Whats the Best Keyboard for FFR?

[2handpract]

I have watched a few FFR videos here and there in the past, and a lot of the people use a clicky keyboard. I know it is hard to find a clicky one for a decent price, so maybe some of you know a good keyboard with a good feel to it for FFR. Laptops are really good for FFR, since the keys dont have to be pushed down with such force and have little to no up time, or time it takes the key to come back up. I was looking for a new keyboard at circuit city and found one that was not on display to the side made by Nexxtech for $20, it's the best keyboard for the money, feels like a laptop keyboard and very very clicky. I have not been able to find a picture of it online so i'll take one tommarow and post it. Feel free to post what keyboard you have and suggestions, since thats whats im hoping to see in this post. Thanks.

The Fatal1ty keyboard seems very good. I was trying it out yesterday in Circuit City, Best Buys and Fry's Electronics. At one point I was going to buy it but I only had $20 on me and it cost $60. Check it out:

I found a picture on ebay of the keyboard from nexxtech, very simple one, very clicky, and very responsive. It's a usb keyboard and comes with the thing to switch it to the ps/2 thing.

I'm thinking of buying a new keyboard this summer. I want to see a picture of some nice keyboards with thin laptop style keys and so thin, i wont need a wrist supporter while im playing. Any of you guys have one of those?

Re: Whats the Best Keyboard for FFR?

When you mean by clicky, it's probably just the noise coming out of the recording device, not the sound of the actual keyboard.

Buy a keyboard which suits you, suits your feel with the keyboard and what you think gives you the most comfort, stability and speed.

Re: Whats the Best Keyboard for FFR?

Laptop keys on keyboards are not fit for me because I hit my keys hard and since laptops have little bouncebacks it feels like I'll break my fingers. The Deluxe keyboard EnR suggested is good for me but I have a similar one but its the Microsoft brand.

I would recomend that Tarantula one... or what was it called? It's a 99 dollar keyboard that accepts up to 10 keys at once.... Booflag anyone?

Mind you I'm still on a 4$ keyboard that only accepts 2 keys at once. :3

By clicky I mean like the old fashion IBM keyboards, has nothing to do with a sound recording.

From what I hear, this is a good keyboard. I believe dj Swabber uses it, and I think -Laggy- uses it too. (Laggy is one the best stepmania players in the world if you don't know who he is)

I just remember Tayfun having this keyboard.
Probably others.
You probably wont end up getting it due to the price ;/.
I just had that much $$$ laying around at the time.
Oh the keys are flat, and the taps are gorgeous once worn in.

A mac keyboard that can read 4 keys at once, and the keys should be semi-elevated.

Re: Whats the Best Keyboard for FFR?

People who think laptop keys are good because they're thin and stuff. Get a keyboard with light keys, like mine, super easy to press for top speed :O

Although my macbook keys OWN my keyboard, such loud keys and I can go 10x faster.

They're incredibly comfortable.
