I Im just looking for a new keyboard under and around $200 bucks. IF the keybaord is under $200 By 40 bucks then I will by keycaps as well.
Anu suggestions on a keyboard?
My current keybaord is a pok3r with cherry mx clears and blank beige keycaps.

If you wanted to stick to the same 60% size you could try a HHKB Pro 2. No need to buy an extra set of keycaps, although it does open up a world of Topre artisan choices.. I'm recommending a HHKP because you're not giving us much info to work with.
Are you going to use the keyboard for gaming? Do you want a keyboard with more keys (tkl, full-sized, etc.)? Would you want to try Cherry MX type switches like Greetech, Kailh, or Gateron?

HHKB. I don't own one, but I've tried it and easily worth the money.

don't listen to these chumps.
get a 55g RF.

Ok cupcake, no need to be crass ;)
But seriously, RF 87U is also a good option. It might be more expensive than a HHKB, but it would be different from your Pok3r so there's the plus side

Oh, yeah. That too. Typing on one now. :))

so demeaning :'(
in all seriousness @Brannan, it probably helps to mention what your 'demands' are, and what you'll be using the keyboard for.
as much i enjoy the RF, i don't use it for gaming. for gaming i usually use cherry mx reds or 45g topre (hhkb), not only because of the switches but because 60% is a must for me when i play games.

I'm not qualified to comment on either Matias or ergo, but you may want to take a look at this (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/ergo-pro-quiet-pc-ergonomic-keyboards.asp). It's 70%-kinda quiet clicky ergo board that can be split in half, with a column of extra keys that are actually useful (in editing), and a wrist rest.

i second the realforce 55g

Man, that keyboard has a bottom row for giant thumbs :eek:

Realforce 87U with uniform 55g domes if you want a TKL, or HHKB Pro 2 if you want a 60%
