Would a wired keyboard make a difference in COD2

Hi,

At the moment I have the wireless Logitech Edge keyboard and I absolutely love the keys and the way it types. Its smooth and silent to type on and I love this.

My only thing is that when I am playing COD2 some of the keyboard actions don't happen, like bashing. Now is this because the keyboad is wireless or is it just the game being annoying?

If getting a wired keyboard will improve this I was looking at the Logitech Illumintated Keyboard as I don't really use many macro keys etc. But I am wondering from people that have this keyboard what the key action is like?

You're mixing your jargon. Your keyboard won't affect the FPS (frames per second) that your PC draws.

It may, however drop inputs from time to time, being wireless. I personally hate wireless input devices and find them utter toilet for gaming. I'm sure they're better nowadays, so put down your pitchforks.
 
Yeah I know it won't affect fps and thus i never once mentioned the fps lol. All I am saying is that when I press a key it doesn't register in the game, not that it affects the fps. So wanted to ask if it is the keyboard being wireless or if the game is just being annoying as it is an old game now.

isn't the thread title "Would a wired keyboard make a difference in fps "?
 
Maybe it's because you're already pressing down too many keys?

My keyboard doesn't like more than 4 at once, and hates certain combinations, I learn to live with it as I like the feel.

Try another keyboard (you must have a spare?!) and see if it still happens.
 
I think he missed the word "Games" at the end of the thread title hehe.

Back to the question in mind, it does depend on your hardware. Some keyboards aren't very functional with multiple key presses simultaneously, if that's what you meant?
The G line of keyboards from Logitech and the Z Boards however don't suffer from these issues.
 
Yeah sorry my bad should have put games at the end, and I instead changed it to COD 2 as thats the game i mentioned. Sorry about that Ryanor for the confusion.

Yeah I was also looking the G series but not sure about their looks, as I like slim keyboards etc. Oh I also tired the razer Lacosa keyboard but sent it back as I hated the sound the keys made. Yes I am that picky lol. So can anyone with the illuminated keyboard from Logitech check whether it will allow mulitple key presses?
 
Oh, doh..... that one :p

Can't see any bad info around Google about the keys, but my Google powers could be low today.
There are multiple reviews on how nice it is for gaming though, so go figure.
 
Thanks for that Locke. Just had a look round at the reviews and it seems its exaclty like my Edge but better. I really love that it has a numberpad as this is slightly annoying as I do 3d work and its much nicer bashing in numbers on a keypad. Its also just as thin as the Edge soo gonna give this one a go :)
