Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Well over the course of playing FFR I have found myself playing in many various places. Sometimes I do better sometimes I do worse, but in my eyes it all depends on the kind of keyboard that happens to be there. I know there are countless people who complain about keyboard cb's and problems with the keyboard being the fault of PA problems and what not. So I put it in your hands, does your keyboard really make a difference?

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Of course the keyboard matters, even for masher (some keyboards allow for quad mashing, some don't).
A certain type of keyboard can either increase/decrease your speed, bearing in mind of it's accuracy in terms of registering notes, and sound taps, etc.. They also affect your PA. If you were to play with a keyboard with ginormous keys, you wouldn't do so well now would you.

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Keyboards matter a ****load for 2 and 3 fingered (1 Handed) players. We use a technique called 'sliding' all the time. And depending on the angles and slants of the arrow keys, also the smoothness, we can slide with better PA or worse PA.
It also matters because all of us have or have had the 'lag syndrome' where a key gets left down on the keyboard in fast stream or Jump Stream. This causes, on keyboards that only detect 2 or 3 arrows at once, us to get a multiple of boos on that arrow and completely miss the arrow we were attempting to hit, even though we hit it.

This is a useless poll. The answer is "Yes. Duh."

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Of course, I find the biggest factor is if the keyboards slides or not when you are playing. There has to be a lot of friction

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Yes it matters. If you don't vote yes then you have a mental problem in ffr knowledge.

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
I played on a keyboard from the 80's or 90's and it was fantastic. It was one of those ones that clicked loudly every time you pressed in a key. I can only play on those and a laptop with a flat keyboard.

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Interesting enough, my laptop keyboard registers key strokes just a frame or two earlier than most keyboards resulting in me having to press keys purposefully late in order to get perfects in songs. My fix is to use a USB keyboard which registers keystrokes perfectly on time. Not sure why this is, though I'm thinking it might have to do with the sensitivity of the keys and the tiny time it takes to depress a key until it registers...then perhaps the hardware in place to register the keystroke.

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
Your keyboard is the single greatest factor in the ceiling of your own skill.
The higher raised your keys are from the sensor, the longer it takes to press the key down to register a tap. The more time it takes to press the key down to the sensor, the more time there is for error. Which is why getting a keyboard that just makes a nice sound when you tap it is utter garbage and a waste of money. Getting a flat keyboard, as thin as possible, with the least amount of resistance from the keys themselves will result in drastically increased speed, accuracy, and stamina. Also not using the arrow keys helps too, as the arrow keys are wired differently on keyboards, and will produce a small amount of lag. Oh and NEVER FKKING GET A WIRELESS KEYBOARD ARE YOU CRAZY. |

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
My keyboard is wireless rawr
Also i broke the tabs that prop it up, so i lean it at an angle against the moniter. Unbelievably annoying, cuz it slowly slips to flat. Basically I'm constantly re-adjusting the position of it with my lower palms/thumbs while playing. Yes keyboard matters huge

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
well your avatar is you hitting a bong so obviously you have no judgement.
your keyboard is crucial, but any cheap usb keyboard should be fine - you don't need a $200 dollar kb to be good. just get one that feels good. |

Re: Does Your Keyboard Matter?
I play on some stock dell keyboard that came with an old computer i bought way back in 2000. It still works fine and i play better on it that i do when i try any other keyboard.
