    I am looking for a durable keyboard to use with my laptop when I have it docked and just using it in my dorm. I want it to be very comfortable to type on but as well sleek and compact, not a huge gaming keyboard. The limiting option I want is perferably a blue LED backlight on the keyboard so I can see it with the lights off. Hopefully this keyboard could also be reasonably priced.

    I've seen Logitech's two gaming backlit keyboards but they look a little big but the smaller one has a nice price.

    Thanks in advance.

    Personally I love my G15 keyboard, but if you're looking to save space it's definitely not for you. It's a large keyboard and takes up a lot of desk space. The G11 is the same size but without the LCD.

    The Saitek Eclipse keyboard is backlit and a bit smaller. It gets great reviews and you can get it for ~$50.

    There are a ton of gaming keyboards that are smaller and backlit that are very reasonably priced. Xoxide has a large selection at pretty good prices, here.

    I'm using an external small USB keyboard for heavy duty use. The laptop's keyboard never be used because of the weak quality. The keyboard is also put in the laptop bag because it's small size. no any thing feel bad.......!!
