Keyboard Dilemma

NinjaIsAwesome · 18 Nov 2011 at 22:25

Hey folks,

I've been told by my brothers I've a £60 limit for Christmas and with the release of Star wars soon I was looking into a new keyboard as I have a standard £5 Microsoft keyboard.

I was looking at the Razer Lycosa but have heard many bad reviews.

I've seen on this board that the Microsoft sidewinder x4 is recommended.

What are you guys suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Sidewinder is good but if I had £60 right now I would probably buy a 'Noppoo Choc Mini NKRO Mechanical Keyboard Cherry Brown'.

Search for it.

That keyboard and me would have the worst relationship ever lol.

but it does look pretty cool with the compactness of it but I'm after a full sized gaming keyboard.

I can tell you not to get the X6, I had one and it doesn't have anti ghosting (the X4 does and yet is cheaper :confused:

)

some of the first lycosas were not good infact there was a free keyboard shipped to a lot of people becuase they basically didnt work ( i actually was quite lucky to get 2 free ones since the one they sent as a replace ment was also faulty a bit. I have probably used this keyboard now for a number of years and its very nice to type on imho. Its not a mech keyboard at all so you dont get any clicking. I would think that razor would have ironed out the issues with it now for example on all three of my keyboards the fancy media keys just dont work. Although I have not had any issues other than that. I cannot really recommend any other keyboard since I only have used the lycosa for a number of years.
