I'm trying the roccat arvo. Maybe a little ironic with the three macro keys at the bottom, but I'll see.
Seconded, mechanical boards are amazing to type on. If you don't want to to drop the cash for a Das, although it is worth it if you spend a lot of time on a computer, look around for a computer recycling warehouse. They may have a few in the bottom of the bins.Trotskygrad wrote:

Like I said, the backlight isn't a gimmick. It provides a function, it's not just show. The extra colours, admittedly, are a touch gimmicky.NooBesT wrote:

This seems the most relevant place to put this, even though it's out of your desired price range. Came across these the other day, basically a Das Keyboard with back lighting.
