It uses only 2 keys at the same time  sweat.gif

But player taps rapidly in gameplay with 2 keys.

I see sweat.gif , then a softer key with better tapping like red might help.

Had you flash the latest firmware?

It is NKRO rdy and have fast polling rate too.

I see. I still not dare to flash it to latest firmware coz the issue about making poker malfunction after flashing that i saw from gh forumers.
I dun think i will need NKRO for now, since I can do that on my TK when i wanna play o2mania laugh.gif .

is there any other one that is a better buy than this?

vortex poker 2?

Really depends on your usage and layout preference imo. For below RM300 full size kb, rosewill or ducky zero are pretty good for entry lvl imo.

i was thinking the same haha. thanks!

any other keyboards that is a better buy than rosewill in this price range?

actually the only f key im using in dota2 is f9 to pause game, where u can activate it by pressing fn + 9 at the same time.
The rest of the keys are set on 1-5 or other alpha keys tongue.gif .

erm I'm kinda new to this, what is tkl?

TKL refers to the 80% layout, without numpad.

Oh thanks.
Will the tkl keyboard that is suggested perform better than the rosewill one?
*
TKL just the layout, nothing to with performance of a keyboard lol biggrin.gif .
When suggesting keyboard with standard layout (so that u can always change the keycaps if they worn off), we always ask budget, type of layout based on your preference.

perform better in the sense of quality and all.
here:
Recommend me a mechanical keyboard.
Budget around rm300 +/-.
Also playing dota 2 and fps games.
full size.
led lighting if possible  icon_rolleyes.gif
Blue/ brown keys.

Currently looking at rosewill rk-9000
*
For full size with back lighting i can only think of ducky shine3 at RM399 or RM469 tongue.gif .
Other full size keyboard maybe ducky zero, cm quickfire xt, etc.

No worry about keycaps thou, since u can always get the aftermarket ones. You have POM, ABS and PBT choice.

I saw there is PC materials and PC-PBT materials in Signature Plastics dcs profile too.
Anyone care to tell me about durability and feel of these materials in keycaps?  icon_question.gif
*
There's some description or explanation on the first page thumbup.gif .
Btw, from my experience about abs vs pbt is:
ABS is softer feel for typing and have a smooth surface.
PBT is harder in terms of hardness and has slightly rough surface than ABS.

yeah... the cheapest one  sweat.gif
looking to invest more if it can last for at least 30 years drool.gif

edit:
but in the end it is still kinda hard for me to decide whether to invest more into the keyboard.
im changing my mouse and mousepad at the same time (played dota alot recently, and my mouse is about to die soon),
and the spare money i have, i'll use it on either keyboard or a headset.
*
Since u type or use a lot on the keyboard, i bet the fonts disappear of stock keycaps (ABS) very fast and keycaps shinny too.
Then why dun spend RM200 or RM300+ to get PBT Dyesub/Doubleshot keycaps that is more durable than ABS.

Get a custom keyboard, add anything u want. Lot of custom ability like u can choose type of switches, material of plates, type of switch mount, led color and shape, metal or acrylic casing, keycaps , keyboard layout and key mapping and more.

Hard to decide. It's like you want something to last long but you scare you gets bored of it.
I saw the IBM one and this idea strikes into my mind  sweat.gif

How's Razer Black Widow?
Customizable?
*
One of the most least customizable keyboard in my mind, why bother with razer black widow? Unless u just like the logo and backlit doh.gif

If you die die must backlit, then either get a custom board as suggested by hmwgbworld above.

Else, get a poker2, backlit ready and highly mod and playable, which I doubt you will ever get bored with it in the long run.

Haha true, ppl with custom keyboard may also get bored eventually if there's no new things released to push their addiction interest toward mechanical keybaord sweat.gif
