good chiclet keyboard?

Go to solution Solved by TheSLSAMG,

The Razer Deathstalker, Apple Keyboard and Steelseries Apex (not chiclet) are nice.

hi, anyone know any chiclet keyboards with good build quality and a backlight. will mainly be used for gaming and a bit of typing.

 

Before anyone asks iv'e used mechanical keyboards, reds and blues (k70 and some qpad), and they just dont do it for me.

 

thanks :)

Backlight chiclets are hard to come by...

 

Only decent one I know of is razer deathstalker which comes at a hefty price tag.

If you can get past having a backlight, I can recommend the logitech k360, cheap, cheerful and awesome typing experience (if you like chiclets, which I do!)

The only chicklet keyboard I've had experience with is the really thin apple one. I believe it has a backlight and it's build quality should be good.

You mean like on a standalone keyboard?

 

The only one I know about is the Razer Deathstalker Ultimate and that is expensive as f***...

 

But hey: It got a touchscreen ;)

while i will admit their keyboard is very nice, i just don't like the idea of handing money to them, after the whole patent thing. consumer power and all that malarkey. thanks anyway :)

Oh, I could've sworn I've seen one with a white backlight somewhere.

The only one I have ever seen is the Logisys Slim USB Blue Illuminated Chiclet Keyboard. I can't comment on quality but the reviews are mostly positive.
