I dont use any of those but I have a Saitek eclipse black with silver keys and blue backlight. Works great at night with no lights on. Not the best tactile feel of the keys but not bad either. Has a nice heavy base too so it doesn't move around when gaming. HTH. A litle more than $30 tho. I think I paid around $50 at a circuit city. (impulse purchase).

Man those looked great. I want them so bad haha. No kidding. But I have to get a good mouse first so I'll just get a G5 Mouse with a good pad for Christmas along with some PC Games .

(Half-Life, Guild Wars, and something else)----> Stuff I wanted to play when I was a console n00b.

Not sure about the others on that page but I have heard the Sunbeams are low quality units and to don't hold up well. I have been looking into an illuminataed keyboard as well and it seems the Saitek, Eluminx & the Logitech G15 are the one's most recommended.

I like the new Saitek Eclipse 2 and I like the Logitech G15 but not priced right in my opinion.

Saitek also sells their original Eclipse for $30 if you don't mind reconditioned http://saitekusa.stores.yahoo.net/ecilkere.html

Ya, since I don't *need* a new keybrd, those higher priced ones are just a little too much for me. I might be tempted for $30, but if they don't hold up well, then maybe not
