New Keyboard

I have a Saitek Eclipse III keyboard atm and while its a nice keyboard the r, y, shift and ctrl keys are pretty tempramental which gets on my raving titties. I want a new one but my budget is tighter than a duck's arse. It needs to have media keys (pause, play, back, forward, mute, other keys would be a bonus) and a blue backlight to match my mouse and case. I know the saitek eclipse II is an option, what else is there for under £35?

Thanks in advance :)

I managed to get a Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 7000 Keyboard/Mouse for £35 off eBay new. It's an £80 deskset if you can get it cheap. I highly recommend it, absolutely love it :)

Wouldn't recommend anything wireless especially if you're gaming.

Same I never really considered it tbh

this one looks pretty good not sure though
or this one for £37 online @ pcworld <--- I would go for this

I'd recommend a wireless Microsoft keyboard. I had one, a Microsoft wireless comfort keyboard. Best keyboard I've ever had, batteries lasted for well over 1/2 a year. I was sad to see it die.

Agree with HotelUser. My Microsoft wireless batteries have lasted ages and the mouse is rechargeable on its own base, so no need to worry about that. :)

Are they backlit though? I'd prefer it if they were tbh :)

Nah, they're not backlit :P

the sidewinder x6 is but it's red then amber on the num. pad, it is adjustable, not sure what you can change though??
