Ha, the dirty keyboard up there looks quite a bit like mine. Dear god I need a new/cheap one...

Re: Which Keyboard To Use?

old used ones are the best from my experience. The most recent keyboards I've tried playing on can't handle the input required for any song difficult or above therefore making it hard to even manage to pass, especially if you get to parts with lots of 16th notes, but my current best keyboard is a noname brand I got used years ago when I built my computer. It's quite loud when you hit the keys making it easier to listen to the clicks which makes it easier to combo. Also it can handle enough input that I can manage to play master/guru songs and pass without lag. Not to mention in the 5 years i've had the keyboard, it still works just as good as new.

Go for second hand/used keyboards when you can find them!

Any usb keyboard will do because usb is so much faster then the regular ps2 keyboard so you don't have to worry about pressing too many keys at ounce.

I'm using a Dynex DX-MKB101. I hate it because no matter if I'm playing spread or arrow keys, the buttons stick down. (Sorry no pic avaliable...)

Re: Which Keyboard To Use?

I use a Logitech G11, works really nice, looks really nice, but the only complaint I have is that it's gigantic, hard to get around lol.

Every key lights up so at night and you don't know where the keys are, just look down and the keys are lit up. Also, this kb was made for gaming purposes so it can withstand a ton of keypresses at once. The keys feel weird at first but after you get used to them, you can easily play ffr without any problems. The arrow keys feel weird also so I would only advise buying this unless you play spread. It's hard on index.

mines a Compaq KB-9965 ( no pic ) and it sucks, you have to actually hit a the keyboard really hard just to type in, playing FFR is the worst >.<

I'm very highly considering that one.
Either that, or one with Flat keys that glow at nighttime to make it easier

Re: Which Keyboard To Use?

I really need a keyboard myself, does anyone know if the razer tarantula or the das keyboard is better for ffr and sm? You know of any better keyboards under the 100$ range? I've been looking for over a year for a good keyboard and it's really frustrating searching not knowing which ones are really better for this type of game so any input would be greatly appreciated. The logitech and dell keyboards look like rather cheap keyboards compared to these but if they're not then please tell me otherwise. FYI, I have a microsoft and a regular logitech elite keyboard and the both suck for speed and accuracy, almost makes me wanna quit it's so bad. Thanks.

Edit: Can the razer tarantula do extremely fast patterns accurately in SM (eg. 340 bpm 16ths?) Can the das?

Re: Which Keyboard To Use?

Does anyone else have Razer Tarantula? I am thinking of getting it, but leery of dropping almost 80 bucks on kb. How hard is it to press the key compared to standard kb? any other feedback?

What I am worried about is. I know it has less travel time between key presses but what is the resistance like compared to say logitech elite? I definitely can tolerate logitech elites resistance but if its anything higher, it would be pretty bad.
