anyone own the logitech solar keyboard? (k750)

[m0de]

long story.. short version:

bought a keyboard 3 days ago.. spilt shit on it like an idiot. picked up the logitech solar keyboard. tried to play FFR and there is a delay which dumps goods all over the fkn place. so i was wondering if anyone has this keyboard and if your keyboard doesnt have a delay.

thanks in advance~

edit:

just so its known.. i did try multiple different usb ports. theres software that i downloaded that tells me its 100% charged. and i couldnt find any firmware updates. so yeah.

Well I would certainly recommend keeping any and all fecal matter away from your new keyboard.

yeah i learned my lesson.

note to self: dont poop in cups even though you have a huge 2 girls 1 cup fetish and then spill it on keyboards.

Holy butts that's an $80 keyboard. Also it's wireless so that might be your problem.
I've been told that old generic keyboards from the WinXP era are the best for FFR. My best scores were on a HP keyboard that shipped with a computer I got in 2003. I starting buying gaming keyboards for other games I play and after that it all went downhill.
Anyway, I've owned three different Logitech keyboards and aside from two of them randomly ceasing to function, I never had much delay issues. So I dunno.

well it was 60$ + tax for me.. the keyboard works great, FFR aside, but still has the issue mentioned above. the keyboard i had prior to the one i have now, which is a cheap HP wireless keyboard, worked AMAZING until i spilled liquids on it. the response time was spot on for being wireless. i improved alot of scores with it in the 3 days it worked lol. im thinking about just returning the logitech, and picking up the same one i had. the only reason i picked up the logitech one is because it was slightly slimmer and looked sexy. turns out looks can be deceiving, i suppose.

the previous keyboard i had was wireless, and functioned correctly. which made me think that purchasing a better brand name (logitech) as apposed to HP (as far as computer peripherals go) would be a good choice, which is why i made this thread. idk if i have a faulty kb, or just a bad purchase.

most wireless keyboards are complete crap because of the delay they have. it should say on the box the amount of delay the keyboard has though iirc. if not you can always check online. as far as rhythm gaming or anything that requires timing i suggest going with a wired keyboard

well the previous one i had worked pretty well, although it makes sense that a wired keyboard would have better response time. guess ill go with a wired keyboard. the only downside is that most wired keyboards seem pretty bulky. id like something flat.

thanks guys for givin your 2 cents i appreciate it.

my keyboard takes up very little space and its a wired keyboard.

Haha i had a keyboard that i spilled coffee on a while back... It had a bad delay for like a week and a half but then i guess it dried out because by the end it was working properly again as if i'd just bought it.

You probably just picked a lucky star with that wireless HP keyboard. Either get that one again, or buy a cheap $10 wired keyboard.
If you want a high-end gaming keyboard, I recommend the Microsoft Sidewinder X6. It's a pretty solid all-round keyboard and next to my old HP keyboard, it's been my best FFR performer. They run $80 at Fry's, but I've bought 3 of them on eBay, the most expensive being $52.

Don't go wireless for things where you can't afford occasional, short delays.

For all your keyboard queries, look to geekhack.

I got all of my good scores including my FGO AAAs with a wireless USB keyboard...
