I'm in the business of purchasing one and I really don't know what to get. I wanted to get the Razer Black widow ultimatebut it's getting some pretty bad reviews over time. I like the Steel Series 6gv2 because it has solid reviews but I would prefer a backlit keyboard.

So, my fellow GBers, what would you recommend?

I have the cooler master quickfire rapid and love it.

Even though stout makes fun of me for it :(

Those things "click" really loudly, don't they? My friend has one that comes over the mic all the time

Getting a monitor first so you don't have to keep using your TV

Same. It's incredibly annoying when you notice he typing a post or quickly typing during a game. Overpowering any game noise or music playing in the background.

Duckyshrine's "Year of the Dragon" edition.

Would purchase if the cherry-reds came with white LED backlit keys.

Understand.

That CM Storm Quick Fire is a pretty nice keyboard for gaming. It is cheap also, under $100 I would think.
