what are your favorite keyboards and could someone help me find a cheap low profile keyboard with volume options, with also a mute button? im currently using a old shitty block dell keyboard that i got back in 2004. it gets the job done, but it needs to be replaced ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/YW1HM.jpg) Poll: high or low profile? high?

Just use what you're used to. I find those extravagant keyboards from razer or steelseries to be of less quality, and too bulky for my taste. As long as it's qwerty and has a numpad I'm fine with it. I don't need flashy lights or anything to type or play a game. Headphones are another story altogether though. I love my bose headphones. If your heart is set in stone of upgrading, go to bestbuy or a similar store and find one that you like. Type away or spam 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a on the display keyboards and find one that you enjoy the most. If you're heart is set on LED lights and macro keys, then go to newegg.com or tigerdirect.com and find one that suits your needs/desires/price/specs range. | ||

i have dr dres studios myself and they are amazing i c ur point i have gotten used to a low keyboard becasue it is alaround smoother for me and it doesnt make a lot of noise when my roomate is around. Although, when i went to walmart, and bestbuy, all their keyboards are around 50, 60, 70 dollars, and all i want is a simple low profile keyboard, a site of which keyboards are sold would be nice. | ||

I got a dell in early 2003 and it didn't come with the keyboard pictured above. I got another dell in 2007 and it did. Still using it.... home keys are worn down so that I can barely feel the pieces that stick out, and spacebar has a huge smooth spot from my right thumb, and it's full of crumbs/etc, and other quirks, but it still gets the job done and it's the keyboard I'm used to since 2007 broodwar so it will be a pain for me to upgrade. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/TllyX.jpg) Microsoft Sidewinder X4. Have had this for like almost a year now and now complaints what so ever. Someone might think its wrist pad is useless but i havent used one so don't know about that. It must be one of cheapest gaming keyboards. At time i bought it was 44 eur. | ||

I could be way off perhaps. I just have an old old Dell computer with the exact keyboard. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/gLfte.jpg) For low profile I have a compact Apple keyboard. Its rubber dome, but so low profile I don't get the "did I actually press the key?" feeling that annoys me about rubber dome. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/pyn3H.jpg) | ||

I like mid actually, high gets annoying but low (the apple keyboard, I have one too T_T) is almost impossible. Using a microsoft wireless keyboard 6000 v3. works pretty well but using the F keys are impossible | ||

Spilled some water on it and the space stopped working so now I macro'd it on S1 and it's a pain but it works. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.inventorycn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Dynex-Multimedia-Keyboard-DX-WKBD_01.jpg) That's what I use. If you like the feel of your old keyboard, I got this for my laptop so I can still use the f keys for starcraft, and to have a better keyboard overall for other games. I don't use the media buttons but you can see it has all the volume controls, etc. The best buy link above says usb capable but the one I have is just a chord (and it had been a little cheaper; I think I got it on sale or something). edit- oh, this isn't low profile though. This is high profile obv. | ||
