Hi all,

I looked at the selection of wired keyboards with backlit keys at NewEgg, but was unimpressed. They basically had 2 different models. NE can't be the end-all for these things, there must be more specialized shops with a greater variety out there. Any ideas?

What features are you looking for? Is there something inadequate about those two models? I'm currently using the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.

I have two Logitech wired, backlit keyboards, and they are great. BTW, illumination just about demands wired unless you want to use batteries.

It's hard to find one that is not crap.
The cheapest option I would personally consider is Microsoft Sidewinder X4.
At the more expensive end there's XArmor, Deck, Mionix.
I would not get the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate because it only has 2-key rollover which is pitiful at that price.
