I'm so lost. If i got with a logitech ill probably keep my g5 and if i don't and go with the razer ill go back to the lacheis or the death adder or mamba. i was in love with the log illuminated until i read a review about it having problems with multiple keys being hit (ghosting) and not registering or registering wrong. so part of me wants to go with a gaming keyboard.

well i look to you experts for your advice.

if ur looking for illuminater kbrd, make sure the actual letter light up, not just some pussy backlight
 
I lay on a $5 HP keyboard and a ghetto ass 17" CRT monitor (both from around 2002. Just as Bucky said, all you need is a decent rig. Anything else is just for show and a waste of money.

(That being said, still make sure that your $5 keyboard is black and matches the rest of your shit.. and you really do need an LCD monitor. I'm just an exception cause I'm all hood n shit yo)

This is what I use. I like the macro buttons on the sides. Left hand side I have all bound to primaries (L1=M4, L2=AK, L3=mp5, etc) and right hand I have bound to accessories (R1=HE, R2=Flash, R3=Defuse, R4=Armor). Kind of unnecessary, but hey, why not.

Wireless, seems pretty alright for responsiveness, and comfy to use. I have the thumb up bound to switch to pistol and thumb down to switch to knife. :)

I've had two keyboards for the past 6 years; a normal one (mine's a DasKeyboard, but that's irrelevant) and a "Belkin Nostromo Speedpad n52" for CS:S. Looks like Razer bought this product from Belkin. I can't say anything about the newer models, but I won't play CS:S without my Belkin. :D
