ABCEFGHJKLQRTVWXYZ G110, had it for a year. I guess it's dead skin or something but white crap keeps building up on the keys and it's kind of annoying as it ruins the feel of them.

ABDEFGHIJAAKLNOPQRSUW Is what I got. But I'm baked and fucked it up I'm sure.
[QUOTE=Errorproxy;26416172]Dead skin? Do you sleep on your keyboard or do you have a pet snake?[/QUOTE] no I'm pretty sure it's from my fingers :downs:
[QUOTE=Blackcomb;26416273]no I'm pretty sure it's from my fingers :downs:[/QUOTE] Those are some flaky fingers. Also, [img]http://www.freecomputerguides.com/images/compressedair.jpg[/img] I hate it when people eat over their keyboard and drop food into it. Disgusting.

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;26410178]The main points of gaming keyboards are: -sexy looks -sexy backlight[/QUOTE] This statement is very very true if you want a real keyboard get a IBM Model M (If you can find one)
I'm still loving my old model m keyboard. I never noticed bad response times in games or in typing. Also the clacking noises are awesome. I think mine's from 1989.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ This keyboard is seriously $5. Only 1 letter was missed. [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Blackcomb;26414555]ABCEFGHJKLQRTVWXYZ G110, had it for a year.

Instead of posting another alphabet, I'll simply say that my "gaming keyboard" passed the test.

I have a G11 from a year ago (because I was too cheap to get a G15) and the bindable keys have been really useful. [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Soul-Chicken;26403512]ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ G11 Has extra keys (G1-G18)x3 modes. Also it's backlit with 3 brightness levels - Off - Medium - Bright [img_thumb]http://illuminatedkeyboards.co.uk/images/logitechg11/g11night.jpg[/img_thumb] G11 is a very good keyboard my only fault with it is that the keys can get a bit noisy.[/QUOTE] Yeah mine has held up surprisingly well, I don't really care about sound though, because I wear a headset.
Logitech G19 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZÅÄÖ No ghosting at all. Not really a problem with any modern keyboard.
Using some cheapo Dell mouse and keyboard set up here. Got it for free, but the mouse seems to be losing its edge now after a year.
I should probably update my keyboard and mouse. My computer and monitor are really good, but my keyboard is a $15 Microsoft "ergonomic" keyboard that I got from my dad after my Dell went out, and my mouse is an old Dell one I slipped out of the school library. To be honest, both work absolutely fine for me, so I don't know if I'll ever change.
For :pcgaming: [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] World's most useless 700th post...
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Gaming keyboard, backlights, hoy keys, shortcut keys, it's a pretty non-gimmicky thing, especially because I have a shitty light in the room.
Gaming keyboards are designed to be altogether more resilient to the demands of PC gamers, with many featuring buttons made of more durable compounds, or containing sturdier interior components. Most gaming keyboards feature a series of programmable 'hot keys' that can be set to perform an array of in-game manoeuvres and actions with a single press, which otherwise might involve several keystrokes to perform. [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] So yeah gaming keyboards are pretty useless, I bought a media keyboard, they're basically the same expect 90% less expensive.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÅÖ G19, was looking for a new keyboard and wanted to try if I would find any use for the keyboard screen. Now I wouldn't want to be without it.
My cheap £5 keyboard works perfectly for every game I ever play, I don't see the point of a fancy (and expensive) keyboard.

LCDMiscellany is so bastardly handy for network details, CPU graphs, and other stuff.
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;26403876]ABCDFGIJKOQRSUVXZ My keyboard works absolutely fine while gaming. I have a Logitech Illuminated by the way [img_thumb]http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/logitech-illuminated-keyboard-full.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I have this one too, it's been perfectly fine for me.

[QUOTE=Badal;26395500]Mine is backlit, so it is very easy to see without shining my lamp directly on it. Plus, all of the macro buttons come in handy for certain games like WoW.[/QUOTE] I don't need a light ; my keyboard is under my desk because it makes a shithuge mess when placed on the desk , so I know where all my buttons are anyway. :smug:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ probably wrong alphabet but still lol edit: got the steelseries 7G and i love it not fancy but great buttons, response & anti-ghostin
BCEGHIMNOPQRUVWXZØ i get this
I'll just say this: There's a reason why there's so many Logitech G15's and Logitech G19's around.
