So the little feet-y things both broke on my keyboard, and I am looking to replace/upgrade what I currently have. Its the HP multi-media keyboard, with hot keys to email, intrawebz, sleep, search, etc... as well as volume, and music buttons.

My must-haves for new keyboard are the same features, in addition: wireless; wrist support/pad; backlit would be cool but not a must; $80 limit.

What do you guys use or what would you buy? I'm shopping newegg, tigerdirect, ebay...

Thanks!

This has to be one of the best key boards I have ever owned. I've had it since the first day it came out and still no problems what so ever with it. I wish they would implement this type of keyboard into a lap top because it is so smooth when i type. Best buy sells it, so you can test out there display model.
 
I've had good experiences with Logitech keyboards. I currently have a Razer Blackwidow because I wanted to jump on the whole mechanical bandwagon, and I have to say I am not impressed with it. Logitech said they are not currently planning on making mechanical keyboards, but you definitely don't need it.
 
I've used my G19 for a while now and it has no signs of wear and tear.
Logitech makes solid products that does not disappoint one bit.
 
yeah I have the Logitech mx518 mouse and I have been very pleased with it... also have Logitech speakers/subwoofer and sounds very decent for a $40 set of speakers. I think I am going to go with a Logitech keyboard.
 
if you are looking for rubber domes, go logitech g110 or g15/19. if you are looking for mechanical and your price limit is 80 bucks, go corsair k-60. I have the k-90 which is the backlit version and slightly different, but uses the same key switches. IT IS FUCKING AMAZING, I dont think I could ever use another keyboard now, except for maybe trying out cherry mx-brown switches, which are the more tactile version of these keyboards(the cherry mx red switches).
 
hmm this is odd, Im looking at prices, the k60 went up in price about 30 dollars, that is very odd, right now the same price as the k90, this doesn't make any sense.

well it looks like frys with the k90 after rebate is 90 bucks, thats actually I excellent deal, I payed 130 for mine and would definitely pay more for it.

Saitek Eclipse is what I have been using for about 6 years now, absolutely love it. I have the backlight on at all times, still works. Couldn't find the version on newegg, buts its this one:
