[Rant/Q]Holy shit I hate my keyboard

So I just lost my third iccup game today in a row. I usually wouldn't be mad about it because that's what you have to go through to get better. But no, I lost mainly because my capslock button is so huge that I keep accidently pressing that instead of my A button, and my control button seems completely unresponsive and about half the time doesn't seem to want to work (and I doubt I'm misclicking it because it also tends to screw up when i copy/paste). I figured I'd just try to work around these problems, but fuck it. If I'm gonna lose anymore games I want it to be because I'm a crappy player, not because of my keyboard.

So any suggestions as to what keyboards are good for gaming? (actually I'll probably just buy any regular keyboard. The one I used before worked fine, but I spilled soda on it and fucked it up. So I just got this one out of my garage. However I thought I'd just ask if there are any particularly good keyboards for SC.)

For BW, any keyboard works fine as long as you're hands are comfortable on it.

I use a Microsoft Reclusa, mostly because it's pretty and has blue backlit keys. It's complete overkill. Any random $5 standard layout keyboard will do the job, though.

However that still doesn't fix the ctrl button problems, so I'll still get a new keyboard.

actually, i remember watching a video compilation of Boxer. there was a scene showing his micro (showing his hands in action on the keyboard and whatnot).

i lol'ed when i saw that there were keys missing from his keyboard.

i guess boxer must've went through the same problem, and eliminated any risks of misclicking random buttons on the keyboard.

Hes not the only one. Lots of progamers take out useless keys on the keyboard -_-

lol i used to remove the start menu key. it's like a death button just waiting to be pressed
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

About 2 to 3 times every time i'm writing a paper/essay i'll hit insert and then i'll go back to edit something and accidentally overwrite a whole sentence. I could take it out... but I mean that insert button must do something useful... I just have no idea what it is.

I was playing DotA for the first time in so long yesterday and I pressed it but THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

It sort of mixed windows and War3 window together but I was able to run back and alt+tab and back in
