Title: Expert keyboards
Post by: QAOP Spaceman on September 12, 2016, 04:05:07 am

It's got the ppoint where I need to get a keyboard for pplaying games.

I have wrecked the keyboard on my lappptop, the qq and the p either don't register or they register twice. At the moment I am WSIO Spaceman  BibleThump I had always had sony lapptopps before, but this one is a Toshiba ppiece of crap and I have destroyed it.

Any recommendations for a good keyboard for the game pplaying?

That's the kind of unsympathetic respponse I exppected  <mad>

I'll post a few ppics of the keyboard when I get a chance, not having a smartpphone I'll need to get my tablet charged up.

It is an absolute disgrace, the lettering on QQ, A, O and PP is half gone, there are three big divots on the p key and a frigging hole in the spacebar  FailFish

Toshibas are junky. Our Toshiba laptop touchpad buttons don't work anymore.

If you are looking to get a gaming keyboard on a budget, I recommend Red Dragon mechanical keyboards. You can get one on Amazon for about $30 USD. If you're looking to splurge (lol), check out www.wasdkeyboards.com (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com)

Yup, the buttons and the touchpad on mine lasted about 6 months  BibleThump

That's the same one I have.  I just use it less effectively.

I actually do have a keyboard, it looks remarkably similar to the one Serphy pposted - in fact, it may be a more high-falutin and exclusive model, as it says K200, not K120

If it's good enough for Serphy to pull a million hundred out of his ass on RU, it should be enough for me to get half that on CK  Kappa

I do like the flatter buttons you get on a laptop keyboard tho, it feels like a lot more work on of these fkers.

Oh, my K200 cost about the same :)
