Let me start off with the basics I look in a keyboard.

1. Great build and not too cheaply made
2. Great tactile reponse + antighosting/ multiple button pressing
3. QUICK response when a key is pressed
4. LED lighting is not necessary but would be a PLUS++++

Games?

I MAINLY PLAY FPS GAMES (mostly counterstrike 1.6 and others like l4d2 etc.)

So I have been doing so research trying to search for the perfect keyboard for gaming. I have run across several keyboards people suggest as the one of the best keyboards on the market. I don’t want to throw out to much cash for a keyboard. Keyboards like g19 and steelseries 6g/7g are overpriced. Alternatives I have found for those are keyboards such as G15, Razer lycosa/arctosa, and a keyboard not too many people use is the Abs M1 mechanical keyboard. Currently the cheapest prices I can find on these keyboards are. G15 = 70$, Abs M1 = 50$, Razer Arctosa = 45$, Razer Lycosa = 70+$

My analysis on these keyboards are the following:

Logitech G15: I heard this is one of the top gaming keyboards on the market and allow many different settings and fancy mumbo jumbo. My opinion is that since I play mainly FPS, I wouldn’t need the LCD screen and the micro keys on the sides to toggle between keystroke settings. Yet it is quite cheap I would still consider it. Another CON is that with the extra keys I heard it is quite large.

Razer Lycosa/Arctosa: Razer is a really popular brand for gaming supplies. I have heard many great reviews for these keyboards. Lycosa has back lighting and they both support antighosting and have great response. One big flaw with the Lycosa is that it is quite overpriced. For both of these keyboards a BIG negative is that many people complained about the cheap quality of the material used to make these products.

Abs M1: A keyboard many people don’t use or consider using. I have recently come upon it while scavenging newegg.com. It has similiar features including the looks, to the overpriced steelseries 7g. Pros for this keyboard is that I have heard mechanical keyboards have great tactile response. This also features antighosting too. What I really like about this keyboard is that it is heavy duty. This thing weighs almost four pounds!! and the cord is braided to make sure this keyboard stays intact. Another pro is that it is a really simple keyboard so it shouldn’t take up to much room on my desk. This keyboard is also onsale 20$ off from the orginal price of 70$. A con for this keyboard is that many people say the antighosting isn’t great and many of the keys don’t respond and had to get it replaced. (mainly for the newest models)

SO WHICH KEYBOARD YOU THINK IS BEST?

I am mainly leaning towards the Abs M1 because of its similarity to the Steelseries 7G, your answers could possibly change my mind :)

These days, texting is one of the fastest ways to communicate with someone without having to sit down at a computer. From the older flip phones that require dialing as a way of texting to slide and tilt phones complete with touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard, phones have gradually become more designed for texting and use of a keyboard. First came the T9 option, which made texting on flip phones a bit easier. Then came these, the two best cell phones for texting. They are the Blackberry Curve series, which includes the 8300 and 8900, and the Samsung Blackjack II, successor to the original Blackjack. These two combine the essentials of efficient texting to bring the fastest experience.

The Blackberry Curve series was first released in 2007 by Research In Motion. The most recent 8900 release sports the classic 35-key keyboard and a candybar design. In fact, the Blackberry Curve 8900 redesigned the older 8300 to get to the Internet, making use of the efficient texting design for browser use, email, and organization. It’s no wonder that this series is one of the best for texting; the average fingertip can press more than four buttons at a time, whereas other phones have larger, bulkier buttons. You can pick up the newer Blackberry 8900 for $399, and the older Blackberry 8300 for $199.

Samsung released the middle child of the Blackjack family, the Blackjack II, in 2007. The original Blackjack, also released in 2007, was already great for texting; it had a simple texting structure and a compact keyboard. While the Blackjack II doesn’t really change much of the texting part of it (both can run on Windows Mobile 6 and have similar QWERTY keyboards), the other features of the phone have really improved: faster processor, improved camera, and a slightly bigger screen. In all, the Blackjack II has not only retained the status of a great texting phone that the original Blackjack had, but also brought up so many new features that sent it to the top of the Consumer Reports smartphone charts. You can buy a Samsung Blackjack II for as low as $99, which isn’t surprising considering that the original Blackjack was once at $50 (currently not in stock).

These two phones have two things in common: fast response times and a compact keyboard. These two make texting very easy because everything is where it should be and the phone won’t make things difficult by being sluggish or whatnot. The industry has yet to see better phones, as these series were designed first for texting (both predecessors were designed with a clean keyboard) and then upgraded up to include very useful features like GPS, video and camera, email, and improved browser use.

 

I’m looking for a keyboard that it best suited for a gamer. What I am looking for on the keyboard is: legs on the back of the keyboard to allow for angled typing, palm pad/wrist rest, and NOT wireless. Those are the main things I’m looking for. Things like illuminating keys, backlight, macro keys, and ergonomic are just bonuses that would be cool to have.

My budget is about $70 and lower and I have already checked out some keyboards including: All razer keyboards (Tarantula being the one I would get if I were to buy from razer), microsoft x6, and logitech (g11, g15, g19). If I could get something like the g19 at the price of the x6 then I would be a happy camper.

The main feature of PS3 games is there, it has great online gaming services. It also includes the feature like connective with play station portable, use of high definition optical format, great multimedia capabilities and blue ray disc. It was first introduced on 11th Nov 2006 in Japan and then 17th Nov 2006 in North America and last 23rd Mar 2007 in Europe and Oceania. As per the size of hard disks, there are five different hard wares, 20,40,60,80, and 160GBs. Each package includes one or two six-axis controllers, a dual shock three controller, an audio-video output cable, a power cable, an Ethernet cable, and a mini USB cable.

There are three main accessories are available by Sony play station to get more excitement over the PS3 games, a 8GB Memory card, a Steering Wheel and a Network adapter. Let’s have a close look at the PS3 accessories above in detail. If you want to save everything related to games like some characters, some levels you crossed etc. then a 8GB memory card can really helpful to you. An original Sony’s memory card can be cost at 15 to 20 US dollars and it has 15 blocks where the games can be stored. The second essential accessory is, Steering Wheel from Logitech Driving Force Pro.

Those games who like to play the games where driving is there, this device helpful to fulfil your all needs. It can give you the real experience of driving on the road. Games can feel both torque as well as turn depend on the condition of road during a particular game. It can be customised as per the gamers need. It can be used in both pay station and PC by just downloading their drivers from the Logitech site. It can cost up to 129 US dollars. The third most important article is a Sony Network Adaptor. It can be used while paying game online. Using this adaptor, a gamer can expand his base of the game and can test what levels of the gaming skill he has. It can cost around 35 US dollars.

 

Looking for the best gaming machine, the cost is not a problem. My whole life has been devoted to the use of substandard equipment for all, whether fishing, games, sports, etc and finally can afford to treat myself to the best. I have spent two weeks searching around the web from time to time and have not been satisfied with any of my potential decisions. Here is a list of my possible purchases, please tell me if you know of something better. I play both MMO and FPS and want a configuration that works for both.
  Hierarchy of needs: reliability / quality, functionality, ease of use.
  Factors of importance: price ($ 50 mousepad? Maybe, but mousepad $ 150? No, thanks) and looks (if I'd be ashamed every time I looked, I'm good).
  Mouse – Razer Mamba

  Keyboard – Logitech G19

  Headphones – 100% lost on this issue. I looked and looked and just end up more lost. Prices in this element is a factor I have seen in the headphones of several thousand dollars. I wear glasses (without skullcrushers, please), but prefer the headphones that cover the entire ear. Two things are important to me, the ability to say that the direction of a sound and comes with a headset microphone to ASSISTANT (ie without clip-on microphones).
  Speakers – The same idea as headphones, completely lost. This is the least important issue, as I plan to spend 80% or more of my time with headphones. I sound that is somewhere between film quality and quality of music-mixing/editing.
