Default Skill + right Keyboard = epic win.

So guys its me again , yet i didnt know where to ask this question or where to put this thread.

, as the title says, i guess that the right keyboard , or at least a one that is fiting FFR is really important.
And here is my Question:

Recently i recognized that my keyboard is losing its precision ( guess because of 2 years of daily arrow mashing) , and thats why i need a new one.
Any suggestions?
i'd appreaciate any suggestions that are usefull ^^
( yes i know everyone is using diferent keyboards and stuff, but i want to get a general idea about keyboards that are good for FFR)
The price isnt important at all, as long as it wont cost more than 80€ ~ 106 US$

looking forward to many replys =)
PS: feel free to switch the thread into its right position if its the wrong thread tho ^^

I have the logitech k120 and it is really good, especially for $20 (I don't know how much that is in germany :S ).

Just saying, there are a LOT of threads made about this kind of thing(several are recent I believe).
You could look through those if you really want to know more.

I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard for arrows, I've been using the same crappy one for a while where I have to smash the keys. My skill has stayed the same for a while because of this.

I've been using one of the stock dell keyboards the whole time I've been playing and feel it works well. All I can see being a good keyboard is one that doesn't have a ridiculous delay and keys that aren't awkward.

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'm using this same keyboard. I handed off the Kensington Slimtype to Kayla and she's making good use of it. I guess I just can't get the feel for a flat external keyboard, although I really wish I could - it makes you feel like you can move so much faster.

I completely agree. The no-name keyboard that came with the computer I bought works just fine for FFR. I looked it up and apparently it's only 13 bucks.

i just ordered the new kensington slimtype, hopefully its good. i dont care much for the alt key so if it loses sensitivity i wont care much esp since i use the right alt key more

Oh we are still getting this threads lol. But seriously Logitech Ultra X premium on this end. If you find one not only is it cheap, but very good to use. It also depends on if your looking for a flat, bulky, or mechanical keyboard. Shit like that is important

Any Mechanical keyboard, specifically cherry mx blue switches. Also, the Logitech Illuminated kb is good, but it doesn't last very long.

atm im using a pretty bulky one , and i just realized that its really draining your stamina , and with that your accuracy, since i need a longer time to press the key to the bottom and get a "hit".
I know it would cost me some time to get used with a keyboard that is flat, but yet i think you can do better with flat keyboards than with big bulky ones.
(just my opinion)

Mechanical kbs are bulky, but their sensitivity is much quicker than a flat kb.

Do the new slimtype kensingtons work the same as the old model?
