Looking for a really good Backlit Keyboard...?

That doesn't cost a ton. I currently have a Razer Lycosa, but it definitely has some flaws:

- It randomly turns off the lighting

- The indent in the middle is not pleasant for a lap-typer like me

- Huge/heavy USB cable

- The "light-on" button doesn't always respond

- the WASD option is worthless to me

However, my girlfriend has a Razer mouse, and likes the blue color of the keys (as do I), and wants my board - so I now have the opportunity to upgrade mine with no complaints from her [;-)

I do not have ANY need for a mouse (I've used a CH Trackball for almost 20 years), so I won't pay a price premium for that. I definitely don't want mechanical-touch (the distinct click). I've gone thru a few articles online, but they all seem so specific to one model - I can't really compare cross-manufacturer...

So what do you guys like?

    I've been hearing good things on the Logitech G510, so I guess take a closer look at that one. Not sure why someone would recommend a Mechanical keyboard when you specifically said you didn't want one.

    Look at the BlackWidow. It's mechanical, but is what you are looking for. Mechanical is the best.
