I play fps games so I need a keyboard that allows me to press several keys at the same time. I'm NOT interested in a g15 or eclipse so please don't recommend those. I don't really need any multimedia keys but no big deal if it does. I was thinking the Logitech Media Elite but wanted to see what other suggestions you guys had. Thanks.
 
Been using my MS Natural Keyboard Elite forever. I think I'm on my second or third one(have them a few years and get a new one as the old one just starts to get nasty). My advice is make sure whatever you get doesn't default the "f" keys to stupid shit like cd controls and what not. I needed a ps2 keyboard the other day for my work bench where I repair stuff and got a logitech access keyboard from staples(they are like 5 minutes away and this was the cheapest they had). When I turn a machine on and have to like go into the bios or press f10 for boot menu(dell) I have to hit the f lock key first. This is something I never really think about as I've worked on thousands of machines and never had to do this. I almost always forget to do it the first time.
 
If you can find a Logitech Elite SE, get it. It's a wired version of the one that used to come with the MX Duo.
 
Any other suggestions? Couldn't find the Elite SE anywhere and I don't really care for the MS natural. The G11 is nice but it has a lot of things I wouldn't use.
 
Maybe this one from dell? I used it for a couple of months and I really liked the feel of it, as well as the no frills layout. It's usb though, although I don't know if that's a big deal for you.
 
I've got the dell one mentioned above at work. It's an excellent keyboard if you are not looking for any extra features.
 
I've used this cheap ass Keytronic for years; I still have one in the shop with an AT connector on it. The key feel is solid and they last like crazy. Easy to recommend.

I've been using the original Logitech Elite since it first came out, and I just got the Wireless version for my girlfriend, and I have to say, I don't think much can be done to improve on it's design.
 
Maybe i'm just too picky, on a few of those suggested the reviews stated they had trouble pressing multiple keys at the same time which is something I really need. I'm sick of finding a nice looking keyboard and seeing the reviews "can't press more than 2 keys at once!" :(
 
I'd have to recommend the MS Natural Ergonomic 4000. At first I thought gaming might be a bit weird with a split keyboard when having one hand on the mouse the entire time but it hasn't been a problem.

But isn't that keyboard bad for RTS games?
 
Seems like it would be bad for an rts or even an fps if you change weapons with the higher number keys. I like the feel of an ergonomic and would definately have one if all I used it for was typing.
 
I was born and raised on RTS, C&C TD/RA in particular, and I don't find that it bothers me. As for FPS, I generally change weapons with the scroll wheel so I don't have to take my fingers off awsd.
