Jumpin' on the Logitech K120 wagon
Seriously this thing is so awesome. The arrow keys even register quads for one handed play, if you're into that sort of thing

I've been using a Dell keyboard Model SK-8115 for years playing FFR. It's great for me because I don't like using flat keys for game play (tend to slip a lot and register tons of random boos). Not really convinced to jump this Logitech keyboard bandwagon, but I love their products. I'd give it a shot if I get my hands on one to try.

I currently have this keyboard and its good but I prefer slim keyboards

I'm currently using a Logitech Deluxe 250 keyboard (tilde 24$), which is surprisingly good considering the fact it looks so stock.

The keyboard is feather light and key response is spot on.

The keys feel between being high and flat.

Can't waitttttttttttttt. I've been contemplating on getting it because of the good things i've heard about the old model. This laptop isn't cutting it for me.

I learned to play on a razor lycosa. I am now using an old off-white no brand thing from the 90s. I have seen no difference in my playing ability between the two so I say keyboard does not matter at all.

Pull one out of a dumpster, you will be a champion.

go to best buy and get a 15 dollar dynex

then spend the time you saved from worrying about getting the right kb to actually playing the game and getting better

If you're talking about this,

it's not being made anymore. And the new version has a wacky alt button that loses sensitivity over time.

I found it last month somewhere online and got it for ~$40-50, I forget. It's pretty good, but not perfect. It seems to like to squeak if I press the keys a certain way, and I don't like that. I also don't like the |\ button to the left of the space bar, it's really out of place and it makes my ctrl/win/alt buttons smaller which I don't like. Especially in games, trying to hit the ctrl button seems very cramped compared to my laptop's keyboard. The insert button is also in an insanely weird spot as well.

This is where I got it:

I guess they ran out, it's unavailable now

Oh, and it was $35.99, just checked the bill. With tax/shipping, $48.

Mechanical switch keyboards are the only keyboards for me ever since I got the Razer Blackwidow.

Cost me $80 (not worth the extra 40 for the ultimate) and is amazing. Mechanical switch boards feel MUCH different than regular keyboards.
They have a "clacky" feel to them, but the keys are extremely light to press. Get something with a Cherry MX Black or Red switch. All the others
are tactile switches. Meaning you don't have to press all the way down to actuate the key, which really isn't necessarily unless you do a lot of typing.
While smashing keys, you're not worried about how far down you have to press, so it's not worth looking into them.

This keyboard is not only slim, but it offers a dynamic FFR-gameplay experience. The touch response is fantastic, and you'll never skip a beat. I think you'll be paying around USD$80 - In Australia, it cost me $120, so you will know it is a good keyboard. I actually brought it here to Korea yesterday, because I can't trust the keyboards here for the official tournament! You won't be disappointed.

As an added bonus, it looks sexy

+1 For having the same keyboard.

Let me join the club !

I had the Razer Lycosa for about two years and compared to the Logitech Illuminated, it's really a third-rate keyboard ; it just fixed all the problem I had with Lycosa (good key lighting ; no driver bug ; only one usb port necessary and no retarded tactile zone that you never touch because of how awkward it is to try to do something with it)
