response time of 1ms in keyboards is a gimmick.
tho its good that the keyboard responds instantly, i seriously doubt if theres anyone who can differentiate 1ms and 10ms in response.
so yea, as long as it has good response...50ms...1ms...whatever as long as u dont feel lag...the more important thing is how the keyboard is designed, especially the key travel and how it feels.
basically shorter key travel, the faster the key reacts...cos its no point having 1ms response time if the key takes 100ms to reach.
thats why some feel razer keyboards abit like laptop.

tilt is not an issue, the layout maybe
you may find certain keys combination out of your fingers reach
flat caps give weaker sense of touch/positioning, I always catch the wrong caps
gaming with fingers fixed on WASD should be fine, but not so recommended for touch typist

i too hated the laptop feel of a keyboard. hence i got myself G15 after much consideration last time. the G19 wise, i don't like the squarish LCD and the weird volume control.

Depends lo..
I kinda like flat keys for typing..
quite nice actly..
LOL

I'm ok with Flat or non-flat keyboard. Just that, i wanna experience Razer keyboard and try to utilize it to the fullest. But i will consider your recommendation.

I will have a look at it as well.

If razer, u take Lycosa non mirror..

^^

Eh. Got any reason why?

becos if mirror version, it will have the problem with fingerprints on the surface of the "mirror"...
somebody correct me if im wrong..

X6 is another option bside razor xD

U wont be able to see the fingerprints...but with the mirror the keys wont fade...

anyway my preference is everglide dktboard for budget ones...else will be filco if got more money...

u noe whr 2 get filco keyboards bro?

i dont its easy to get filco in malaysia. the only mechanical keyboard that you can get anywhere is SS 7G which iinm cost around the same as filco.

btw, i still prefer das keyboard over filco

i know SG got
i may get someone to get for me this one - http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub...y&pid=fkbn87meb

Added on November 13, 2009, 11:24 ami dont really like 7G cos it has no tactile feedback, ie. using cherry black switches.

well, u may oso now that cherry black also excels at key spamming, which is why is recommended at gaming, thou im sure u prefer tactile feel. juz 2 make sure, laptop-kind, flat keys keyboard like lycosa/arctosa doesnt have tactile feel right?

laptop like may not need tactile feel cos the key travel is so short.
regular keyboards with no tactile feedback, sometimes u tend to push the key all the way down.

owh, thn can explain how come the everglide dkt keyboard hav like so called tactile keyboard, coz it suppose to hav tat flat keys right, wlike laptop which means shorter travel distance. correct me if im wrong

umm all regular keyboards have some sorta tactile feel, just that u may not feel it with those that have very short key travel...so if its there or not doesnt really matter cos u'll probably end up bottoming the keys out anyway.

and who said all flat keys keyboard have short key travel? dktboard key travel isnt exactly short.

Added on November 13, 2009, 12:25 pmdktboard, if ur really really picky, the keys doesnt detect until u push them down around 2-3mm or so.
that 2-3mm can actually cut reaction time by around 30-50ms cos i tried before...guess thats why the lycosa etc got shorter key travel
but of cos if u type fast and hard, then i guess u wont notice...and for FPS gaming imo doesnt matter much.

good to noe, so i wont hav a problem thn if i want to migrate from tarantula 2 dkt keyboard, thnks 4 the info again

tarantula? i dont like it cos the keys seem to feel 'sticky', and doesnt seem to bounce up as fast to default as it should after pressing.
why u want to migrate to dktboard anyway? go for filco

Added on November 13, 2009, 12:32 pmactually for keyboard design, i kinda like the roccat arvo...tho i guess no one right now knows how it performs.

man, filco is so pricey, n yeah ur right bout the bounce, well its membrane after all, but good long lasting "same feel", thou not the best feel, still cant beat typing on mechanical keyboard, urgh, if only money wasnt such a b****
