I'd like to stay under 40 dollars(not including shipping), and would prefer a wired, non ergonomic USB one.

I saw that Hiper Clavier Aluminum one, and it looks nice, but I also found the Logitech Ultra X, which looks like a good bang for the buck keyboard.

I was going to get the MX 310+Ultra X combo ZZF had for 30 bucks a while back, but it's been discontinued, sadly.

Any suggestions?

I don't need backlighting or anything either(doesn't matter either way though), and I don't like the Saitek Eclipse.


Also, how good are Xgene keyboards? It's not a brand I've heard of, but they have some features that could be nice.

I have this keyboard and I love it, it is simple and to the point. I can't stand a keyboard that has so many damn keys and knobs that I don't use. (it would be different if I used them but I dont). Especially when the keys are put in places they shouldn't be! You won't get that with this keyboard...

Another nice thing about this keyboard is the backlight. It can be adjusted to two different light settings (or off obviously). It's comfortable and looks really cool in the dark. Newegg also has a red version as well, depending on what you want.

Durable and cost effective. I'd buy it again if I had the chance too.
 
Oops sorry about that. Didn't read that much into the post. For any peripheral device I think Logitech is a clear winner for all around satisfaction. Below is a link to a keyboard that looks promising.

However, you'll probably be able to just stop by your local Wal-Mart and get one of equal value without having to wait on shipping.

Sorry again lol, I guess i need to read into it more.
 
lol sorry i just threw my opinion out =( g15 is always an awesome keyboard but it'll cost ya a little more..
 
I like the way the keys feel on the g15, but it's a bit too crowded.

I think I'm going to end up going with the logitech I posted earlier, and an mx310 or 518 to go with it.

they are not flawless. My keys (ctrl, shift - left ones) would not depress evenly and would always get stuck if I pressed the key on the side vs the middle. The keys and feel on the g15 is a ton better IMO.
 
The new G15 rev2 is on amazon now for 80 bones.. in stock! I was tempted to get it but went for a wolfking timberwolf instead.. damn Fry's.. I always walk out with something. lol. so far I love the timberwolf.. rocks for FPS games with that dedicated section on the left for WASD and more.. and the keys are so nice.. excellent sweep depth and resistance.. if it had backlighted keys it would be damn near perfect. :)
 
It's a good kb.. too large for my personal taste but at 47.99 that's a steal!
 
I just bought the new G15 and it's not that bad.
The amber backlight does look pretty nice.
The screen is tiny compared to the original.
I do like the volume knob on the original vs the volume buttons on the new one.

looks nice! it's actually not that much smaller than the original. huh! but the formfactor is more slick in general me thinks. :)
 
TBH, I would simply recomend a cheap Logitech keyboard. I have the Media Elite, and it is very nice.
