keyboard for programming and gaming?

[easylifeforme]

Does anyone know of any keyboards that are good for both programming and gaming? I don't know a lot about the different switch types so if someone can explain. Also something that isn't too heavy or big I'd probably be throwing it in my bag a lot and moving with it using it for a laptop. Lastly it can't be too much, at most $200.

thanks

I hear the CODE is good. BTW watch where you post,this should be in the Peripherals sub-forum.

This shouldn't be in the Tech News and Reviews section...

Really any brown switch keyboard would work for you, you could look at the smaller/ lighter ten-keyless from cooler master or ducky.

A keyboard with cherry MX Blue switches that is tenkeyless (no num pad) is probably what your looking for also do you want it with a back light. Ducky Shine 2

Logitech 710+. I love mine! Pretty great for typing, and its just fine for gaming!

brown switches are proabbly going to be the best. i do both and i love my brown switches! if ur budget is slightly tight then go for any of th cooler master mechanical keyboards like the quickfire TK or trigger. if u have a bit more orom in your spendgin a ducky shine 3 would probably be your best bet

This has to be one of the oddest places for a keyboard thread go too...

Agree on the first point, browns would be better when typing into the night, but I disagree about Ducky, which are overpriced compared to the CM Storm QF TK which feels a lot more solidly built. But I still wouldn't recommend the TK (even though I have it myself) as juggling the num lock all the time to enable numeric can be annoying when typing for a long time. And programmers need both the numpad and access to the DEL cluster, which means a LOT of juggling.

Well for me personally, I think it depends on you so if you can just go and try different keyboard with different switches and make your decision on it.
