Wow guys...first off, me and a whole bunch of options...that's just not a good combo, b/c then I'll never decide

Anyway, I really do like my current keyboard...but yeah...it's definitely now crapola

My ex had gotten it messy and thought he could clean it up and removed some of the keys and did something wrong and ever since...AHHHHHHH.
Keys stick...the num lock will come on or off when I'm no where near it...the caps lock is messed up. Sometimes when it lights up to show caps lock is on...it's lower case and when it shows it off...it's upper and blahblahblah. Not to mention randomly not registering the letters and let's not get started on my space bar and how sometimes it's necessary to literally slam it down a few times to get a single space.

So...I want something similar to this, yet...cooler...and that won't be killed as easily.

i own a microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard (the wireless keyboard/mouse combo). i dont have any cons about it. i love the wireless capability. be sure to research places before you buy a keyboard. i kicked myself in the nuts after i found out how cheap new egg sells them.

I dont know if I'd want a wireless keyboard. I mean, yeah it'd save some hassle....but then I'm much more likely to push the darned thing off the desk. See, the cord is for holding it on my desk :D

here's a good choice if you use windows:

:D

seriously, though, a keyboard is all personal preference. Some like Dvorak, some like ergonomic, some like wireless, some like the oldschool clickity-clicks, some like the newer quiet keyboards. So far, it seems like you like wired, plenty of extra keys that apparently do nothing for you but take up desktop space (though when you figure these keys out, you'll realize how useful most of them really are!) Figure out what else you liked about it.

While I'm not going to ask what exactly your boyfriend spilled in the keyboard to make it all sticky, I can tell you that taking apart a keyboard to clean it can be interesting - at the worst, it doesn't work and you have to buy a new one (which you want to do anyway, right?) at the best, you get your old keyboard back. Oh, and it makes you .001% more 1337. ;)

LOL! Now that pic was actually funny :D

I have played with figuring out some of the buttons...and one is very evil and I think it's going to get colored black.
But anyway, see we attempted to clean this and that's when problems began to grow.
Soooo maybe I'm just a moron about cleaning keyboards. I dont know. I dont want to screw it up worse. Know what I mean?

You don't have 4 points
------------
But I do have a question. Where all do you recommend I check out to get a keyboard from? Any good recommendations?

My advanced deductive skills finely honed through public education tell me that this conversation has little to do with keyboards anymore. :shock:

"Where all do you recommend I check out to get a keyboard from? Any good recommendations?"

lol

If you can find one that's identical to yours then go for it. I usually go for the cheapest I can find (that is new).

We have this keyboard for one of our computers back home and it does the job just fine.
