Keyboards!

Post by vicaphit »

Anyone know of a good keyboard that will allow me to press more than 4 keys at the same time? I definately don't want to spend more than $40 or $50 on it, and extra features aren't required... just something that allows me to press many keys at the same time (for gaming purposes).

I wouldn't count on being able to get one for that price, if anyone else knows of any, I'd be interested too though...

I have the g15 and it is amazing for gaming (well it is a gaming keyboard) but then again it might be to expensive for you.

The G11 looks affordable, but how many keys can I press at once? I heard of the razor keyboard allowing like 13 keys at once (I dont have that many fingers though)

I want something with maybe 5 keys at once. I like to be able to crouch, move, reload... all at the same time. That takes 4 keys (move could be any combination of 2 directions)

I like that professionaly keyboard...but waaayyy too expensive.


Alright, I think I might get the Razer lycossa, it is $79.99, but looks like it will be great, especially since it is from razer

Well, I got the lycossa from my girlfriend for christmas. It is pretty cool looking, though I haven't gotten to test it yet ( I have been really busy).

Backlit keys, user profiles, a nice touch screen for media controls! You can even set macros, but I haven't gotten that far.
