[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.

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
