Still loved the keyboard thanks to the buttons and lcd. But I used it more outside of games | ||

No windows key is always nice too when gaming, but SC2 has an option to disable it. =x hey, i have one of these too! lol. mine was made in 1983... as old as i am. i dyed the all the keys and sprayed the cover black, so it look pretty spiffy (also also keeps people who can't touch type off of my computer). it's a little bit of a hassle looking for motherboards that support PS2 keyboards properly tho. click clack is awesome, unless you happen to be trying to sleep and someone else is typing on your computer -___- | ||

I mainly feel that this is an issue when playing FPS games though. My current old HP keyboard works great for SC but when playing FPS games I can't sprint diagonally forward and then crouch (with shift+ctrl). | ||

HP Pavilion dv6700, has done me well enough over the years and I don't plan on switching anytime soon. Only problem is my 1 key sticks or doesn't respond same with my tab key. Must been from so much use or just age. | ||

As for the DT-35.. Same as mouses: Even a Logitech mini is enough for StarCraft, but it surely won't cut it for StarCraft II. It may not be so dramatic as with mouses (as the resolution in SC2 is a lot higher), but i expect it to simular.. You do need a gaming keyboard. It won't make a low-skilled player any better, but it will improve the gameplay of pro's (like a good baseball bat). Then again, I do not have a BETA key. I only talk based from all the forums, gamer interviews i've read and videos i've watch. | ||

I use a Logitech Mini Optical for both SC1 and SC2 (1680x1050) and it performs superbly for both and I've already tried fancy laser and infrared mice such as the G9, G5, G3, and Razer Abyssus (G3 comes close though). Nothing beats the LMO for RTS games if you use fingertip/claw grip and is probably the best mouse ever made (IMO, at least). On April 21 2010 23:38 ExecutioN wrote: You do need a gaming keyboard. It won't make a low-skilled player any better, but it will improve the gameplay of pro's (like a good baseball bat). Have you watched any Starcraft VODs of the Korean pro scene? They almost all use the DT-35, which is a cheap and widely manufactured membrane keyboard, which can be had for less than $15 in Korea. The vast majority of gaming keyboards (i.e. Razer boards, Logitech G11, even the $200 G19) use the same exact membrane/rubber dome mechanism and has the same feel. The only difference is the crazy design, macro keys (which are in no way used by higher level SC players), gaudy LCD displays, and marketing schemes. For RTS, it just doesn't matter very much, and if the player had any sense, he would spend the extra cash on a high end mechanical board instead of falling trap to ridiculous offerings of Logitech and Razer. For FPS and other genres, I can't comment because I'm not sure. In the end, I've toyed around with many different components of varying price ranges ($10 - $135 keyboards, $8 - $60 mice, $1 - high end anodized aluminum mouse pads) and I've come to a conclusion that you don't need expensive equipment to play Starcraft effectively. You can get an LMO or any cheap optical for under $10, a membrane keyboard for about the same, and rummage a cheap mousepad with a decent surface. It's just important to get accustomed to whatever equipment you use by using it consistently to become fully comfortable with it. | ||
