New Keyboard

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

If you're considering the Microsoft one get the wireless one, but with the USB dongle. I'd honestly stay away from bluetooth keyboards and mice, I haven't had comparable battery life with bluetooth to what I get with the USB wireless ones.

I have a Logitech G15, it's a pretty nice keyboard and the little screen is pretty useful for system specs (i.e. temps and speeds). If you want a colour screen on the keyboard get the Logitech G19.

It's also backlit.

If your going to go wireless, make sure you get bluetooth! Otherwise you will get lots of interference with other products nearby.

If you do a lot of gaming, I highly recommend you get a wired one.

Other words, get only:

Wired or Bluetooth.

Yeah i was looking at the G15 it was my first port of call, its a bit on the expensive side tbh I could afford it at a push but its more money than i really wanna spend on a keyboard. The microsoft one looks pretty nice but again is a bit pricey, I suppose for what I'm asking for I'm going to have to compromise on price though

Oh, we both just said something completely different. I suppose we've had different luck with bluetooth.

I'd also recommend bluetooth. Never had a problem with it on my keyboard

The cheese stands alone on this one then

It will depend on what he has in the room I suppose, If he not tech savvy or doesnt have lots of stuff. He rather be better going off with a USB.

Mind you, I do have wireless internet, TV aerial, separate wireless mouse ect

[Kieran]

Haha... Maybe it depends on the quality of the bluetooth product you used?

[lazerman]

As far I know, most Bluetooth products are very good, no matter how cheap I think.

The problem with Bluetooth is that it drains your battery life and can only work so far. The best ones are the one which have the longest range basically. However, it is good because it does not interfere with other wireless products.
