I have Logitech Wave keyboard and its not good for gaming, some buttons stop working and I need to restart my PC and the "2" button sometimes stays pushed in (pistol button in BF2 ).
I know what Logitech and Razer have to offer but are there any other good keyboard manufacturers?

What I have in mind so far: G15 Keyboard (newest version), Razer tarantula.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

G11 if you don't really have needed use for the LCD. If I was to buy a keyboard now, that's what I'd get. My desk does not ike the dimensions of the G15 (old version) LCD opened.

I don't mind if theres no LCD but the size of that keyboard is a problem. If the keyboard is too long it interrupts with my mouse.

I personally would go with the G15, but if you're looking for keyboards (and mice) other than logitech and razor you might want to check roccat out:

I'm not sure about the keyboard but I think their mouse looks awsm, and might even get that when my current one dies.

Edit: Forgot to mention they aren't out yet, I can't find an exact date but I think it's soon.

Zboards are pretty cool if you like the feel of them, but I don't.

ZBoards are the quality of, Idunno, some low-quality stuff. They feel and look like a keyboard from the Fisher Price low-price segment.

Anyhow, I recommend the G11. I have one, and it's seriously awesome. Even if your desk is a bit tight, you can let the macro buttons (that make upt he extra width) hang off the edge. I did that for months, until I got a bigger desk.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'd normally say G15, but I hate the look of the new one with the orange glow. If you like that, go ahead...but orange just isn't my thing.

Go for the Roccat Valo.

http://www.roccat.org/Products/Products/ROCCAT-Valo/

It's a bit expensive, yes... (and it's been delayed a little bit) but it looks like it'll be worth the money.

If not that, the Seitek Eclipse. Everyone I know who had it is happy with it,

Blue>orange I agree. Are there any reviews of this keyboard? I'd like to know why I'm spending 100€ for it.

No reviews, but there's a preview here:

Walk into a PC store that you know sells keyboards. Go in there and try the feel of each one, and see which one(s) you like best - then consider your options. That's one thing the reviews didn't tell me.

I dunno about Saitek, I know they make good Joysticks but every thing from Saitek I touch feels cheap. Its like they are using the cheapest kind of plastic but their keyboards still work good and have functionalities. I'm just not convinced by Saitek.

I picked up the new 3200dpi mouse to go with it. Gaming is sweet on that rig.

I use a $20 Microsoft comfort curve 3000 (err it might be 2000). Works fine for me
Not too big (though the non-rectangular design can be annoying to look at). Plus it's got a fancy-pants ergonomic design, which is actually very nice once you get used to it.

The problem is when I'm pressing multiple buttons at once, some presses just aren't recognized since my current keyboard isn't designed for gaming. Thats why I really need a true gaming keyboard and not some plastic board elmer posted.

Bad quality cheap rip off of a Tarantula, wouldn't go near it. I do however own a Tarantula so I'd recommend that instead
