I just got a new computer desk. Its great but the keyboard tray is only 22 inches in length. This is making it impossible for me to use my microsoft comfort curve keyboard. (Which I adore, I love the laptop like keys)
So now I'm in the market for a new keyboard and looking for a solid upgrade.
I play a lot of fps games (counter-strike source and left 4 dead) and I m also a huge fan of the trackmania (an arcade racing game) series. Both games require a lot of tapping the keys. I can type ok, like 70wpm maxwith my eyes closed, but I m not currently doing a lot of word processing. I m thinking a board with mx cherry brown switches or maybe a mx black switch.
Finally my budget is no higher than $100.
Also, I this is my first post. Nice place you've got here.

A tenkeyless ducky, perhaps? They're available at TankGuys. Check the Wiki for WW shopping links. Apparently they're pretty nice, and you can get blues or browns (I think), for $80.

Just checked it out. Thanks

No problem. Most TKL boards will fit your size requirements. The price point, not so much. You can get a KBC Poker on eBay for ~$100 shipped too, and they're even smaller. If you're willing to go a little over, you open your range up to include Leopolds. If you're not adverse to used boards, check the Classifieds, or put up a WTB. You can usually snag something through those.
