I want a backlit keyboard black/red light any suggestions

I have the Saitek EclipseII keyboard, and it seems to work pretty well. I've had it for over a year now, and I'm on the PC A LOT, and it's held up. You can change backlight colors from red,blue, purple.

EDIT:
While I'm at it, I wanna recommend this mouse. It's absolutely amazing IMO. Much more comfortable then the other razors that I've tried, and extremely accurate in gaming.

I go out to dinner & come back to find beast-in-progress...

I gotta check out that backlit keyboard too. I guess I'll head up to Fry's & Microcenter tomorrow.

One of the best mice i ever owned was the Microsoft Explorer mouse the wireless one (i got it in like 2002). It was just the right size ( i kinda like a bigger mouse). The razors I've seen have all been a tad thin.

edit:

I found a pic

One of the reasons I like the DeathAdder mouse is because of it's thickness. It's much thicker then the other razor mice. Not only that, but it's curved to your hand to. All around just much better IMO.
That mouse you linked to is pretty comfy looking though. Kind of looks like some of the logitch mice now.

I've been a trackball guy since the 90s. Mice can be very personal.

I actually have a trackball mouse here, but I never use it. Come time for games, it just doesn't cut it for me.

Newegg.com - Logitech G5 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Laser 2000 dpi Mouse - Mouse

Newegg.com - Logitech G7 Black 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Cordless Laser 2000 dpi Mouse - Mouse (nice, works good, but only comes with 2 interchangeable batteries, can not buy individually, Logitech used to have a trade in/disposal program for new batteries, but from what i heard its not worth it, basically in the end you have a disposable $60+ mouse, better off just buying a new one, also the G7's have been plagued with iffy lifespans on left and right mouse buttons, mine only lasted 6-9 months before the left button started to act up)

aside from that the G7 is a good mouse, but its why I switched over to my Back up mouse, which is the above linked to G5 wired, same mouse, but wired, no batteries, and the buttons are still going strong.

they're latest mice though:

Newegg.com - Logitech G9 Black 5 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Laser 3200 dpi Gaming Mouse - Mouse

Newegg.com - Logitech G9x Black Tilt Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse - Mouse

though not a gaming mouse, these are actually quite nice in the hand, for me anyways... Newegg.com - Logitech MX Revolution Black 7 Buttons 2 x Wheels USB RF Wireless Laser Mouse - Mouse

if you have a retail store near you that sell any of these and have display models, I'd look at trying them out to see how they feel though first.

Microsoft also sold a Gaming mouse for a while, haven't seen it on newegg lately, so must of stopped production, but I believe it was called the Habu or something, it was a wired Laser mouse, actually made by Razer for Microsoft (was shaped more like the MS mice your referring too as well, not your typical Razer design), might look into that see if you can find one, try it out, etc etc...
