Need advice on a wireless keyboard for gaming.

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.

Probably around £30-40

Thanks Groping, my old logitech keyboard was fine for games including mmo's and survived over a year of bear / food / other drink spillage

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

I might just order a replacement mx100 keyboard as at least I know I can press more than enough keys for gaming without it dying on me

Funny

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 find it hard to believe no one here uses a wireless keyboard for gaming

Azarathal · 16 Jan 2012 at 20:04

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

Anyone?

When I said I wasn't in a huge rush I didn't mean I had THIS much time to spare

I've already said I don't care on your personal views of wired vs wireless. Sitting about 6ft from a 42" tv and I don't want messy wires everywhere.
