I need a new keyboard.

[dood gone krazee]

Christmas is coming, and I'm looking to get a new keyboard. The one I currently have is a pos dell come-with-your-computer keyboard. The keys are huge, making vibrating nearly impossible. Response time is all good, and I can hit quads and hands and such. Works alright for Stepmania, but not for O2Jam. I have to use a weird setup to be able to use my thumb while playing. It won't let me hit more than two keys at a time with the spacebar. Plus this keyboard is plain getting old. It's noisier than it used to and sometimes bugs out.

So I need a new keyboard. Preferably flat keys so I can vibrate and jack on it, and also NEEDS to be able to hit 7 keys at a time. Needs to have good response time and such. All the good stuff.

Since I have close to no knowledge on what keyboards are good and what keyboards aren't, could people make suggestions on what keyboard I should get? I really want to be able to vibrate - since I never have been able to - and I also want to be able to play O2Jam.

Isaac is living proof you can vibrate on big bulky keys stupidly fast.

Actually, all their keyboards are good.

But Isaac is Isaac.

Lycosa? I remember Xiao saying he got one and was unable to press 7 keys at a time, which I need for O2Jam.

Best keyboard there is. This is not debatable.

best $15 ever spent. i've only used two of them over a space of about 2 years, with the first one only broken due to being dropped :/

BTC keyboard Model 6200c
best keyboard i've had ..i believe i got it from 20 bux

it just doesnt break..no matter how much i bash on it..rofl
it's been at least about 10million hits(almost 3 yrs)+ by stepmania+ffr+research papers

and not one key is broken.. and the sensitivity is as new

mind you i press pretty hard :/ so letters worn off on some keys from sm
btw..you dont get the gtfo key sry :P

itt almost everyone reveals that they have no idea what makes a good keyboard

If a person wants a good keyboard but doesn't have the cash to drop for the Das, the best alternative is a Logitech like Mr. Bob said. Good quality and relatively inexpensive. Probably the best keys too, aside from the click-clack you can get from the hard mechanical switches that they don't really make anymore.

ps enjoy your hand and wrist pain using your shallow, flat keys

I've got 2 just so that I can have extras.

Amazing--can't do better than that for price-wise. Not very shiny--no backlighting =/ Still epic--even small enough to take with you in like a backpack if necessary, I guess.
