Which Keyboard do YOU Use for Gaming?

[DDRRE]

Yes, I'm back, and I'm bringing my polls with me!

All those zBoard, FANG, shmang and **** got me thinking:

Does anybody seriously believe he'd get better in games or more stylish because he gets one of those?

P.S. I set this up as a multiple-choice poll... If any moderator could fix this - I'd be grateful. And don't vote for more than 1 option

G15 and G5.

Saitek Eclipse. I have a Wolf Claw board too but I prefer the Eclipse.

Can someone refresh my memory. What is the term for when a keyboard wont allow you to press a certain combination of keys? Like if I press e and f at the same time I can't press r to switch to rockets?

Also, is there a rating to look for when buying keyboards? I don't need anything fancy, I just need something that won't hinder me from switching to plasma when doing a routine motion and etc.

Yeah, I hate those old keyboard with cheap diodes...
And that's critical in fighting games.

BTW since you all mentioned your mice as well, I'll tell you about mine.. I game with my good ol' Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer:

and my good ol' Genius Comfy KB-16M:

As for your question:

What is the term for when a keyboard wont allow you to press a certain combination of keys?

I think it's called ghost keys or something.

I had one of those. Though given the name "QuietKey" it was the loudest keyboard I've ever used.

bri, I think the term is having dead keys. I dunno. My current keyboard does it in sections it seems. If I'm moving forward and either right or left, certain keys like X and Z don't work. Thus, if I'm moving diagonally, I can't switch to link/mini or suicide and do other things until I release one of the movement keys. Yay.
