Gaming (MMO?) Keyboard

My elderly g15 is starting to smell funny; cheaper is better but what's a decent replacement <$150ish?

18 gkeys & lcd were big reasons for the g15 originally, lcd is probably less important to me these days.

Good gaming keyboard round up:

I use a Corsair K90

Kinda wonky macro software but functional. Mechanical is nice, blue led backlight is about the best of any I have seen. You can actually see the keys in the dark.

If you have other logitech items though stick with one company so you do not have different macro software going. That just becomes a pain in the ass.

I use a G510 as well, but quite honestly I don't really use the G keys much if at all. In fact, they're almost an annoyance if I hit an old macro by accident.

I have a g19s and honestly I hardly look at the screen anymore. After I played with it, fiddled with the SDK got over the gee wiz, I basically don't look at it much. Now I just have my CPU info displayed on it and that's about it. So I wouldn't worry about the screen really, its all about them buttons.
