Looking for a new keyboard now

[iFargle]

Just bought a new mouse (thanks Fat.Clown!) and am now looking for a new keyboard. I'd prefer to stay under $100, but if it's good (mechanical I will consider), I'd happily go over. What I want:

red backlit keys
preferably some hotkeys, doesn't matter where

And that's about all I require. Right now I'm on an old old Saitek III I've had for ages.

I bought a Logitech G110 not that long ago, and it performs quite well for me. I can bounce back and forth between colors and it has 12 "G" keys that you can profile.

I'm liking that one so far. Logitech's been nothing but good to me since I bought my first set of (still working!) logitech speakers like.. a decade ago, I swear

I'd consider a razer keyboard if it wasn't for the ugly decals on them.. Can they be removed? Like these three:

Mass Effect 3 - Razer BlackWidow Ultimate | Razer Online Store
Battlefield 3
Dragon Age

I bought the razer lycosa, and to be honest I liked the layout, but the only reason I didn't keep it, was I got sent the wrong one... It was a Spanish version. but it also only had touch pad type of keys for the play/stop/FF/RWD buttons... I didn't like that feature all that much.

The G110 feels like it should. it also has a neat little feature that lets you lock out the windows key so you don't screw up your games if you hit the wrong key.

Now i'm really looking at the g510... That LCD screen is a bit gimmicky, but the lighting and the 18 G keys along the side look really nice

very nice. the 110 is almost identical, minus the extra row of G and the LCD screen, but the rest looks exact. What I like about that one is the many different colors. the 110 is stuck to about 3, plus variations of the color. Blue/Red/Purple... but 90+ for a KB was too expensive for me.

Now that I have got a mechanical keyboard I don't know if I could ever go back to a membrane one. Seriously, it is a huge improvement to use one. They are not cheap but they really are worth it.

The only backlit mechanicals I see are the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate versions and the Mionix one, but the Mionix one has got some poor reviews.

I saw another company.. I think they're called Max Keyboards or something. I'm a little wary because I've never heard of them And it's $150... If I can find it again i'll link.

Jesus, you people spend some serious cash on keyboards, then again, I can understand why, been playing a few games where I need to hold multiple keys at the same time, and these $50 keyboards just can't do it because of them not having enough circuits for all the keys. Stupid membrane keyboards.
