I'm using a Sidewinder x4 right now.
I'm pretty happy with it, what about you, Krytae?
Didn't need to pay a cent for it; my company let me choose my keyboard.

You're on a gamer/geek site. Sci-fi techie is a compliment. Light up keys is where it's at! Not to mention it's pretty nice for late night gaming sessions.

Loving the macro keys on the side and it looks great with my setup. Took a while for me to get used to it, but after I settled in I fell in love. I love how I can press a ton of keys at one time and they will all work. Anti-ghosting ftw.
I bought it for $45 on Amazon.

Yeah, the anti-ghosting sold me on it. You know, for my really epic coding blitzes...

Hmm, don't know where the keys are?
Also, turning the lights on in the room will help your sanity as well as your eyes for late night gaming sessions.

I'm not sure if you're grasping how cool it looks...

Some like spending as little as possible on their electric bill.
The lights help for finding your computer when it's pitch dark, but I do occasionally need to look at my keyboard when gaming gets intense, sometimes my hand is in a weird position from hitting too many keys. Especially in an MMO.
The only thing that bothers me about my Sidewinder is that it uses red LED's. My case and mouse use blue LED's.

Phe just proved he's not a real gamer. PC or otherwise.
