Im trying to hunt down a backlit keyboard that suits my needs. Everything I seem to find is a different combination of the good not justifying the bad.
The primary features Im looking for are;
- backlit + be able to assign individually backlit keys (different profiles is a bonus)
- buttons that arent poorly designed/tacky to use
- a backspace key thats a default size (been using a KB with a tiny backspace key, most irritating thing in the world hitting Home instead all the time
- straightforward design, something like the G15 is tacky and useless to me
The only KB I like that I can find which can individually assign keys is this but I cant seem to get my hands on the white model or the numpad, and they are only available through ThinkGeek it seems. I may settle for the black model if theres no alternative.
I like the Razer Lycosa, but the backlit scheme was very poorly thought through. I like the Saitek EclipseII, but the keys are poor, and no individual lighting.
Price doesnt concern me (except when it comes to this insanity), so long as I can assign individual keys and using the keyboard isnt irritating.
You guys know of any interesting KB models?
