Need Good Gaming Keyboard under 2k

[macho84]

Hi guys let me know the best gaming keyboard under 2k.

 

[GhorMaanas]

if you dont want to buy a mechanical one, and can spend a little more than 2k, then get this :

Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard in India Online. Buy now for Rs.2,193 as on 21st September 2011 - Price, Features, Reviews, Specifications, Photos, Videos | BuyThePrice.com

a couple of people have bought it here on TDF. check the later pages of the 'latest purchase' thread. has got good red backlighting, anti-ghosting tech, etc.

Extend ur budget by 0.2k and get Razer Cyclosa Bundle.

Under 2k only this: Flipkart.com: Steel Series Keyboard Merc Black: Keyboard

For 2.2k:
Razer Arctosa
[+VE: Turn Win-key off; -ve: No backlit]

Microsoft Sidewinder x4
[+ve: Macro keys, anti-ghosting, backlit]

For 2.4k: Ttesports Challenger Gaming Keyboard
[+ve: Great looks]

IMO, increase your budget by 1.5k and get Logitech G110 for 3.5k... Its the best buy under 4k. It also has backlit, macro keys, can turn win-key off. A -ve point is that backlit is available in Red-Blue spectrum only, but does that really mater?

+1 for Siderwinder X4.

I need backlight i felt its a must for night . Not especially for gaming but would be nice to have. But tell me is that any way i can quick turn the light off. As i used to schedule downloads all nights dont want to blow all the time.

 

[aniket.cain]

The backlighting can be turned off in X4.

then you have only one choice: Microsoft Sidewinder x4

X4 is the best you can buy at this price.
Pros:
1. Backlit keys.
2. Macros.
3. Anti-Ghosting.
4. Looks sexy.
5. Low travel keys (might be a con for some).
6. Solid Build quality.
7. Total VFM.
Cons:
None that I can really think of.

Looking at these keyboards, I guess G110 is not the best

Microsoft Sidewinder x4

 

[GhorMaanas]

@mithun : you can find solace in the price you paid for X4. you would've to shell out more than 1k for a backlit challenger

@nipun : nice find indeed !

[Nipun]

Its available in letsbuy?

online reviews said it has 2 years warranty... but those were not Indian reviews..

Flipkart has also not mentioned warranty, but I have mailed them asking about the same.. Lets see what they reply..
