    Hey guys. I am looking for a keyboard within the range of $60-$70. Preferably with macro keys and backlighting

    Most of these won't fit your bidget, but the 59.99 one has 6 macro keys on there, not sure how many of those you need either. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/gaming-keyboards

    Also, you may want to look into investing in a brown mx cherry mechanical keyboard. They are quieter than most mechanicals, and will never go bad on you. Just a thought.

    The Razer Orbweaver is the newer version of the Razer Nostromo which is the newer version of the Belkin Nostromo N52 which I have next to my keyboard.
    I've had little success using it for shooters, but I remember I've played LoL with it for a while which went just fine.

    I don't think it's even mend for shooters, it's for button mashing games.
    If you're just looking for something with macros however, it's perfect.
    The price for a N52 should be around 8-20 dollars for a second hand one, I don't think they're still sold new.

    Literally anything will work for gaming. I dunno why so many people feel the need to shell out ~$300 for a kb/mouse combo.

    I use a similar keyboard Geneau and I have gotten tired of it. 6 months of use and keys are killing themselves. Just last night I had to take a gun away from the W key

    You shouldn't store your guns near your keyboard, it obviously makes your keys suicidal.

    Too be honest, I've been using this keyboard for 1.5 years now. So far, it's doing fine.

    I would love a better keyboard but I don't feel the need for it. I would like a better mouse, this 3 button+wheel is ok, but I would not mind a few more buttons for special ops like Scyth flying.
