Are there any really thin gaming keyboards out there? I've been using the Logitech diNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard and I love the low profile on the desk, but because it is wireless I notice that slight lag while gaming. I have since pulled out a USB keyboard and the lag is gone, but its more than an inch thick! The Logitech is only ~0.4 inches and other gaming keyboards I've looked at are around an inch thick as well. I don't want to drop a bunch of Benjamins for a keyboard so what should I be looking at to get that thin profile with a high quality keyboard?

Not really a gaming keyboard, but I've been using a 'Cherry Stream xt' (or maybe called 'evolution' something, anyway: http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/Keyboards/Office/G85-23100/index.htm )for two years now. Was meant to be temporary and was only £20 but not found a reason to replace it yet as it's not caused me any problems at all. I was pretty impressed how 'not cheap' it felt. It has low profile keys with scissor switches which to me feel a good bit better than membrane keys. The body is pretty thin too but feels pretty solid for what it is, maybe a bit over 1/2" at the back (more with the flip up feet) but more like 1/3" at the front. They claim splashproof too, I can at least say it is one half cup of coffee proof (once, and so far).

It seems to be a lot more prevalent at European stores though than North America (over 300 reviews on German amazon) but still available I see, although at a higher price.
