I need a new USB keyboard. I live in the USA as a programmer. It needs to be fairly inexpensive (not over $250 USD), have a backlight, not be rounded (I like rectangles), is quiet when typing, works properly in the USA (but would be nice to have Euro and British Pound symbols), and doesn't have the backslash key moved to some strange, unexpected location on the keyboard.

Please reply with hyperlinks on ones you liked.

I have used this one, and love it, although I do not own it:

You all should probably add barbedsaber to your ignore list. The YouTube video is a rickroll, unfortunately. Very uncool.

There's no point in removing the link.

A Tip for ALL youtube links:

Do a google search on the URL first, it will tell you what the video is ;)

And why be so harsh on Barbed Saber? He's just joshing around, no shame in that.
