My current Keyboard is atrocious ( can't press multiple keys at the same time, hotkeys not working like 1 out of 10 times etc ... ) and i want a two new ones.

At first i wanted to buy one cheap Keyboard.

I don't know which one to chose between:
- LOGITECH - Deluxe 250 Keyboard
- LOGITECH - Classic Keyboard 200

They have pretty much the same price ( ~8 euros ) but i don't know which one is the best for Bw ( yea i know they are both cheapass keyboard and it doesn't REALLY matter but if someone has tried both maybe he could tell me which one he prefers for bw ).


Anyway i'm not only playing Bw, i also play a bit Urban Terror. For those who don't know Urt: + Show Spoiler +
it is a Quake 3 standalone free mod, and it is like CS on crack. It offers even more moves ( wall jumping and power sliding ) than Quake 3 and gameplay is really fast and crazy. It is one of the best mod ever made, has an unique gameplay, is free and takes a lot of skill. I definitly recommand this game if you think that CS is too slow.

My problem is that if i want to play properly this game i will probably have to buy another keboard dedicated for FPS.

I have looked the Logitechs GXX but they are so overpriced ( in France ) that it is laughable ( 75 euros for a G15 lmao )

However i have just found a Steelseries MERC for 29 euros and i just want to know if it is good for FPS.

It looks fucking rediculous, use WASD like ever other person!!

Get a nice standard USB keyboard. Preferably a logitech one.

Pointing out how silly that keyboard looks aside, use what people with actually 'FPS Credentials' reccomend, I don't play FPS so I don't know what the norm is, but I do know that keyboard looks freakity weird.

but eh maybe the steelseries is good too when you are used to it. That's why i asked if some people have tried this keyboard.


I will probably buy one cheap logitech for bw ( and get rid of caps, window keys F1 etc ... ) and another better keyboard for FPS.
That's why i have also asked which one of the two cheap Logitech is the best.

if you look through the 100000s of kb threads on tl, specifically the ones about the samsung qsenn dt-35 you see a lot of people recommending the cherry or whatever other brand kbs because they have mechanical keys that are more responsive instead of the standard cheap style ones.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
