bought a KeyTronic keyboard maby 2 years ago soon because I wanted to be able to press 3 keys at same time. I heard KeyTronic worked nicely for others in the scene and so I bought KT1000 PS2.. is working good even though had to replace broken arrowbuttons few times

Keytronic Stuff, higher buttons then the other keyboard i have. For some reason i press much harder playing with the keytronic keyboard which can sometimes make my fingers soar(the other keyboard is more soft and silky)

I have an acer laptop and am currently using the standard laptop keyboard. Since getting used to laptop keyboards, I actually really like them, the keys are very responsive and you don't have to press them down hard, unlike large clumsy desktop keyboards

Some weeks ago my beloved keytronic kt1000 broke and i couldnt find any place where i could buy new one since kt1000 wasnt produced anymore. So 2 nights ago i ordered 3 different keyboards from a webshop in hope of soon having at least 1 keyboard good for elma (3+ simultanious presses).
Only 1/3 keyboards was of any use:

Logitech Internet 350 Keyboard

If u nat whane spend too much money next time ur about to buy elmakeyboard then u know that one works at least :)

Those that didn't work was:
Labtec Standard Keyboard
Deltaco Standard Keyboard

ez avoid ;X

That's almost exactly like mine- except mine says COMPAQ in the top right corner, and it has a Health and Safety WARNING under the Delete End and Page Down buttons. which says: "To reduce risk of serious injury to hands, wrists or other joints, read Safety & Comfort Guide."

The ONLY other difference is my Enter button- which is just a horizontal bar of little more than 2 keys length.

This keyboard has been serving me last 7 years, and still in very good shape and working perfectly. I cant find any key combination in elma that wouldnt work. It also has those 4 buttons up there for play/pause, stop, next track, previous track, which I use for winamp, so you can change tracks easily even while playing elma, or some other game.

now axxu- that ones the closest to mine I've seen yet- the same brand and the same warning- but mine's more rectangular and doesn't have the extra buttons at the top (shortcut keys) or the internet buttons at the side- that area is for the COMPAQ logo and the num. lock caps. lock and scroll lock indicator lights (in case they're on or not it shows the light beside a 1, A or down arrow on a _)

ps. COMPAQ makes the best Elma Keyboards evar.

I'd think you'd put your index on enter as well- a bit easier. :?

Maybe upload a pic or your keyboard as well- just for visual?
