If you get a palm rest, you can use it with any keyboard. Backlit's either come at a cost in that the board will be made cheaper and therefore crappier, or you pay for a good board with backlit keys and it costs alot. I dont really understand the design aspect. A keyboard is a keyboard.
 
Sounds like you are like me. Im a sucker for gaming keyboards and things like that. I love backlighting, macro keys and all the gimmicky things that make them look cool. The two keyboards I have are the Logitech G510 and the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and I rotate between them every few weeks for a change of pace but find myself on the Razer a lot more because I love the feel of Cherry Blues.

Logitech has the G710+ which is a mechanical but with backlighting and most of the features of the G510 and G19 but no LCD screen. I actually like the LCD because while its kind of cheesy I use it often either with the stock CPU/RAM meter or the FRAPS applet that not only displays the current fps but also a real time graph which is kind of useful. After hitting a new overclock, Ill use the Core Temp applet to monitor temps in game.

I don't know of any other new keyboards coming out with backlighting and such because manufacturers usually wont comment on products yet to be released. There were several trying to get info out of Logitech on their forums about if they were coming out with a mechanical G510 (which would be the perfect keyboard IMO) but they kept saying no comment right up to the time the 710+ was released.

i would prefer the simple style of a leopold keyboard anytime over a gaming keyboard. The backlight is more annoying than helpful (i never look at my keys anyways) and the macrokeys make it look completely overloaded. They are also useless for anyone who isnt into wow.
A palmrest you can buy from them as well.
I havent liked a single corsair keyboard yet. They look scarred and cheap.
But that is all personal preference of course.
 
I look at my keys all the time. I can type pretty fast but I only use the first 2 fingers of each hand. What can I say, Im a beer truck driver, not a professional typist. :D

The backlighting is useful to me cause my computer room is usually dimly lit and when staring at the bright monitor then looking down to find the right key every once in a while, the backlighting really helps. Plus it looks cool as shit! Like I said, I admit to being a sucker for cool looking gear.

The macro keys are useful for a lot of games and not just WOW. On my BlackWidow, I have them set for volume keys with one being the mute button. I also use them in games as well for some things like in Crysis when the N for nanovision is kinda hard for me to hit so I have one of the macro keys set for that. There are a couple other games where I use it too.

Again, I totally agree that gaming keyboard features are not necessary and mostly gimmicky but Im in this thing for the fun of it and I think cool looking gear with cool looking play pretties on it is part of the fun. ;)

well, okay that make sense. i am typing an awful lot, so i dont even look down at my keyboard, i find it easier to just look at the text directly, that way i can spot mistakes faster.

either i adjust the volume on my headset or i just use a macro like shift+f8. not having macro keys doesnt mean you can't have macros :D

you know you can remap keys, right?

Don't get me wrong, Im not bumbling and stumbling alone. I can usually bang out 60-70 wpm pretty routinely but its when I go to hit a number or symbol that's off the beaten path, that's when I need to glance down to make sure Im getting where Im supposed to. And since all I do aside from gaming is post on forums so Im usually starting and stopping, looking for the bracket keys, figuring things up on the calculator and stuff so never looking at the keyboard doesn't work for me.

Yeah my BlackWidow has volume keys thru the Fn+F1, 2 and 3 keys but I prefer a 1 button setup. Mainly I want the mute button on 1 key because Ive got a 3 year old boy that's always running in wanting something or the wife yelling at me from the other room and its just nice to be able to hit the bottom macro key to mute everything. Im not saying these are things I cant live without but theyre nice little conveniences that I prefer to have. I agree with you that too many macro keys are a little pointless like the billion you get on my G510. 1 single row of 5 is more than plenty.

Yeah but in Crysis for example, all the keys around the WASD keys are already taken for the most part. I have big hands but stubby fingers and like all me keys close as possible to the WASD cluster and reaching all the way over to hit the N key to bring up nanovision or B for binoculars is a pain. I can bind it to the top 2 macro keys is a lot easier for me to reach over there with my pinky and hit when I need them quick.

Trust me, I spent the first 25 years of PC gaming with basic office type keyboards and only within the last 3 years started using gaming keyboards so I know how to make due with them. Im not saying gaming keyboard features are necessities, but they are nice conveniences to have and I see no reason not to use them. And again, this is a hobby I do for fun so I like having cool looking gear with cool features and play pretties to mess around with. ;)

i much rather stretch my fingers for a bit and therefore can be assured to have better build quality, but if it is worth it to you to have that little bit of convenience, that is obviously your choice and not mine :)
 
Seriously , i buy keyboard for performance and also enjoying the looks of it.. So a keyboard with backlit , blue/red switch , hand rest and looks cool is enuff to satisfy me haha..
Nobody knows any new keyboard gonna release in August ??
When is the release date of K95 ?? If not mistaken , the price is same as K90 right?
 
I don't think manufacturers talk about their upcoming products that much if at all. Like I said, Logitech has said they don't comment on upcoming gear until its released so Im sure other manufacturers are the same way as I never seem to hear about any new keyboards or mice until after theyre released. I could be wrong but I cant remember any of them.

According to Aria you can order it just now, sticking point is that it is £140 here/ Heck even the k70 is more expensive than the original k90. Corsair might have just priced themselves out of the market this time.

£140 is too much for me , i did not prepare so much budget.. I think I'll just get a Gigabyte Aivia Osmium is enuff..
 
that's no bullshit statement, that's logic. the more bling a keyboard has, the more you have to pay and the more can break.

I've never once had a keyboard break on me. What are you possibly doing to cause damage? You're just being elitist, what keyboards do you own?

EDIT:

That's a great keyboard for the money. I've got one.

yea i am being elitist, i dont see much of a problem with that. of course it doesnt mean that they will break, i am just saying that if you have a bunch of extra keys and LEDs and pay the same price they must save that money somewhere. also a keyboard with a broken LED would drive me mad.
Haven't owned a whole lot of keyboards yet, to be honest only one that actually has a name, but i will be getting a leopold keyboard soon.
but i got a good story to back my theory up. my current keyboad is a tT.esports challenger, there are multipe versions of it. i got the basic version of course and a friend of mine got the ultimate bling version. the keys of the ultimate version are sloppier, it feels like a 10$ keyboard, while the normal version does really well for a membrane keyboard for 40$. there are 20$ difference, you get bling and bonus haxor keys, but the keyboard itself is worse than a keyboard with almost no features.
 
Everybody is a snob about something and some are keyboard snobs/purists. I've owned a bunch of gaming keyboards and have never had a quality issue. I love my BlackWidow so much that I bought a 2nd one after my little boy fried my first one with a cup of juice...and I'm sure it would've fried it even if it were a $200 Filco. As much as I understand snobdom I do crack up over the keyboard purists and cracks that I'm some kind of poser because my keyboard has backlit keys. :D
