    Hi, just bought myself a CM Storm Devistator keyboard, NOT for gaming, but for the pure joy of working with a keyboard with proper layout, nice positive key feadback, and the minimum of extra multi-media/rubbish keys cluttering the place. For too long I've made do with a cheep keyboard, and although this one doesn't break the bank, I'm so satisfied that I've ordered another one to bring to work. I expect I'll enjoy a mechanical keyboard even more, but they're getting quite expensive. What's funny for me is that this higher quality keyboards are pushed as gaming devices, while I am positive that for people who type a lot, it's even more worthit. What's your take on this? :cool:

        I have a (quite old now) Logitech media keyboard, which replaced my seriously ancient (20 years or so) cheap mechanical one. Mostly because Herself complained that she couldn't use it, since nearly all the keytop legends had worn off... :laugh: It's pretty good: way better than the POS that came with the computer. Good feel, good travel, pretty good layout. Yes, it has extra keys I don't use - but it types well, and that's what matters. The ones I hate are lappie keyboards: too cramped, not enough travel, and the keys are generally too small as well so I end up hitting two for the price of one.

          I have a 4 years old Logitech keyboard - and very pleased with... Whenever I need new one I go and check them in different shops than order from the cheapest source on the web (if I need one for the office I order it via them)...

            I will keep the Devistator keyboard in mind for my next build. Thanks for sharing! :) Currently using the keyboard from the first Windows PC I ever bought... an HP from around '98. Every few years I take it apart and give it a good cleaning. The keyboard is one of the main reasons I dislike working on a laptop. I use the special keys (ins, del, home, end, pg up/down) and arrow keys a lot and the way they are arranged on the laptop sucks, plus, the laptop does not have a number pad...a tradeoff for the size. :sigh:
