Illuminated keyboard for gaming

I need a USB keyboard that has etched, backlit keys. It can be either wireless or wired, but must be responsive enough to game. I play WOW a lot, so the F-keys must also be lit (one of Logitech's Illuminated Keyboards does not light the FKeys). I want to use it at night while my wife sleeps so the keys must be very quiet, no tappity tap.

I favor flat keyboards, these curved ones really drive me nuts. Any advice? I don't want to spend more than about $80.

1	I would recommend the Razer Lycosa. I've had the keyboard for about 2 years now and it's perfect for low light situations. The back light keys can be adjust so that only WASD light up, all of them light up or none of them light up. answered Feb 05 '11 at 01:29 recck 3.2k●3●22●52

Microsoft sidewinder X6, $70 on newegg right now, it is a pretty great keyboard for gaming

It is in fact backlit and low profile…only downside is that its backlit red I would prefer blue but other than that it’s pretty great
