Looking for new Keyboard

Post by BBloke » Wed Jan 14, 2009 11:09 pm

Well do I go for a Logitech G15?

Or the handy Microsoft Gamer keyboard with side changing numpad that doubles as a macro board?

I've seen Johnimus Logitech keyboard and its nice but I doubt I'd have a need for a display as the keyboard slides under the table top but its a nice keyboard all the same... just need some input.

I'd say anything from my lame dell get-it-with-your-pc keyboard all the way to the G11/G15 is just as good. the only 2 things a keyboard has to have is 1: a normal size, 2: ability to push as many buttons at the same time as you can with 10 fingers :P

Same... except I'm so hardcore, that I've worn the S down to a glowing blue blob, same goes with Left+CNTRL...

Also, early models screen goes blank, and requires keyboard to be unplugged/replugged in, or a restart starts fresh.

Well I have either a G11 or 12, and I got it for cheap in PC World a while back.

Great keyboard and I've never even bothered to use the extra gaming buttons, but with your flight sims, I'm sure they'd be useful!

I need to work through the tutorials. I think the G keys would be excellent for admin commands and binds! Stuff like "SPECTATORS JOIN FFS"

My keyboard's a qwerty, and when I push the buttons on it, letters appear on screen. Is that the sort of thing you're after?

There's a thought but I've not touch a flightsim since beginning of last year. :)
