Yeah I know, it's called bandwagon, that still doesn't mean it's the best keyboard out there. If one of the top players played on a mechanical keyboard, their skill would increase by a LOT. Trust me dude, I went from toml 48p, to an sdp due to a mechanical, I know what I'm talking about.

I actually have a mechanical kb, they are pretty nice kb's but I do worse on it compared to slim. Most likely the fact because it is bulky keys and Im not too much of a fan of them. lol

It really all depends on the player and their preferences. Some play on bulky kb's all their life then they try a slim and do a lot better and say they are the best. It just depends on what is most comfortable for the player to play on.

I have one of the best mechanical kbs (HHKB). Typing with it gives you orgasm but it's not very good for rhythm gaming..

Is that the keyboard you have? I know it has a mouse included but the keyboard could be the same. If it is I'm getting one right away, look at that price

Yeah!
(Well it worked for me but i don't think for you)

So every player plays on flat keyboards because it's a "thing."

Not all mechanical keyboards are the best, it matters on (as Plan_B said) the player and their preferences.

So if you get a certain score on a mechanical keyboard it automatically makes that keyboard the best.

Mechanical keyboards are the best because they last longer than flat keyboards and their response time is better, not just because they make me get better scores.

I was actually considering getting that one, seemed pretty nice.

Re: Best Keyboard to play FFR on?

I think keyboard response time is somewhat dependant on the keyboard, but most commonly reliant on the external factors.
Take in consideration the operating system/CPU load-dependent delay, the serial transmission delay, and the microprocessor task/speed-related delay. While the keyboard is labelled as 'low response time' from the manufacturer, it may not all be true in some cases, if not all situations.
But that's just my 2 cents; it may be true, it may not be true.
It doesn't really matter because I can't tell if it's fast lmao.

Mine:

Cost me about 25 € (should be around 32$)

Got it for more than 2 years now and it's still working fine

Re: Best Keyboard to play FFR on?

With a game like FFR response time doesnt really mean anything because it is your reaction time which is what hits the notes on point. The keyboard can respond as fast as possible but doesnt mean that you're going to hit the notes any better, that is up to the player and their playing ability. This is where choosing a keyboard depends on the players preferences. Many players choose slim keyboards because you are lower to the keyboard and dont have to put as much effort into hitting the keys like you would for a bulky keyboard and can get more taps in when you play.

Re: Best Keyboard to play FFR on?

Hmmmm...my friend says the Steelseries 7G is "Amazing" but for $150 dollars should I really look into it? Anybody used one here? It says it has anti-ghosting for UNLIMITED number of simultaneous keys which is nice but it is also mechanical and not slim. All I play is SM/FFR anyway so should I just go with the cheaper slim? Comments pl0x.

Re: Best Keyboard to play FFR on?

Bumping this because I just ordered a Kensington Slimtype online for $50, and if it's a piece of shit for FFR, I'm going to be so rattled

Everyone that uses this keyboard for FFR and has at least one FMO AAA, please report in
