MURPHEY'S LAW: Anything that can go wr...+\#&\% Bus Error -- Core Dumped

FourScience

I'm still a big fan of the ole QWERTY... nothing costing more than $30 is going to have a justifiable edge over my $10 Labtec PS/2 keyboard. Like the Zboard..even the DX1 boasts more gimmick than improvement. It would be more of a hassle to use any more input devices than my standard keyboard/mouse. Do I want to be able to type chat messages? Or with BF2's horrendous server browser, do I want to be swapping boards left and right when I can hardly get in a decent game before it changes to my least favorite map? The ole QWERTY has plenty of keys, all easy to access, and no arrangements necessary. I can only ask that an extra row of keys be added to the left of my caps lock so I can toggle things better with my left hand, but otherwise, I use every key my left hand can access within a 3 key radias of my home row (ASDF), and in some cases even more (F6, M, Enter).

Most ps/2 or usb keyboards will not recognize more than 2 keys being pressed at the same time.  so i f you run and strafe and try to change weapons with your keyboard, your keyboard might not recognize any more keys being pressed at the same time.  This keyboard is about the only thing that would be better than my Tactical board.  The only thing it does that my Tacticalboard doesn't, is allow you to totaly move the buttons to fit your hand.  I have hands slightly larger than most, guess.  So being able to adjust my keyboard wouldbe nice.  not worth the 150, but still more comfy.dont know if I would give up on my tactical board, I only use 28 of the 43 keys on it, but it is more comfortable than a keyboard.  And, I can press as many keys as I wish simutaniusly and they all register individualy.  So if I have to button mash, every keystroke counts.
