1.http://www.daskeyboard.com/ great key board i love it, if you dont mind not having macros or being VERY laud, i had this one my wife broke this one on my head :S

 

2. http://www.razerzone...kwidow-ultimate next best thing lights up macros semi laud. little more $$ but not much, i have this one only beacause my computer store ran out and i didnt want to wait for one being shipped to me from DAS

 

FYI having a keyboard that fits your gaming is a HUGE thing if it doesnt fit too how you want to play game or doesnt feel right DONT GET IT, try them out get them too open a box and type etc.... take your time

I usually hate Thermaltake anything, but for you to get a mechanical keyboard (which you want) you need to spend a little more than 50.

They made a decent keyboard.

Great reviews and you can probably find it cheaper.

If you really cant get a mechanical due to money I would be willing to sell you my logitech g510 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126100. Only used for about 3 months, has been sitting in a box taking up space.

How loud is the blackwidow? What about the key travel?

I've used a non-mechanical and a mechanical keyboard.

 

Non-mechanical: http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/ROCCAT-Isku/

 

Mechanical: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow-ultimate

 

Overall from my experience I really do enjoy the Razer Blackwidow ultimate. It has a much better 'feel' to it than my old keyboard. Then again, I haven't used as many mechanical keyboards as the others who posted above me, but just posting my 2 cents.

travel is like not even half, its loud if you are taking in ts3 with your mic on while typeing someone will hear it, overall very good key board this is one thing you will not break easy compare to the others

 

i have even dropped soda in my DASkeyboard and still works like a champ(havent done that yet to the BW) but thats how they are made soooooooooooooo good

Yeah, I dropped a bottle of water on my BW and all the keys light up and everything.

 

OP: You need to step up your price range. Not only will $50 not get you a mechanical (or at least a good one), but you should invest at least $80 in. Buy a new, name-brand one for like $80 so it lasts forever instead of some like $40 on Craigslist.

I'm only going to recommend that one because I don't want to name off a bunch of ones on some top 10 website. I like this one by CM.

Ok, I don't know many specifications or brands/makes of keyboards, but what I DO know is this...try to get a keyboard with a media center capability, that is, that has a play/pause, stop, next, and back button on it for your media player...reallllly fun and handy when you're playing FPS games with music on and want to switch around tracks or even in MMOs and on your web browser too, saves you having to click around.

Too late got daskeyboard mx brown, i don't like reds very much (a friend has one in reds) and I've tried mx blues and they are too clicky. I regret nothing these are prefect.

Nice, das is a good company and the mx brown still have good feedback and they dont really click i like your choice. :)
