With some of the points he gave, I think he would prefer a mechanical keyboard.

However, if the illumination is important, then have to get the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite version which will cost pretty much more.

Thanks for the fast reply guys(sifu)..

So heres my list now:

microsoft x6 (i think i tried this before, it doesnt have that tilt function?)
Razer Blackwidow Expert ( No back-light.. hmm )
Logitech Illuminated kb ? emm is this referring to any model such as G11 or G15?
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite

Actually i have never tested any "mechanical" KB before.. is the feel that really significant? I just dont want that
feel of the laptop built in keyboard, i really dislike that kinda of feel lol.

Do you guys know roughly the pricing for those above? But i still could google them later..

Any other suggestions would be appreciated sifus.. thanks  notworthy.gif

Retail price:
Microsoft X6 - Not sure
Razer BlackWidow Expert (no illumination) - RM299
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite (with illumination) - RM389

Of course you can still get discounts from certain sellers. laugh.gif

Mechanical keyboards are said to last longer. Since you wanted a more durable and longer lasting keyboard, I think should really consider a mechanical keyboard.

thanks a lot guys..
I saw the Alienware keyboard. In garage sales got someone selling the keyboard and mouse below 400, do you guys think its worth it? because
im searching for a good gaming mouse and mousepad aswell.
Anyone using this type of Kb?

Alienware, while the brand is very well-known in mobile gaming laptops, if you ask me then I would say I wouldn't invest in their gaming peripherals. Maybe I don't quite trust them yet, there isn't a lot of demand for their gaming peripherals also as far as I know. sweat.gif

i've always cover my keyboard at night before sleep with old cloth. but everyday the dust seems to be increasing in between the buttons where we cant really reach to clean it. what do you guys use to clean the space between the buttons?

There's always the CyberClean product. laugh.gif

+ the mid of the keyboard lack support, thus making it kinda sink down. Otherwise, colourful backlight.

TactX headset, much cheaper than 5Hv2  icon_rolleyes.gif

Not too keen on Alienware's gaming peripherals. Maybe it's just me.. sweat.gif

You definitely have many and the right tools to do the appropriate job. I suppose your gaming gears are very well pampered. laugh.gif

My small RM18 pack has been used for 7 months now. I think it's worth it.

After so long still reusable? How often do you use it to clean your devices?

Once a month or until I see excessive dust and dirt between the keys.

Alright, I guess I should buy one then. Never expect it could last that long. laugh.gif

Added on September 27, 2010, 9:42 pm

is it good? any backlighting problems?

I know can reseal but I thought that after a few times then cannot be used anymore. If I'm not mistaken, just let the dirt be only. hmm.gif

i already put my blackwidow vs 7G comparison up.
not really bothered with a full review as theres nothing really much that can be written about mechanical keyboards that hasnt already been done.

Many will definitely be asking questions like "Should I buy the BW?" or "Is the BW good?" etc. laugh.gif

The Sidewinder gives a bit of SteelSeries 7G feel (in terms of the design) in my opinion.

Ya, that i agree. Quite sticky. But Arctosa is kind of pricey.

How is the Arctosa pricey at a retail price of RM169? It pretty much suits those who are looking for a gaming keyboard yet don't have much budget. biggrin.gif

But does 6gv2 have the unlimited keypresses that 7G has?

Unlimited key presses? You mean in terms of anti-ghosting right? Just use the PS/2 converter provided. smile.gif

The USB will limit it's capabilities.

When using USB, you can use up to 6 keys plus modifiers at the same time, which is the highest spec limit a USB connection can accommodate.
