Since I'm not going to be buying the new borderlands anymore I got a few extra bucks. The keyboard I have now is like 7 or 8 years old, and the keys are feeling their age when I type. I know nothing about keyboards so I figured here is the best place to ask. Are there any for about $60 or so that are both good quality and back lit?

I personally like (and recently bought) the Cooler Master Storm Quickfire TK. The reason I like it is because it is shorter in length than most keyboards, so you don't have to stretch your arms out as much or fear bumping into it with the mouse when gaming. As far as I know it comes in either blue or brown Cherry MX switches (I got the blues). It is fully back-lit. Has a robust build quality. It is priced well too.
I personally use a corsair k70 keyboard with cherry mx red switches. Out of your price range, so i cant recommend it although i love it. Things to know though that I hope will help. I would go with one of the Cooler Master Storm keyboard like Tim734 recommended. The shorter keyboard is actually better in some cases. I do a lot of rpg/mmorpg playing and i like having all the space and key binding room. Even though cooler master is a bit cheaper than most brands I've loved any product of their's I have used. I've never used a Tt brand product but if you are strapped for cash, it's your best choice. For what type of switch, I'd recommend researching and choosing the one that would fit your needs best. As a red switch user I have to say typing can be rather difficult with such sensitive keys.

Rosewill cherry mx keyboards, wont find anything cheaper. maybe.
If typing can be difficult with red(and I assume black from what I've read about them being so similar) I'll probably go with a blue or brown one then. Much as I love gaming I am a coder too so I need a good typing keyboard.
60 bucks, rosewill cherry mx blue

He did mention wanted the keyboard to be back light as well. The Tt might be the best option. But if he doesnt mind no back lit, I've had good experience with Rosewill products from peripherals and even a few power supplies.
wow... i spent $170 or so on a Razor keyboard. it's the only mechanical one that my computer store stocked at the time.
OP, buy the Rosewill.
