Hey, i was wanting to upgrade from my 8 year old keyboard that has been with me since the days of Mohaa. So i've been reading through tons of reviews on gaming keyboards trying to decide which one to get and i still can't decide since its my first upgrade in years.

Whilst browsing through everything i came across products like the G13, which ive never even considered getting before (being an old school gamer and all) -

So i was wondering how many of you play with gaming tools like that ?

(and if they are crap, is the tarantula a good buy?)


Additional info :-

I mostly play fps's (not that a decent one has been released in years), and i willalso be playing Aion @ the end of september.

Thanks for any recomendations and help.
 
if your looking for an mmo/fps keyboard the g15/19/lycosa/tarrantula are great keyboards. however il give slight advantages to the G series since they have more in the macro business for mmo games, but for fps il give razer the hat. iv got the lycosa and its fantastic, no problems with it even for mmos. if price isnt an issue go for the g15/19 if u want p2p then lycosa
 
Is the lycosa soft touch though? i can't stand soft touch keyboards, one of the main reasons why ive never owned a laptop.
 
G19 would suit you the best, but it's also the most expensive.

I would highly recommend the Steelseries Merc or Merc Stealth though, it has predefined buttons around the movement keys for all the common game functions in MMO's and FPS' - with different presets available for most games.
 
hmm the Merc does look intriguing i must admit.

seems the places i usually buy from don't have them though, and amazon just had a purple stealth one.
 
you say rubber keys and i get turned off by it, im so confused :'(

It'd be nice to have them all sat infront of me to try out.
