I am looking for a gaming KB(does not necessarily have to be a gaming KB but any KB that meets my needs). My most imp need is a decent palm rest(preferably soft and rubberized). I would also prefer it to be backlit. Am not looking to spend more than 50-70$(50$ being the preferred amount)

The Logitech G110 is a good choice for around $60. Has a good palmrest and a myriad of colors for backlighting as well as a gimmicky sound card port and a dedicated shortcut macro key slot. If you want a cheaper, but equally reliable keyboard, the Cyborg V.5 does the trick, albeit the palmrest is a piece of plastic and also the backlighting is not even. However it is around for usually $45.

There isn't one (a gaming keyboard) with an integrated soft wristrest if I'm not mistaken, at least not from the major brands.
Personally I'd recommend the Sidewinder X4. Newegg.com - Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard
Integrated wristrest, and importantly a low-profile keyboard - with a short throw (but not laptop) action.
Decent gaming features, backlit, the only true N-Key-Roll-Over keyboard on the market (the PS/2 ones don't count, especially since we're on a notebook forum), in your budget. -

Cost a tad more due to being mechanical but will last you 10x longer making up for its cost in spades.
Can find deals like this - http://www.ergogeek.com/xarmor-u9plus-cherry-mx-blue-mechanical-keyboard-with-usb-port.html -

Aren't the palm rests on the G110 and X4 plastic?? Sont know about the Cyborg V.5, it seems good but i don't like the fact that it has a smaller shift key.

Hmm, i saw a couple of youtube vids in which the V5 had a small shift key, i think that may be a problem with the older models as those vids were old and even the pics on cyborgs website show the KB to have a regular sized shift key. Anyway, so how much would i have to increase my budget to if i am looking for a soft palm rest. I currently own an old Microsoft Elite kb and it has the perfect palm rest but sadly the kb has given up on me.

Just get a keyboard with no wristpad (or a detachable one) and get a good third-party soft palm rest.

Also does anyone know if the Logitech MX Revolution mouse is any good for gaming?? The logitech MX 5500 keyboard + Mouse set is 120$ on Amazon if the MX revolution is a good gaming mouse i might get it. I like that it is wireless and i checked out the KB at a local office depot and i really like it, sadly the KB isn't available standalone. If the mouse is good the price seems great and i will definitely get it. -
