I have a logitech y-su45 keyboard which is I think the cheapest logitech keyboard out there. It's worked fine except after about a year or so I've noticed the number keys getting really really loose and flat thus requiring more effort to press and sometimes straining my hand. I wanna get a replacement and so far I'm looking at the Cherry G83-6104

http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/keyboards/Desktop/Business_Keyboard/index.htm

I think I've used a similar cherry keyboard before and it felt fine. I don't want a mechanical keyboard because of the price and that I don't wanna be "spoiled" by mechanical keyboards so when I go to pc rooms or something I won't be able to play normally. Has anyone tried this keyboard and provide some feedback. What are some other options I should look at?

My main criteria is just easy to press keys that bounce back and don't wear out. Thanks

You may find a keyboard such as this crafted from the depths Mordor.

Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Great service and a SUPERB keyboard.
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

Wow, with the looks of that keyboard you posted... You might as well just go buy the cheapest keyboard you can find at Wal Mart :\

I honestly just buy 7 Dollar keyboards, I buy 4 of them. Once one of them wears down enough and I swap in with a new one.

DT-35 is in no way in the world worth $60, for that price you can get a Razer Arctosa or something, which is 100x better.

unfortunately, i live only near office depots... which suck ass for keyboards believe it or not. their website is good just not the stores. i'd just open a few boxes and press the keys, not gud at all.

Get this, I have used this things for the last 6 years and it still performs as well as it did back then. Consider that I average 300k to 400k keys a day (with obviously more on weekends) this is very good. I have taken the keyboards apart many many times and clean them (just wash with water and stuff, this thing takes everything you throw at it) and its very easy to disassemble and reassemble. The cable is quite long as well, making it easy to hook up to the computer. The keys have not faded at all after all these years and aside from the small rubber feets underneath the board, everything is still there and its as good as new. I use my keyboard on a wooden surface anyway so the missing rubber feet doesn't really affect me. If given a choice I would actually pick this keyboard over many so called "gaming keyboard".

If you do decide to get this keyboard and don't like it, I'll even buy it off of you since I could always use another one (many comps around the house, only 1 of these and the other keyboards suck).

as long as the keys are not placed in awkward positions, I honestly don't see the importance of keyboard.
