EVGA Z12

The EVGA Z12 is a great gaming keyboard. You can reprogram any of its keys using the dedicated software, and there are five extra macro keys. It has RGB backlighting, but it's zone-lit and not individually lit. The rubber dome switches are light to press for a quick gaming experience, but the latency may be too high for most gamers.
