Recently my Logitech Elite Corded keyboard died due to normal wear and tear and a couple of life shortening occurances. I started looking for a replacement. Logitech seems to have discontinued the elite. No stores carry it any more. The only place you can get them is online. I started looking an different kinds. After some debate and advice from a friend I bought the Saitek Gamers Keyboard.Its amazing. Comes with a 9 button Command pad with 2 different modes. Keyboard and command pad are both backlit blue. Heavy duty. I highly suggest anyone thinking about getting one to do so.
