New Gaming Keyboard? Which one???

Nice! You'll have to let me know how you like it after a while. I'm using the Nostromo and liking it a lot, but I wish there was just one more row of keys... The G13 has A LOT more keys

 

Very ergonomic layout, plenty of available keys, profile hotkeys, the usual macro setup software, ect. I'm really liking it and it's making for a much more comfortable playing setup. (leaned back in my chair with a floating mouse shelf on one arm and keypad on the other)

Once I get used to the D-Pad, that will open up even more keys (more than I actually need)

 

4 years and my G15 is still alive and kickin'....
It's indestructible...

Though i've heard and read a lot of negative reviews and press about logitech quality getting worse...
Can't say anything 'bout that, as my G15 works and i don't use logitech mice...

 

got g13, some lcd app for this game should be nice, for more atmospheric gameplay

 

G13 is quite the treat.

 

Bought a Logitech G105 yesterday, to compliment my 1 year old G600 mouse and bought the G430 Headset, too (yeah, got me a new computer).

I'm satisfied so far.

 

I've been using the Razer Orbweaver for the last year or so.



Bit expensive mind you, but I am a fan of the extra features it has. The extra row of keys over the Nostromo being the chief one.

 

I would really like some compactible app for my Logitech G13, i have seen many players of this game own it...

Dude... That is over the top... I love it!

 

That's the dude that kills me every time I die when I'm playing. Only someone that dedicated could best the Rooster.

Question though, where's the ashtray so I could smoke a cigar while playing? All real mechwarriors smoke cigars while on a drop.

 

As I prefer a more descreet look on my desktop (I am really out of that "uberroxxorgamergear"-age :sleep: ) I bought myself a QPAD MK-80 with MX-Blue switches some time ago and I am very satiesfied with it.






If you want extra macro-keys (which I dont need) youd be better off with the MK-85.
Both are expensive but Ill expect mine to last 10+ years as the built quality realy feels good.

 

I'm using a Cherry MX 3000 (G80-3000 nowadays I think)... I líke the high hub and that u really have to press the keys.
Oh - and u can spill a beer onto it - just dry the keyboard and it will work again.

 

I have a Logitech G105, and am satisfied.
Got a G600 mouse and G430 Headset, too.

 

I bought a G15, and have never used the macro functions on it and the LED display is largely worthless. After this one gets too old and dirty or breaks, I will go back to buying moderately priced easily replaceable normal keyboards. I would prefer to replace my keyboard every 3 to 6 months than to spend $150 or whatever on one and feel like I have to use it forever before getting another. I use my computer A LOT, and I eat and drink at my desk fairly often, so my keyboards get dirty and don't work as well over time, so yeah, I would prefer a new average keyboard regularly than a nice one that I have to keep for a couple or few years without feeling guilty.

 

This has been updated since this article, but it is what I use, and I have no beefs with it's performance.

Nostromo FTW

 

Once you go mechanical, younever go back. never. It's like comparing a Casio Music keyboard to a Bösendorfer Grand Piano.

Brand doesn't matter, I recommend Cherry MX Blue (more tactile feedback, audible 'click') or Mx Brown (silent, subtle tactile feedback) key switches.

 

I use macros a lot (G15 board too) and the LCD aswell, primarily for Mumble/TS intel but many times as a timer (I do a lot of ingame timed stuff since I'm a server admin and need to find out respawns or measure distances or whatnot) or simply a watch. Or a media controller for Spotify etc. It's practical as hell.
