send me one.

i'm still using an old dell USB keyboards. it's not one of those minimalistic ones fortunately.

btw, how would you judge a keyboard's responsiveness? do you measure it by how hard you need to press down the key to get an effect? i can't imagine keyboards actually "lagging", as in key inputs being too slow.

"Touch" is the key press; "comfort" is the layout and other physical stuff; "lag" is just that. You can actually feel the long response (even though it's like microseconds) time.

I gave up using wireless keyboards and mice for gaming due to perceivable lag.

I have one and I <3 it, feels great, the key resistance is good, and its responsive. While I can't really compare to high end gaming keyboards, this one is great if you're low on cash (got a corded one on sale for something around $20

).

Ty for the very usefull feedback to all! I'm going to try the G15 later today and see whether it feels as good as its quality suggests.

Anyone has one of the Razer keyboards (Lycosa, Tarentula)? If so, how does it feel when typing? I.e. is it rather the mechanic type where you feel the typing quite a lot, or is it smoother and more organic?

No really... the Microsoft Sidewinder X6 is amazing.. I wasn't joking.

haven't tried the Sidewinder X6 myself yet so can't judge about it but my personal favor still goes to the zboard for now (yes i tried the blue Logitech G15 it's not my thing)

I have a Ideazon MERC Stealth and can not complain

it is great for FPS gaming and works just fine for everything else, i used to have the older ZBoard but having to swap and change keys around gets old after a while so i opted to change to this new one.

Ty everyone, I think you've convinced me to buy a G15, though it feels less "organic" than the MS Comfort Curve 2000. Ty again for all your feedback, even if not related to G15!

Aussie Boy · Sep 14, 2008, 10:30 AM // 10:30

G15 is the way to go i love it for typing (comfortable IMO) and gaming.

Lord Sojar · Sep 15, 2008, 12:55 AM // 00:55

but the orange G15 is so bad....

Razer Tarantula is by far the best keyboard I have ever owned.... By far the best keyboard ever for 18 bucks!!!

I have the newer G15 and it feels great except for the Macro Mode buttons. I have to press on them rather hard to get them to switch macros.

I have this keyboard as well. I love it for the game pad on the left, however, The paint is chipping on several keys less than a year after buying it and their customer service is all through the frustrating "ticket" and email process which REALLY pisses me off. It's a great keyboard other than that one thing.
