Best sub-$20 keyboard?

[ironique]

I'm looking for a good sub-$20 keyboard, preferably a multimedia keyboard. I thinking between Microsoft and logitech. Which is the best?

it's hard to say which one is the best since everybody has a different preference..

but i would say that the logitech and microsoft ones seem to be the best.. best thing to do is go to a local computer store and try them out.. each one has a different feel to the setup and the way the keys feel...

one thing to note about the logitech keyboards.. watch out for the f-lock key. it can get very annoying since whenever you boot up your computer, it'll be off my default... this means that you need to enable it everytime that you want to use the F keys after a bootup...

I've put a few Memorex multi-media keyboards (the one with all the little purple buttons along the top) out there as replacements for OEM. They have a pretty good feel (not as mushy as most) and the customers seem to like them.
. None of them have been in the field for much over a year so I don't have a feel for their longevity yet. I get 'em at Best Buy, etc.

:beer: time!

in general, i like the feel of logitech's (all styles) keys. it's really preference on where/what controls you want. i suggest going to a comp store and testing em out first.
