    too expensive for a game like stepmania imo. i got all my good scores with a keyboard worth 6-7 US dollars (rough conversion). lasted a little over a year (keys kept flying off) but boy that was a very fun year i had... too bad i can't find it anymore though RIP. go AAA cetaka's RATO with your mech you betch

    anyway bought a logitech ultra x premium, delivery estimate 1-5 december (!!). i'll let you guys know how it feels during winter break probably, though the fact that samurai7694 is using it is a good enough review already lolol

      To be fair (at least, in the US I think) there are some mech KBs that are barely more expensive than the standard high end keyboards. The Razer Lycosa and Logitech Illuminated are pretty expensive, but for a few more bucks you can get an entry level mech KB (without the NKRO and shit that won't matter for a 4k game). The Razer Blackwidow is an example but I'm a little skeptical of its durability. There are also many kinds of mech KB switches, its best to do research before getting one

      Theres also a huge difference between a flat kb and a bulky mech KB lmao, if you're used to playing on a bulky KB the mech KB will feel like heaven. I'm very comfortable with a flat KB but I can't do shit on a mech KB in comparison. That or, I'm just picky with my KBs

      Anyway mech KBs are also great for general typing, but honestly in some aspects I believe they are overrated (I personally have one). I have a Logitech Ultra X Premium too and its great as a flat KB both aesthetically and tactility wise, I don't see how a Lycosa or Illuminated would be any better than that

      To conclude, I strongly believe its about playstyles.

          Microsoft Wired 600 or something is pretty good. Mine still works and the keys aren't at all hard to press. Probably not as good as those ultraslim keyboards like the Lycosa, etc lol. But this one has like 2.5mm keys or something, jsyk. It cost me about $15 CAN and that was WITH the mouse. So if you're looking for a really cheap keyboard get that one if you can find it. (For future keyboards anyway, since this looks to be cleaned up..)

          Though, not exactly sure if they make them anymore, since I got this one last year at Walmart. lmao

            ofc it shouldnt be too expensive since you really rape your keyboard with games like FFR / SM etc.
            i just ordered the ultraslim board , the same like who_cares is using

              Meh, I have the Lycosa, it's a good keyboard but I'm still a huge fan of Slim Keyboard, love laptop keys a lot.

                Prawn, the keyboard I used in that vid isn't the Kensington, it's my old Centrios (rip)

                afaik, they no longer manufacture the model I had

                  oh hi. got the keyboard and bumped myself up from average rank 30 to averange rank 7 in two days flat, and i'm still not done yet. Keytaps are also way sexier than before huehue. jacking is much easier now but i still lack control rip. feels good to sightread VCs again

                  also whoever said that different keyboards doesn't do shit to your performance is officially wrong. pce

                      Re: Skill + right Keyboard = epic win.

                      I just started, but i am using a Ducky 9008 (cherry blues) and it is great!
                      I find it to be so much better than most non-mechanical.

                      Here be my mashin' board. ducky 9008 with custom keys. Loving the cherry MX blue switches! My current setup. I had the keys like this ...

                        well just ordered the k120 as well, since many persons are betting that this one is pretty epic.
                        With the kensington slim im pretty happy, yet it doesnt feel that comfortable at all, i dont know why.
                        Anyways its still better than my old one.

                          Well I got the new Kensington slimtype today. Oh god, it feels just like a high quality laptop keyboard and is very responsive. I'm already getting a noticeable speed boost. Totally recommended. Best investment for $25
