Keyboards - decisions decisions

[Archer]

My current keyboard is starting to die
Going to try open it up and see if there is anything I can fix, but if not, I guess its time for a new one...

So R1000 absolute max.
Must have seperate macro keys (I've been spoilt with my G9 and now I feel like I cant live without macro keys). Or you can try convince me why I dont really need them
Dont care about wireless.
Must have backlit keys. As for the colour of the backlighting, with my new case probably getting green accents it would be nice to have a matching keyboard, but its not super critical.
Did I miss anything?

First!

I vote for the Logitech G110.

Although I don't think that it can change to a green backlight...

The Saitek Cyborg KB can be changed to a green backlight

What about anti-ghosting capability?

The G110 is good but afaik doesn't have anti-ghosting capability, otherwise if you want a keyboard that's got pretty much everything and want to stay with Logitech then have a look at this:

Also look here for other keyboard's I've recommend:

Stalker...

RE OP: What parts of current one are dying?

 

[Archer]

Keys are simply not working anymore. Press and nothing happens. Give it a gentle bash and it usually works again. But too many keys are now not working, keys that dont even get used much so I cant make sense of it. Thats why I want to open it up, might still be salvageable.

Connectors/cord all OK?

Does it work better in a different port/ other PC?

These things are supposed to survive ~5million keystrokes...

Unless a headshot results in a fist of rage- not sure how many of those they're designed to take

Not enough unfortunately

I really really dont like red backlighting :/ Otherwise that would be a strong contender

I use about 30 out of a possible 48 macro keys. Mostly to launch apps, a few in programs, and then very few in games which its probably intended for, haha

edit: started taking my keyboard apart... stopped when I was about to take the perspex out that sits behind all the keys. Was getting too much for a quick night repair job. All keys are working for now though after putting it back together so maybe it got scared
