What kind of keyboard do you use?

Truly a marvel, as I've spent up to $100 on other keyboards that turned out to be pieces of crap.

Unfortunate mine keybaord has ghosting so i need to use numpad :S, but it was a keyboaord that cost me less than 20 euro (26.38 dollar). So that is really cheap ass... :P.

Hey now, not all that glitters is gold. I've payed a lot of money for some really fancy keyboards (Razer Tarantula for one, another had a visual display up on top, that cost a lot too). Both sucked for rhythm games, and my Razer's keys even started sticking after about two weeks of use!

My generic KU-1060 model on the other hand costs like ten bucks on Ebay and is pure gold for gaming. Cost is a poor predictor of performance as far as rhythm games go, and I've found that trial and error is the only way to really determine what works best for you. Not all keyboards are created alike, and many expensive ones don't seem to be suited for rhythm gaming, as far as my personal experience goes.

Yeah, indeed. I just bought a new desktop begin this month and didn't want to spend much on a keyboard so the Logitech K200 was the best solution from what i red on the forum here.
Somehow the numpad keys are a little heavier, but they more comfortable for me .

BTW i'm also a one hander .

Hey, if that works for you then great. I suggest my current model simply because it can handle hands and quads with ease, which is something you will need to worry about when you get better at the game and start playing more difficult files. Plus, the flat keys make it easy to slide your fingers, a must to handle streams above the low 200-bpm range.

And yeah, I know. I'm always happy to give advice to a fellow one hander at the game.

Razer Lycosa (Mirror Edition)

I do wish I had gone with the logitech though as these ones have problems.

Is the razer arctosa any good for ffr? Thinking about getting it.

It isn't too good, I'd go for the Lycosa instead (Though it has bad build quality, if you want a sturdy one I'd recommend an Illuminated). Depends really, Arctosa's not too good for speed.

Right now, I'm stuck with this terrible laptop keyboard that my mom has spilled water on like twice. (இдஇ`。) I'm jelly of all your lovely keyboards...!!

[mrpreggers]

I jumped on the Logitech Illuminated bandwagon like everyone else, and the results speak for themselves >.> Get it.

[Mau5]

i got the Microsoft Dynex


I got it at Best Buy for 20 bucks and it's so slick and the keys aren't klunky and i haven't experienced ANY lag, i extremely recommend buying this because of the cheap price and slick design

I just recently went back to using my logitech UltraX. Forgot how much I liked using it. lol

I just got a new keyboard yesterday, I forget the brand and model, I think the brand was auo? Something like that. Anyway the keys on it are easy as hell to press and you don't need to press them in that far at all, I'm anxious to see how it performs, I smell a speed boost :>

Edit: Now im sitting here at my desktop, i see that the brand is actually "onn", idk where the **** i got auo from lol.

Gonna try it out now :>

Edit2: It seems there is a slight delay between pressing the key and the note being hit on a song, The keyboard IS wireless, but I never stopped to think if that would have a significant impact on playing ffr.

So, do wireless keyboard have a slight delay? Or am i pressing the keys too early since my brain is used to compensating for a bulky keyboard?


Edit3: Okay I did a little research, wireless keyboards for FFR are useless. But nowadays thats almost all they sell! O well I guess I stick to my old faithful, its not like i wasted any money on that new keyboard (5 finger discount ) though i am dissapointed since the keys on it were magnificant....

You get used to it after a while.

Hey, that looks like my keyboard! I use the same model, but mine is pretty good for speed...I have no problems with it, except that it is starting to die on me. I need to find a new keyboard soon...

ROFL my old keyboard was an ONN.. throw it away.

I use the Lycosa, thinking about getting the illuminated if this dies on me (which I hope it doesn't because this is an amazing keyboard)
