Title: Recommend a 107 key keyboard?
Post by: Godbless on Tue, 19 June 2012, 13:50:45

Hi guys, this is a weird request, but basically I like using these 107 key keyboards where there is no gap between the "Up arrow" and "End" key. However, its hard to find a decent one as my cheap Ativa just broke.

This is a picture of what i mean:

If there isn't anything out there I guess Ill just get this Rosewill or Gearhead one. I'm using it for gaming so I'm wondering if they'll be alright.

There really aren't many mechanical like that. Only I can think of off hand is HCL Diamond, but you would have to get it from India somehow. If you don't mind more keys and ISO maybe a Cherry G80-2551 or 8200, etc.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm kind of newb when it comes to keyboards.  Whats mechanical keyboard?  It doesn't have to be anything fancy, my budget is under $50.

Wow a mech keyboard for under $50?? I can only think of a membrane keyboard that "feels" like a mechanical keyboard but not a true mech keyboard @@ That's going to be really hard to find.

Well... there is ebay. G80-8200 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-G80-8200LPBUS-Ps2-59-Prog-Keys-48-Releg-Keys-Tracks-1-and-2-Mag-stripe-/230763888748?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item35ba99806c), make lower offer they will probably take it as it is close to your budget already.
