Anyone purchased a new gaming keyboard in the last 12 months that they LOVE?  I probably will have about $100 to spend tops...would love that Strike 7 keyboard, but don't have Bill Gates money to spend...

One that I am seriously considering is SteelSeries Merc Stealth

I currently use a Logitech G-15 which has been a great keyboard. You can find them online for quite cheap since they have newer ones out. Thinking of replacing this one with the G19 but I think the 510 is in your range.

I bought a G510s it's almost the same as a G15 but cheaper. I love it it's a fantastic keyboard $87.99 on Amazon.

Yup, G510s for me as well. Christmas present...Love it!!

you should check the corsair series they are pretty good and im in the process to buy one you should check it out you may like them

I have used this keyboard for over a year and it still works great.

I has all the features of a good gaming keyboard for around 50.00.

Short throw keys like a laptop keyboard.
Plus it does get clanky sounding like a lot of the logitech keyboard do when they get a few miles on them.

Just my opinion

I have had my G15 for at least 3 years now and love it, never had a problem.  I like the Windows key shut off feature.  The LCD screen is nice, I have my TS up so I can see who is talking.  Just gave it a good cleaning with some rubbing alcohol and qtips.  Looks good as new.

I also love my G15, great keyboard.

this is what i use and prefer  ( Logitech 920-000914 Black 106 Normal Keys USB Wired Ultra-thin Illuminated Keyboard ). I like it so much i'm on my second one and prebought a 3rd one for the future. it doesn't hog your tray a lot and leaves plenty of room for mouse moving. Lights up great for night playing, soft touch short stroke. No fancy keys so easy to use. the last  had a key break off and that took about 4 years to do it.

I have a first gen G510.  I love it. I had a first gen G15 for a long time too, and I still have a second gen G15 in use.
