I've been using this crappy MS ergonomic keyboard for a long time:

I want a new keyboard but i'm not sure what kind (make/model). I'm hoping you guys have some suggestions.

I'm not opposed to a Kinesis-type keyboard (just for the challenge) or a Dvorak keyboard (for the same reason).
However, what I am looking for is definitely an ergonomic keyboard suitable for gaming and normal use.
What do you guys recommand?
I don't mind if the keyboard is loud btw.

I highly recommend mine.

It's a Logitech K750 Mac Edition, but they make them for Windows as well. Link to Windows version here

Major Selling Points:
-Wireless. It uses Logitech's Unifying Receiver, which means that it's not Bluetooth and takes away one of your USB ports. However, I have had no problems with the wireless connection using it.
-Solar Powered. No need for batteries, this thing will charge and run off of a simple lamp or overhead light.
-Low keys. This allows for smaller key travel distances and (might) increase your typing speed and efficiency. I know I type better on a keyboard like this than one with "normal" keys.
-Extended Numberpad. For work and stuff, it's handy to have if you need to mess with lots of numbers like I do.
-Relatively cheap. I picked mine up for around $50USD, but I've seen them go for as low as $30USD.

Perhaps not the best gaming keyboard, but it's an amazing multitasking keyboard for work, school, and games. No complaints, would very highly recommend.

Logitech gots some of the best of keyboards in this century. Go with them. And Stealth I think we recommend a close model!!! Only thing is I wouldn't suggest wirless cuz I would hate to take the battery out of the keyboards and change them out ever so often. I went corded with this Logitech K 740 Illuminated Keyboard It's almost similar to yours Stealth >;D I right now use the K740. Illuminates in the dark too.

I personally use this: http://www.cmstorm.com/en/products/keyb ... ickfiretk/
with Cherry MX Browns. Look at decent mechanical keyboards, they're orgasmic.

For me, mechanical keyboards definitely seem best. And Cherry series is a huge step in the right direction.

The second page of this article explains the differences in only the Blue, Brown and Black switches.
I've never used Cherry's that i know of, but I've used some pretty stiff keyboards; I just don't want to have bruised fingertips.

Do you have any issue with rigid keys?

I need a keybord with a max of 60 bucks. Any ideas?

JOOK, I had absolutely no issues with the pressure required to use this keyboard. It's grand.

After searching and trying borrowed keyboards, I decided to pre-order a Das Keybard 4
with Cherry MX Blue switches. It ships later this months and hopefully I'll get it a few days after.
For the past couple of weeks I'be been using a friends spare Model S.

Excellent! Now you won't be using that typewriter of yours no more.

Actually, the typewriter you've been hearing is the Model S I borrowed from a friend.
So, from now on....
