does anyone have any idea which would be better to use for FFR?

[alainbryden]

36. You buy your new keyboard based on how well it would work for ffr.

(The second one, but it doesn't matter, just use the numpad, it makes it easier)

[chickendude]

actually, I ruled it down to 2 choices and am going to pick the one that works better on FFR

and thanks =)

Does numpad actually make it easier? I should try it.....

[hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX]

Numpad is easier if you use both hands, impossible to use if you only play with one hand though.

[altairian]

numpad is really only better for 2 fingers IMO, cause it makes turns a lot easier (and if you're uber l33t like volkov, spins...)

ha ha no. I've played #pad 1 hand for my whole ffr career and I'm quite good at it.

[hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX]

Well then you're hand my be huge O.O how the hell are you supposed to bring your middle finger so far back to '2' ?

[altairian]

he uses any finger for down, depending on the pattern, i'm sure.
I just don't know how he can do a 4286 pattern on numpad quickly with one hand... you can't roll your hand like you can on arrows.

[Freak83]

Middle finger for down? lol I think not.

      middle
index       Ring (4th)
      Thumb

I learned to play like this from playing FFVII on computer.

[Anticrombie0909]

Ew...how do you use your thumb, out of all fingers? God...it's uncomfortable to even try it.

[3rr0r]

those keyoard look ugly no offense go for a nice black one. anything but white and try to avoid microsoft.
the numpad thing just use two fingers and its like a dance pad rest on the 5 if your fingers get tired.6

[Anticrombie0909]

try to avoid microsoft.

Actually, a standard microsoft keyboard is one of the best for playing FFR. The springs respond instantly, they're cheap, and the corners are turned up for easy access and gripping.

The bottom one is the best, thats basically the keyboard I use. It's the best keyboard that exists for one handed plays, a smooth up to down slide to it, very light. And it clicks like beatmania keys, it's awesome.

Freak83...thats like...the worst setup possible. no wonder its taken you so long to get good at this game. '

And...uh yea, microsoft keyboards rock, white ones. they're the best. easily, and make a clicky noise.

Never use a wireless keyboard. yea...just avoid real fancy shit, cause its usually really bad at registering keys quickly.
