Gaming keyboard suggestions?

Looking to replace an old keyboard, and want one with backlit keys, soft touch. Been looking at reviews but I remain undecided. I've been told that the g15 has smaller keys. I've been thinking about the Eclipse but the Lycosa apparently has an excellent feel to its keys. Any recommendations or experience?

I've had the same keyboard for the last 8 years.

Some keys no longer function from yelling at people over Vent. Otherwise I'm sure mine would last 8 years too. I suppose I'd have to go to some store to see how keys and layout feels.
 
I like my G15.

But I have the good one, the old blue backlit one.
It fucking rocks.
If you can find one, I suggest you get it instead.
 
if they made analog keys for keyboards i will buy another gaming keyboard untill then i just use my g15 with its tons of semi useless keys.
 
I've been pretty happy with Saitek's keyboards. I've had the Eclipse & Eclipse II. They're pretty durable and have a good feel to them imo.

would plugging a USB keyboard into a laptop slow it down badly or is it a good idea?

Depends on the laptop. I have, on a regular basis:

2 hubs
keyboard
laptop mouse
external hd
joystick
controller
sometimes a phone or other device

all regularly plugged in and I notice no slowdowns.
 
Yeah I really like the look of the first gen G15 but I'm not sure I'd use all those extra buttons. If there was a store nearby where I could check out all three, that would be easiest.

Notice a lot of light bleeding? Brightness inconsistencies? That seems the be the biggest gripe about these so far.
