Keyboard suggestion needed.

[AvalancheDiode]

I splashed some water on my HP keyboard and somehow "qwert" keys died. Funny thing is that it triggered a BSOD when IRQ conflict occurred when I try to turn TV tuner off. I thought that was due to Cool n' Quiet until this morning. Anyway, now I'm using an IBM keyboard that I picked up from somebody's trash. (Yes, I do pick up trash sometimes. My DVD-ROM is actually picked up from a thrown-out SONY P4). Anyway, I need another keyboard with multimedia function. So which one are you guys recommend?

Re: Keyboard suggestion needed.

Logitech G11 is good, mainly for gaming.

For multimedia, i'd say a simply Logitech or Microsoft multimedia board.

Re: Keyboard suggestion needed.

G15 is awesome, but overall any decent keyboard will do. I'd recommend Logitech anyway

G15 is stupid. You don't need a screen, it's not worth the extra 50 bucks. I have a G11.

No comments on Saitek keyboards?

Re: Keyboard suggestion needed.

Saitek keyboards are no good for gaming as they don't support multiple key presses, apart from the Cyborg I think.
Razer Lycosa looks good as does the Tarantula.
I would probabaly go for the Logitech G11.

You what. I have a Saitek Eclipse and it does multiple key presses

The only reason i didn't include it was because it has no multimedia keys on it. However, the Saitek eclipse are known for having good, responsive and solid keys. I like it.

Re: Keyboard suggestion needed.

I had the Saitek Gamers Keyboard, I now have Saitek Eclipse 2.
On more than one occasion while gaming I have run out of ammo and tried backing away while strafing and switching to pistol or knife using keys 1 or 2, and it doesn't work.
To clarify:
If you hold S & D the 2 and 3 keys do not respond.
If you hold S & A the 1 and 2 keys do not respond.

You can try this in notepad by holding the 2 keys and trying the relevant number key, it does not respond.

Re: Keyboard suggestion needed.

Nope, works fine for me. I can hold buttons and the numbers still work fine.

It may have been a driver issue.
