Why would you want a USB keyboard anyway?

Is it a serious question?
Anyway, with the aid what keyboard did you solve your problem, Lukazz? Or haven't you never got one?

Waaa, 90€ :-/
Using the internet for my reseaches I came across the programme called "Keyscan09". The conspicuous fact about it is, that according to the programme max 2 simultaneous key-strokes are possible if the left arrow is involved. Otherwise up to 6 presses are feasilbe. Weird, anywise.

If you really want a keyboard which allows as many simultaneous keypresses as possible, buy Steelseries 7G. It says it is "supporting as many simultaneous key presses as there are keys on the keyboard".

I bought one and I'm pretty satisfied with it. The only things is that it has windows key in wrong place and key * in wrong place. And the buttons are at the same time a bit heavy and very sensitive. But I think I have to get used to it first and then it will be good.

Well, I changed the keyboard layout now playing with I-J-K-L instead of the arrows -> Thus 4-6 simultaneous key-strokes are possible.:)

I'm using some HP keyboard, sucks because I can't use left + more than 1 other key, which = die at brake rotate left and flip dir. parts or similar (like hi flier bounces). Silly thing is that any other amount of keys that I've tried can be used as long as the left key isn't involved :evil: I use numpad 1 for alo, don't have any front/rear brakes or alias keys.

Using this kind of old keyboard since 1998, more or less. Never had problems with elma.
I removed yesterday all keys and cleaned them.

I bought a steelseries cause wanted infinite keypresses. That did work but didnt last 6 months before 3 arrow keys fell off. Buttons felt quite off to begin with. Dissapointed

I have had this Keyboard for 8 months maybe, Steelseries 6G v2, very good but maybe a bit hard to press down the buttons.
Before I bought it I read some reviews about its buttons textmarking that was disappearing. However, mine are as good as new still.

yeah. I have 6g v2 also. looked at buttons now when you said that, dissappeared from many bnuttons. but dpesnmt matter much. kerys falling off much worse. not satisfied with this at all. also too sharp edges on buttons for my taste, but taste differs. I also prefer softer touch Bjenn ;)

I also have that kb. Got it second hand for cheap because the original buyer didn't like the asterisk location. It's fucking nonsensical that the asterisk is placed there. Took forever to learn.
then again i don't know anything
maybe easier not to think abouut alöl things thought than not things thought ... or something..=?

i have same and have been liking it (6gv2). been in use for about 2 years or little more now and only few keys have some noticeable wear. i have that button popping out issue also but only with arrow keys and its probably due to the way i hold my fingers there, i hold them at the edge of buttons because long fingers and little finger needs to reach alokey (num0) so there is some sideways pressure on them so easy pop out if press too hard. few buttons also broke that plastic + shaped cap thing where they attach to mechanical switches, got another set of keys for 7 euro and replaced them and now have plenty of spares

black switches are also kinda lame because they dont have that clicking action but my preference has now changed to favor a more silent keyboard and black switches are the quietest so i wouldnt want blue/red/brown switches now. for elma black switches are also probably best whereas click action ones better for typing / certain type of games, not that it matters all too much anyway.

Razer Deathstalker Essential here for a few years now. I love it - very low keys, easy to press (but not to easy), good layout and wrist rest, and really cool font of the letters & chars, which everyone compliments :D The only culprit is that it's pretty noisy, compared to e.g. a laptop keyboard, but still nothing compared to the typical tall-keyed rubbish. And ofc multiple key presses work fine, so recommended for elmans :)

some 7 years later, used some kinda cheap logitech semimini keyboard at that time but 2010 or so switched to Razer Lycosa that is currently in use still, although put it down for about a year when I had spilled Oboy (chocolate powder mixed with milk) on it so it didn't work. Then later decided to try it again and wow it worked very wow very cool osv, used it ever since.
