keyboard recommendation?

I know, i was just posting lots of pictures

In all seriousness, for that price range i would have to go for an Alchemy Elixir I or a Saitek Eclipse.

Saitek eclipse does look really nice.. and as I've read on reviews, Its one of the best keyboards for touch typing.. however, I know I am quite demanding with keyboards.. I just don't like not being able to move the way I want to move in CSS cause of keyboard ghosting though

I play CSS quite seriously.. lol.. I actually played CS beta 6.0 - CS 1.6 then moved onto CSS.. thats how long I've been playing it.

so If no one replies to my recent question, then I'd probably have to go for the Razer Arctosa.. even though I don't like the noise it makes one bit.. however, it does do everything else I want it to do

Its very comfy to type on, I can touch type very quick with it.. has some multi-media keys, which I prefer and can do the keypresses that I need it to do...

I don't get what you were asking. I would have gone for the Alchemy though, rubber keys = win.

I have a Cherry and I really recommend the brand. For university work like typing etc it is hard to beat.

well, it can only be answered by someone who actually owns the keyboard.. lol, so don't worry

my question was can you press these keys simultaniously without ghosting?
shift+capslock+w+a+space and + preferably 1 more extra key

please anyone? can the saitek eclipse/eclipse II/OCZ alchemy elixir I do this?

I've got myself a Logitech G15. The red version. Very good for typing for uni work, and gaming.

Tried the G15 myself.. not for me at all

Its too bulky, keys popping out everywhere as if its deformed.. I touch type, so I sometimes press the macro instead of tab for instance.. so Its just not for me..
And another thing is the keys for me are a bit small, they sacrifice key size to fit in that amazing amount of macro keys that I won't ever use.. I have big fingers.. that how I manage to press 6 keys all at the same time in CSS

who says you need 6 fingers to make use of 6 keys?

I don't think I'd ever use a macro really..
