My Saitek Eclipse came to an unfornate end this weekend, so I'm looking for a replacement.
One thing I liked about the Saitek is it didn't have any of those gay media buttons. It also lit up, which was cool sometimes, but annoying more often than not and wouldn't work with a PS/2 connection.

So I want something that meets the follow specs:
  • No extra buttons, including the "F Lock" on some Logitech boards.
  • Normal layout, not ergonomic or anything weird.
  • Must be black or dark gray - no beige.
  • Long lasting, durable. Solid feel.
  • I would like different force levels for the keys as seen here.
  • Phantom lockout feature described here.
  • Would like to keep cost around $50, but I could spend more if it's worth it. No more than $100 in any case.


edit: The KeyTronic E03600QLPS2B-C Black looks to be exactly what I'm looking for, only thing I'm worried about is the possibilty of it being too loud.
 
The Winner!!!

Your standard 104-key Logitech quiet-key, Remember those old Dell computers that first came out with the "Quiet-Key" that everyone raved about. This is the same thing, the only extra buttons it has is located between the arrow keys and the del 6 pack, but I never use them...

I own 3 of these keyboards and i can't even imagnine how much they have been through, and how long. Great all around sturdy keyboards, If I needed another one this would be it.

12 dollars including shipping + no software to install. Simple and robust
