New keyboard advice? - SLiiDE - 2012-04-17 15:45

Hey all, not sure if this is the right place to ask but il go ahead anyway Smile

Im going to be buying a new keyboard soon and need some help on what to buy. I dont really want to spend more then £60 and im not looking for loads of features, all i mainly want is to be able to press a good amount of keys at the same time Tongue.

Anyone got any suggestions? Two that have caught my eye at the moment are:
Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard - Silver : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Arctosa-Gaming-Keyboard-Silver/dp/B001LNNODU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1334677012&sr=1-1

Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Sidewinder-X4-Keyboard-Layout/dp/B0037KLSS8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1333644964&sr=1-1

I got the Lycosa, and I like it a lot. Smile

Whats the ghosting like on it? i think the X4 lets you press up to 26 keys, and that sounds tempting to me aswell as all the extra macro buttons xD

All I know is that I sometimes have problems with pressing multiple keys on LFS, but that's because I'm a keyboard driver.
Haven't seen a problem in any other games so far.

I used to have a lycosa (backlit arctosa basically), but I had to get rid of it because of the problems I had with it. The touch panel would think I was holding down next, forcing me to pull it out and plug it back in and even sometimes that wouldn't work. Sometimes the keys would 'stick' meaning I would press a key, let go of it and it would think I still had it held down. Again, that was a pull out and plug in job I would get either of those problems at random and quite often. In the end I replaced it with a G510.

Logitech G510 ftw! 18 custom GKeys with 3 settings, so 54 custom keys is pretty handy in LFS!

I love the Apple Keyboard because of the simplicity and the ease of use. It works well with Windows.

I'd recommend the Logitech G11 since thats what i use. Because of the many G keys and 3 modes, you can have tons of binds, which is pretty useful, as Ash also said.
