Best backlit keyboard for the price?

coletrain06

I'm planning to get a new keyboard and if I'm upgrading I'd like to get one that is backlit.

 

What are some of the best for a good price?

I personally like the Cooler Master Quickfire TK, they are really nice for the price ;)

I currently own a Quickfire Stealth, but I don't see them around too often

Well I meant in like terms of what you're getting for the price, but I probably wouldn't spend more than 50 on a keyboard.

One of my cousins has this:

I'd guess it's probably decent, though not the absolute best thing ever. (And the mouse is probs complete shit.)

Then I would suggest the Cooler Master Storm Devastator from 30$. For 40-50$ I....well, I would still suggest that board (as I have seen others do as well) because it is the best you can get around 50$ non-mechanical + being backlit.

DragonWar or Logitech if you're not looking for mechanical keys...

 

I'm using a DragonWar Dark Sector... The keys feel like slightly heavier and shallower MX Reds...

Just don't expect a mechanical KB for under 50$.
