Default Best / Optimal Stepmania Keyboard

Alright, I looked around previously and I found a topic about the best optimal keyboard for playing Stepmania.



Now I lost the link. And I was wondering.

What is the best optimal keyboard for stepmania? I believe it was a logitech, but i'm not sure if my memory serves me completely.

Laptop keyboards

They're the easiest to press, and barely make a sound.

Agreed. If you don't play on those tiny little arrow keys.

My Choice:
HP ZE Series Laptop Keyboard

It's the actual size of a keyboard, without the number pad, very easy to press, and extremely quiet. Plus, sense the keys arn't elevated, you won't find yourself slipping up on the edges of the keys.

THAT'S what it was called. I read about it in a thread on a0 but forgot the name. Apparently it's very good and popular. How much is it and where can you get it?

Basic Logitech white keyboard.

Price: $20

Simply turn Num Lock OFF and it now registeres Quads and Triples with no problem.

Turning Num Lock off doesn't work on a lot of keyboards. Mine included. (I play spread so it doesn't affect my though).

Get a black Dell keyboard, they register triples and quads fine, and they last a looooong time.

I actually tried to get one from Dell but they have very unorganized customer service and they ended up not sending me anything but spammed my e-mail like mad.

So you are saying you 3 are the best in the world? I seriously doubt that.

Smashman, to answer your question on where to get the keyboard, google it.

That it why I SPECIFICALLY mentioned a standard Logitech keyboard. It's CHEAP and it works perfectly.

I use a Logitech one... I'm not sure what it's called but it has a slogan like "Work, play, communicate"

Ohyeah and when you push more than 3 arrow keys on the keypad it lags and makes a little beep sound.

My keyboard is fine.. and it's a 15 dollar microsoft keyboard. You don't need that good of a keyboard, you just need to be good at the game.
