Are the keys backlit? If not, Then no. I Have a Razer Keyborad that lights up. And it's only 60$

Yeah I'd take it. Mine can only do Green, But it also has a Cool little key that when pressed, It Disables the Windows key, So when I'm gaming, And I Press the Windows key in Accident, It Won't kick me out of my game.

It's a fucking membrane board that's $99, what are you doing.

edit: I bought this forever ago and It's good, I'm sure there's better stuff, but I can't be bothered to go comparing shit again for an hour.

Razer Deathstalker Expert This is the one I Use.
There's a Better version of this But It's 250$ And comes with a Few extra things and a 4 inch screen. (Razer Death Stalker Ulimate)

But I Use the Expert because it comes with everything I Need.

Price is around 70-80$ Depending on where you buy it.

That's chiclet, not mechanical.

Not worth the money imo.

Kailh Blue switches. Aka Cherry MX Blue clones. I'd take this over the madcatz one.

And here's the tenkeyless version if you don't like the numpad: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 38566&SID=

This one's also good for the price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-mas ... 000gkcl1us
