Razer Tarantula
I recently bought this keyboard off of eBay, and I can say it was a good buy. The keyboard is wired but that is something I was looking for, most of the other keyboards I have had were all wireless and their range was very limited, so when I picked this up it only felt like an upgrade in that since, not a downgrade. The razer keyboard is very stable, it stays in one spot and there are 8 programmable keys (4 on each side). These are the only keys that have back lighting, I would have liked to see the entire keyboard with backlighting but it really isn't a problem, this is a gaming keyboard and if you need to look at your keys while you're playing--chances are you're not going to do very well.
The response time on the keyboard is actually notably different, I did not think it would make any different but the Razer Tarantula has built in virtual memory for processing and memorizing your macro'd keys. One thing that will take you a day or so to get used to is the keys. They are about a full key to the right of normal keyboards and I kept messing up when I first started using it. I was almost fed up and was about to go back to my old keyboard but I pushed through and I got used to it, I can say that the location of the keys, the size and general quality or them helps a lot. I feel like I can type faster with this keyboard, meaining my previous keyboards were limiting my 'skills'.
Break Down:
Quality : Excellent
Weight : Great On the heavy side but that's good for desktop gaming, this will not move on ya if you don't want it to move.
Price : Moderate This is a little on the high side for price; I got mine for 50% on eBay and it was brand new.
Over View: If you are a serious gamer or even a casual gamer I would reccomend picking this keyboard up, I don't regret it and it was definately worth it.
