Well I don't know who David Beckham is but I have two systems and I use
two Das 4 Pro. They don't have fancy lights or gaming goodies, they just type great.

They are some what up in the price range but worth every bit.
Using them took the pain out of my wrist and hands when typing.

No I don't know who this David guy is. I will Google it.

Edit:
Okay David played socker. Why would I know anything about a socker player.

I'm more of a Carlos Hathcock person.

thanks for all your input :), ended up with a very superb CM Storm Quickfire TK mechanical keyboard - blue switch ....... that was called on a lot of sites CHERRY MX switches ?? bit miss leading but got my blue clicky blue numerals and blue back light in the end :eek:

Verdict love it best keyboard I ever had totally different experience just want to keep typing for know apparent reason, I mean like this morning I woke up and had a pot of tea, walked down the shops bought the papers walk back again, ...... there I go again sorry :rolleyes:, if I have any gripes so far, its I have keyboard on lowest light setting and still a bit bright in dark room, cant see a use for other 4 brighter settings ?

even as good as this keyboard is the novel isn't that good so far :sick:

I knew you would like a mechanical Keyboard. I really don't like keyboards with all the lights, but each to his/her own.

In a dark room I use one of these on my keyboards. Just plug it into the usb port on the keyboard.

Amazon.com: USB Reading Lamp with 2 LED Lights and Flexible Gooseneck - Two Brightness Settings and On/Off Switch (Black): MP3 Players & Accessories

wow that's cool got something similar for reading books never used though got a nexus 7 in the end
