Heya guys, title explains it tbh, I had a Logitech Ex100 which was actually quite nice, it recently died however so I replaced it with a Microsoft 800 wireless keyboard.

This keyboard has a nice feel to it but it doesnt let me run+strafe+anything else which is unfortunate.

I don't want anyone saying "hurr don't use wireless for gaming durr" because I simply don't want your opinions on wireless vs wired.

So, can anyone suggest something that'll let me have 4-5 keystrokes at once without ******** itself?

Cheers, Mikey.
 
I only trust Logitech when it comes to wireless peripherals but at 30-40 I am not sure you will get consistent KRO at any decent range. If you are sat by your computer then it will be fine but then you may as well go wired, unless you are totally OCD about wires like me but I have been making concessions recently with a decent mouse and mechanical keyboard.

Look at the K360.

edit: just noticed on the logitech website the K230. Looks pretty nice and well priced.

The k230 and k360 both look small and horrible, definately not what I'm after.

The 360 just looks like a regular keyboard but they moved the keys between the numpad and the rest of the board to above the numpad. The keys are also standard size and distance so it will be no different to a regular keyboard. You will not notice.
 
I dont mean to be rude but you want a wireless keyboard with anti ghosting keys? as I assume thats what you mean when you say

`that'll let me have 4-5 keystrokes at once without ******** itself?`

and you then want to be able to play games on it and you have a budget at the higher end of £40? Perhaps you need to look at what features you really need then people can suggest something thats possible.
 
Slade my old Mx100 cost me £10-15 for the mouse + keyboard combo over a year ago and I was able to walk + strafe + crouch and do other things like throw grenades and change weapons.
I think I'll go for another one of those as although this Microsoft keyboard feels much nicer to type on / higher build quality for gaming its *****.
 
I've found one for £45 inc delivery online so I think I'll go ahead and order it :) I doubt it but do you reckon my existing receiver for my ex100 would work with this? (both logitechs) as I don't like the idea of having two seperate receivers.

My microsoft keyboard is ***** because I can only press 2-3 keys at once, I can either crouch + walk or walk + strafe etc. I can't crouch, walk, strafe and change weapon / reload / throw a nade at the same time.
 
Bumping this as my Microsoft keyboard died (drunken LAN party, stood on / spilt drinks on)

Bought a Microsoft Wireless 2000 combo to replace it but I'm having the same issues with it not letting me use "W+A+G"(Walk, strafe left, grenade) Nor does it let me use the combination consisting or more than 2 keystrokes at once and the mouse is very touch and go in terms of whether it'll spend the day lagging across the screen or if it'll be fine.

Any other suggestions except for the logitech? I've got another 2weeks or so until I can no longer return my Microsoft2000 combo so I'm not in a huge rush. Again my limit is between £40-60ish. Also if anyone has anything second hand don't be afraid to trust me :)
