runesmithie Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 That is one sleek thing I'm almost thinking about spending the 75 dollars for it :| Any other nice keyboards out there of this par?!

Chris Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Looks like a normal keyboard with a little LCD screen and some extra keys. Hardly worth the $75 price tag. It's not even ergo. :? Notoriously Trollish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what I remember it was going to be the cost of a decent cell phone (~3-400) Looks like a normal keyboard with a little LCD screen and some extra keys. Hardly worth the $75 price tag.

Wireless keyboards and mice are usually crud anyways, I'd rather have a wire going behind my desk than replacing batteries all the time ^.^ I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Hulk12 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I spend hours apon hours on keyboard and mice based games and have found that my 1999 AST standard wired keyboard is the best for me. Yes it is 5 years old. But it works like new. Fast key response, compact, quiet keys. It's all around good. I also have a MS natural board I use. It is just as cool (except it has hot keys). And it's a tad bit younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2g2003 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The first one looks nice, I like the blue LED lights under the keyboard keys. Not worth it though. Guess its the gaming age. I'm basically content with just the basic keyboard I have though. I'd rather put money into the overall appearence of my system unit, rather then waste that much on a simple keyboard.

____ Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The Wolf Claw is by far the best gaming keyboard ever. I'll just grab a pic :P Actually, just go here: http://www.extremetech.com/slideshow_vi ... o=2,00.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate wireless. Always have to be replacing batteries, always problems with the receiver, doesn't work properly when batteries start going low, and then eventually you have to throw it out entirely because it just starts dying even when the batteries are good. WHen I have my own house, nothing inside will be wireless. NOTHING. I won't even allow cell-phones inside ;) Runescaper (off and on) since late 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Meh, frankly I'm quite happy with the ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì5 keyboard I bought in an after-christmas sale...

Mr_Putter Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Wow, I'd never buy it. Kinda cool but at the same time kinda pointless. And look at this one: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/7a67/zoom/ Lol, why do they bother putting WASD on there...The only reason people even use WASD is because it can get cramped with arrow keys and mouse real close. Plus there's lots of buttons around. But what's the point of printing THOSE letters over to the side, when there's already the regular part of the keyboard. Why wouldn't they just put arrows on them...Seems weird to me. Plus, that wouldn't help anyone at all with FPS. It would screw up people who've been using the same keys for a decade, and there's plenty of keys in similar poisitons on a default keyboard. The only helpful thing would be the circular 1-9 keys. As for yours, what's the point of having it display stuff on a keyboard. Then you have to look away. How's that going to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Mhm, my keyboard+mouse was much more expensive than that keyboard Runesmithie posted. Yet again, I can almost guarantee mine's more confortable. http://www.corante.com/mooreslore/archi ... gazine.jpg But that picture looks squashed... It's more lengthy... But the leather thing on the bottom is really comfortable. When I bought it, I was wondering about the way it curves and if it would effect my typing. It didn't at all. Infact; I found it much more easier to type. -Mitch- New sig to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they just put arrows on them...Seems weird to me. ...WASD is like the default commands for Up, Left (or straft left), Down, and Right (or straft right) in nearly every First person shooter I have ever played on the PC. Its almost like the universal command. Same as "c" is usually for crouch and "space bar" is for jump. And that specific part on the side seemed like it was specifically for gaming purposes. So it makes sense. Only took a quick glance at the buttons at least. R.I.P Shiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 And that specific part on the side seemed like it was specifically for gaming purposes. So it makes sense. Only took a quick glance at the buttons at least. It is (I already posted this keyboard on page 1). The design is speficially so that there is minimal movement between various keys. You look at the keys around it and you got almost every major key used in FPS within reach of any finger rather than having to move your hand across a standard keyboard OFF the WASD position to get to them (or off the mouse). I dunno but I get the feeling that Mr_Putter doesn't play many FPS :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they just put arrows on them...Seems weird to me. I use WASD because it's right there in the middle of all the action.... Jump down a few rows, reload right there, crouch in good position, etc. Although I like to go goofy and hit it up with the arrow keys. I have my mouse click set as jump and the scroll is weapon change. \ is reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
