spilt a drink on my merc stealth, now I have some Microsoft keyboard with media controls for about 10. when it comes to keyboards they are all more or less the same, don't see why you need a expensive one.
I'd agree with Ark, any $7-40 keyboard will all feel about the same, just got to your local version of Microcenter and feel them out. Decent mechanicals start around $80 usd, but will last 10-30 years.
if you can find one of these http://www.cwc-group.com/k4900099.html grab it! i've been using one for over 10 years and i love it, just gave it a good cleaning the other day and it's as good as the day i got it. soft key presses but still nice feedback and travel distance
I didn't know about mechanical keyboards either. Interesting. I wonder if we'll even be using keyboards in 10-30 years. I'm gonna go for a cheaper one at the mo. Think I'll pick up a microsoft 400 - it seems to have good reviews for a basic keyboard. Was looking at the Microsoft Sidewinder X4, but doubt I'd use those macro…
