What would the best Keyboard for a Dad be?

Jack_Carver

Hey guys,
 
I've been looking for a keyboard for my Dad for Xmas but I can't seem to find good ones. He doesn't use his computer much so it doesn't have to be top of the line, but he needs his 10keys and Backlight.
 
I've been looking into:
 
the Moshi Lunahttp://www.moshi.com/family-peripherals-keyboards-luna

Which does look pretty good but is unfortunately impossible to get by here in the EU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Then there's the Logitech K800http://www.logitech.fr/fr-fr/product/wireless-illuminated-keyboard-k800
 
wireless-illuminated-keyboard-k800-amr-g
But its Media keys are freaking ORANGE! Who could of thought it would be a good idea? No one who would buy this keyboard has orange accents on their setup, even though its pretty rare.
And the automatic backlight switching off and on would be a real pain in the ass, having to wave over your keyboard each and every time you stopped typing for more than 3 seconds... I'm not convinced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also the CM Storm Devastator Combo (Thanks to: Archangel1994 ): http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/devastator/

Which does look pretty decent for the price and a mouse included!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the Steelseries APEX [RAW]http://steelseries.com/products/keyboards/steelseries-apex-raw-gaming-keyboard

That I think I'm going with because the devastator has amazing value but is known for having a poor reliability... I'd rather spend more to get more and I have 30€ off so its a pretty good deal.

 

 

 

And that's about all I found, you experts got any recommendations?

CM storm devastator combo. It's really great especially at that price

Definitely not the flat ones, those are good if you know the layout, normal keycaps are better for learning since it's much easier to feel where you are.

Wow it is pretty impressive! How is the typing experience on it?

(I'll update the thread)

My friend has it and I tried it. Friends loves it, I don't but I'm used to mechanical so membrane feels awful for me now :D.

Thanks! That I did not know. He used to be way better than me but now as age goes by he starts to get slower and slower.  ^_^

Yeah I can understand. He's tried mechanical but wasn't savvy enough to notice the much better typing experience, so its membrane atm.

If there were good cheap browns with all that I am looking for I definitely would look into it! But for now I think I'm swaying towards the CM Devastator.
