I have limited desk space and I'm planning on purchasing a new keyboard to go with my desktop build. I need a keyboard that doesn't ghost and have picked out the Razer Arctosa, but I'm concerned about the portability of it since I need to put it away and stow it in a cabinet when I'm working on something else. (No wireless keyboards that don't ghost. )

What do you guys do/how do you guys manage your keyboards when you want to put it back? I don't have a sliding tray on my desk so I have to store it in my cabinet when I'm not using it, and this may happen multiple times in an hour.

dont go for a wireless anything if your planning on gaming. you could just get a USB extension cable and have that leading to the top of your desk and plug the keyboard into there, from there it would be easy to remove the keyboard without having to go round the back of your pc to unwire it. that is what i do with my usb phone charger

Genius idea. :) +Rep

Plugging from the back of the desktop leading up from behind the desk to the keyboard, or from the front of the desktop?

look for these keywords "nkro, ps/2, tenkeyless"

Something like filco majestouch/leapord comes in mind, however these (mechanical keyboards) are pretty dang loud pending on how you type, etc.
