New Keyboard Recommendations
Right now I'm using an acer USB multimedia keyboard made by Standard Keyboards. It doesn't really give much info on it but it's the one that came with my PC which I've been using for almost 3 years now. I've tried this program called "KeyScan", and the majority of the combo of keys I pressed only register 2 at a time and very few register 3 keys at once. I've tried all the arrow combinations and it only registers 2 at once, which explains why every time I would hit a triple or quadruple note in FFR, it wouldn't register...
So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a keyboard that's not too expensive and also registers at least 4 or more keys at once. The main reason I want one is for FFR and maybe a few other PC games, so it doesn't necessarily have to be super top of the line or anything... thanks. EDIT: I have Windows 7 if that helps...

Re: New Keyboard Recommendations
If all else fails, try the combinations of keys on separate lines (Z,X,J,K), or utilize the numpad (K,L,Num5,Num6).

Re: New Keyboard Recommendations
If you want to spend more that you should, get a qpad mk50. Mine gave me a nice little skillboost and works great.

Re: New Keyboard Recommendations
Thanks for the links. I never look at the FFR General Talk section so I didn't know that thread existed. I also read through the mechanical link thing too so I think I have a better idea now of what to look for. I'm probably going to look right now and buy one, so thanks for the links and advice.

Re: New Keyboard Recommendations
I'll probably check out a local place and maybe Best Buy tomorrow for one. I also saw a few on Amazon I liked too since your link reminded me to check on Amazon. That one is nice, but the keys are too fat IMO since I'm really used to the flat keys now. So I'll probably look for a mechanical one with smaller or comepletely flat keys like I have now.

Also you probably want to inform yourself on the different kinds of switches before you buy a mechanical keyboard. http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/me...e#post_6009482 |
