... I want to have one. The problem is I had in my house for few weeks MS Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 and, although it was quite nice, I couldnt press w + shift + arrow up +arrow left or w + shift + arrow right + arrow down simultaneously, which made me impossible to fly jet in bf2 (and use it at all, tbh :P ). So Im worried if this problem appears in DMK3k too. I hope somebody here has / had this keyboard and may tell me if this problem appears. What chances are that it will crush on w + shift + arrow up +arrow left or w + shift + arrow right + arrow down like the Comfort Curve? Thx. If it hangs, would some driver update (?!) or registry modifying (?!?!!?) help me? Thx in advance.

PS

no 'get g15 / get lycosa' replies plz.

I had the curve 2000 and hated it ... went back the next day. I have the microsoft 500 and i am frequently getting the error noise when too many keys are pressed @ once

looked at the saitek keyboards?

Microsoft keyboards suck. Hard. For the sake of humanity, don't get one.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I have the Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard Pro, and it allows me to do this. Though, you can't assume that tacking on a 3000 means they just changed the plastic.

Also, the 3000 doesn't seem all that spectacular.

As said if you want an inexpensive keyboard look at Saitek they're decent for the money, MS stuff on the whole is shockingly bad (apart from the Reclusa but that's basically a Razer keyboard anyway).

The MS keyboards are great, but NOT FOR GAMING.

The ergo keyboards are amazing, and the regular ones work well for me, but for gaming I'll stick with the Logitech/Saitek ones.

Ok, so I took risk and i ordered the keyboard having no idea if its gonna hang, or not. It arrived half an hour ago . Hopefully it doesnt hang, its pretty good. Too bad it doesnt have background light and spacebar is bit too loud. I checked Saiteks but they are very inpopular in Poland, hard to get any, and if, they are quite expensive. (and Saitek Cybor Keyboard is friggin gay, so many colors, lol like in cheap, old, s-f movies)

i had logitech ultra flat or something like that... i loved it... but one week ago during intensive dofighting my up arrow button just got fked up... some sand-grain sized elements crushed and i couldn't use this button anymore... I got pissed, but I promise myself my next keyboard will be illuminated... and will be razer / logitech

For illuminated you could go for the new smaller g15.
