

thanks.
 
I too have been down the same road you are now journeying. I have gone through several keyboards in an attempt to find one that performs well and possesses illuminated keys.

You specify "laptop style" keys, so you may want to check out the Eluminix keyboards. I owned one a year ago and it worked great for the first three months. Then I would have issues with random sticking keys. I RMAed the keyboard and its replacement also exhibited the same issues after three months. So while the illumination was perfect, I assume the key issue is endemic to the laptop style key design.

I finally found the Saitek Eclipse and I am very happy with it. While not the same illumination level as the Eluminx, the keys are still quite visible and more importantly, very robust with just right amount of stroke resistance.

Good luck.
