Keyboard
I want to hook up my laptop to my external monitor. If I do this I will need an external keyboard, unfortunately I know nothing about them. I have $51 of gift card money on Amazon, which keyboard should I buy? I'm looking for a gaming keyboard with a great response time, and slim keys.
Thanks,

woah who says you need an external keyboard? you can use the laptop keyboard... just connect it and go to line 2 or something. one of my laptops has a cracked screen and all that my mom does is connect the laptop to the monitor of a desktop -

Its not the fact that the key board is unresponsive while connected to the monitor its the set up of my desk, there is no place for me to put the laptop where I could access the keyboard except in front of the monitor which would block my view.[MOD]Bruce wrote: »http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-lycosa/razer-lycosa-keyboard
Save your money, shoot for this. Keyboards are expensive. You don't need a "GAMING" keyboard.
I used the word "gaming" so that children would not link me to a $5 piece of crap. Unfortunately the lycosa is out of my price range, and I won't be making anymore money until the summer... -
if you want a good keyboard, definatly for a fast paced fps like crossfire... NEVER EVER
EVER in your lifetime by one blind.
When it comes to keyboards, you have pretty much etheir Mechanical or Membrane.
Mechanical keyboards present reliability over membrane, but are fairly loud in compairision
to a membrane based keyboad. Membrane is pretty much common and dosen't have the
tactile feel of mechanical, nor does it have the amazing reliability, but is much quieter, with
a lighter key press. Than you have the layout of they keys that pretty much are labeled
as Straight, Egro, and Split. Alot of gaming keyboards are designed as Straight, though
some gamers (including myself) enjoy a more Egronomic keyboard for ease of typing, and
good spacing between keys.
When it comes to namebrand, no brand can be considered better than the other... just
different. Razer keyboards (lycossa/arctossa) have very flat keys, resulting in a short
keystroke making them a pain to really type on for more people (think of a laptop keyboard)
therefor it just feels flat. Microsoft keyboards are well designed, and never heard 1
complaint personally about them for gamming. The one I use currently for crossfire
besides my steelseries has great tactility, and even after 3-4 years, is still a dream to use.
In conclusion, try out keyboards yourself and find the one that you might find best to
type and play games on. Keyboards are really all about comfort and no gaming keyboard
is going to have a great impact over a regular keyboard unlike mice, where a good
gaming mouse is going to be hands down better then a regular mouse, leading to a
better KDR (if you choose a mouse comfortable for your hand)
Any perpheriable, try before buying... I've had to send back perpheriables in the past
because they just weren't right regardless of the mass recomendations for them. Take
my advice, and just try some at your local electronics store, you'll get a better impression
there then online ^.^
p.s. in terms of response time, there won't be much difference between keyboards, if anything noticable
at all... ps/2 keyboards will experience less latency then USB in the end
For each his own -

buy a great and a keyboard that will hold if you smash on it with your hand :P -
your keyboard is like a disco. sick but looks like a toyI guess I am leaning towards the Razer, although its gotten some pretty terrible review... Apparently the keys have a knack for falling off, and are quite slippery. Oh and Drenn you would buy the ridiculous keyboard that changes colors. XDthe colour keyboard mentioned in the youtube is a saitek, not great quality, and the
spacebar is weird... but its an ok keyboard. best to try the razer before you buy ^.^
its a different feel than your traditional keyboard
agree that the youtube keyboard was to mutch disco :P its look cool but nahh :P
Razor keyboards are veryy good
