Das Keyboard keyboards are way too glossy. I've heard of people getting so annoyed with those fingerprint magnets that they actually sand down the surface of the keyboard.

 

If you're looking at a Ducky, good for you. Ducky is awesome. Go for it.

I'm going to put forward what might be a very unpopular opinion and say get a razer keyboard

Cheaper than anything else in Aus, and despite their reputation they do make some nice products.

 

 

Alternately go with a Ducky, best build quality I've encountered all round

There are a ton of different variations on the Ducky Keyboards, I like the black and white one here, If only it came in a tenkeyless model

 

The multimedia functions on both of these are via holding the function key and hitting the f keys.

Is the cat part of your setup? How far did you overclock him/her :p

 

Hahaha that's beside the point. I would go Corsair K60.

I have a cm storm quickfire rapid (blue switches) and its awesome.. and only $65 on Amazon too.

G710+

I'm currently using this keyboard. It has a very heavy and sturdy feel/build to it and the white LED back lighting looks awesome, It is super bright on the highest setting. 

The media keys are fast and easy to access. The scroll wheel for the volume is really cool. 

It has Cherry MX Brown switches which aren't as clackity as blues but still have good feedback.

 

The macros keys are also useful.

I also got a G710+ and love it!  I give it a nod as well. Macro keys can also be pretty useful for doing quick things ( I don't use them in game, only in windows to open programs and quickly automatically type in passwords or use keystroke shortcuts at program launches). Pretty useful for me.

The Logitech G710+ had the potential to be an awesome keyboard. Cherry MX brown switches with white backlighting is a great combination, no doubt, but it has that glossy finish, horrible orange highlights, and, though they can be removed, I personally hate O-ring mods because they take away from the mechanical feel of the board and make it feel more like a cheap rubber dome keyboard; of course, I'm partial to Cherry MX blues, so I dig the clickety clack experience. That said, the Logitech G710+ remains a way better option than anything from Razer or Corsair.

Quickfire TK are great value for the dollar.

[needmorewood]

do they have to be dedicated media controls?
if not quickfire tk or trigger if u want macros if u want. And if u are canadian get it from canada computers they have the quickfire pretty cheap

As a total Corsair fanboy I'd recommend the K60/K70, I just ordered a K95 after I accidently spilled soda on my K90 and basically ruined the entire thing (Incredibly stupid I know, it will never happen again).

I must say I was very happy with my K90, incredibly build quality and super comfortable, but I've also been looking at the CM Storm Quickfire TK Blue.

I would also recommend the G710+ because of its Cherry MX switches and their software. I love their software because it has game profiles that you can download and these will make your life easier when you are binding the game actions to the G keys.
