I need a new keyboard!

[Pycno]

Define wear out fast.

I had a G11 that lasted over two years and logitech gave me a free upgrade to a G110 when it started acting funky.

Most rubber dome keyboards are rated for 2 million keypresses, the high quality ones are rated for up to 10 million key presses. Mechanical keyboards are rated for up to 50 million keypresses.

By fast I mean relative to quality keyboards, seems like everytime I see comment section for rubber dome keyboards people are complaining they had to buy a new one after X weeks/months.

My current keyboard does not have ink print, the letters are carved into the plastic so they cant wear out. It also has 105 leds just for the heck of it, one at every button. And I can push down all 105 keys at the same time if I want to and the computer will register all, great for playing those old 8 player games on one keyboard


I bought a Razer Lycosa together with my new computer and its by far the worst keyboard I have ever used. Even 5$ keyboards was better.
The keyboard would randomly stop working, either totally or just some buttons and the usb-cord had to be replugged for it to work again. Tried everything with the driver installed, uninstalled and so forth and after some digging I found this was a very common problem with the Lycosa.
It supposedly has anti-ghosting capabilities but Ive never seen a keyboard with worse problems with ghosting. I could not push W+Tab+V meaning I had to stop running forward to broadcast V to cast Arcane Explosion. Lets not even talk about the keybinds also involving Shift or strafing (W+A/D).
I gave the keyboard away and bought a new one (The Deck Legend), its almost perfect as its just missing some keys (I should have scandinavian layout instead of US-layout).

I would look into Xarmor U9BL for gaming if you dont mind the Cherry MX Blue switches (tactile feel and audio)

This is true for any PS/2 keyboard, USB keyboards, as far as I know, have a limit of 6 keys that can be sent at the same time [or something along those lines].

I own a Lycosa and while it is not the sexiest keyboard in terms of comfort, I would say that it is better than a $5 keyboard. If I don't load the Razer driver the thing works fine. But if I load the Razer driver and its systray program then I would occasionally get those same problems where certain keys would get stuck or stop working and could only be remedied by unplugging and replugging in the USB cable.
