Just take a screwdriver and pop the windows key off. Problem solved, money saved. I used to have to do this all the time in WC3 and Dota.
It might not look pretty but it works.
Knock over drink of choice. Buy new keyboard.
:-p
Lesson you only gotta learn once. I used to keep drinks and crap right beside my stuff, ruined some things and have better placement and sense now lol.
haha, I went with "waterproof keyboard" instead.
At a place I used to stay at, I put my comp near an air conditioning window unit once to stay cool while I played. It froze up one day when I wasnt home and sprayed a little bit of water out. Fried my monitor.

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up ordering a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate today. My reasons are as follows.
1)I want a keyboard that supports macros
2)I want a keyboard that is backlit
3)I have been reading about mechanical keyboards and now I think they are the best option
4)I want a keyboard with the ability to shut off the windows key
I think with the reasons that I listed above, the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate is a no brainer. Thanks for the information and helping me make my decision. I knew next to nothing about mechanical keyboards and didn't even know that they were available for gaming keyboards prior to reading these posts.

Right now I got a g15. Ive had it for years. Dont remember when I bought it; a very long time ago. Its pretty durable spilt all kinds things on it etc.
I got a g700 mouse too.
Personally I wish I didnt drop so much on a keyboard, or get one of those thats contoured for ergonomics. None of the extra stuff really matters when you boil it down.
I do like my mice having extra buttons to program though.
Also, on the computer upgrade. Me personally, I wouldnt upgrade anything until you see how diablo 3 actually runs on your comp, or at least until a release date is set.
No sense shortchanging yourself or spending extra money doing it now for the game not to come out till after Xmas. If it took that long, can easily build a better comp for same price or same one for less.
I plan on getting a new vid card to play Battlefield 3 because mine is like a 4850. If it runs ok on it though, hell i might keep it too until d3 comes out and see how it runs then.
