When you say set, I'm assuming you mean the mouse as well. What kind of grip are you? Palm? Claw? Fingertip? I'm a claw gripper and the Diamondback 3G wasn't really my mouse, so I'm gonna try the DeathAdder/Sidewinder.

£17.00 ($24 USD) for a compact keyboard with slim key caps and scissor switches encased in a diamond cut aluminum housing that has 2x USB 2.0 ports 1x Microphone, 1x Headphone ports and zero degree tilt? even comes with a micro fiber cloth to clean it. if you want to paint it the housing pops right off all you need to do is unscrew 8 screws go get some newspaper, sand paper, can of primer and a can of paint. you could paint it a nice black, camo or a mirror finish. even if only one store in the UK sells it and it's discontinued you should get it. great deal! definitely recommend this to anybody in the UK searching for a new keyboard.

yeah i do want the keyboard but i heard the site got bad services which putted me off

AutoHotKey can assign 2 different macros to 1 key by create profiles by active window so if you create a macro for the C Key for Call of Duty 2 to do whatever and create a macro for the C Key for Winamp to do whatever once you exit Call of Duty 2 the C Key macro will be disabled and once you open Winamp the C Key macro will be enabled and vice versa. I have never really needed more than 4 or 5 binds for games the last time I complained I ran out of keys was when headsets didn't exist and we used to use team chat scripts.

Well like I said I run several programs at once, and so I need keys for each action. Between maybe 3-4 programs I usually run, I use about 175 keys or so. It wouldn't do well to be able to use them at different times - need to be able to use them at the same time.

@ Reventon: DAMN! 150 key's?! you must have fast finger's? the ladies must love you! :laugh:

:toast:

You bet Just look at my ex :D!

well Simulators like Flight Simulator, Lock-On and Il-2 Sturmovik have every key on the keyboard already binded because the controls are advanced and quite extensive. can't imagine a racing game requiring more.

Oh you'd be surprised. There are SO many actions that are equally useful, like camera adjustment, brake bias, gear keys if needed, headlights and such, and the list goes on. I have used up most of the keys on my keyboard already and still have yet to bind many of the keys for cameras and such. I'll take a screenshot of the list sometime to show you.

Like I already also said, I have a standard keyboard with 104 keys. That's about 50 short. I think a keyboard with extra keys plus an extra keypad would be nice.

Today I have (use) the Razer Lycosa. Excellent keyboard. But it will never beat my "Happy Hacker II" keyboard.. That one was unbreakable, did not have any lights or "anti-ghosting" feature. And it still did cost more than the Lycosa...

Technical you had a Happy Hacker? thats one series I deliberately left out of this thread because some of them are very expensive ($250-300) and pretty unrealistic anybody would buy them including me it's expensive because it uses capacitive switches. another one that uses capacitive switches is the Realforce made by the same company the Realforce also features a variable weight system for the keys so the keys you would type with a pinky finger would be lighter. sounds so soothing though makes me want to buy it :(

Just got my Scorpius M10, have to say I'm impressed with how it feels. Much better than I anticipated, I don't have time currently to do a full review but it definitely feels better than any keyboard I've used in the past few years.

I went into this thinking it wasn't going to be a big difference, to be honest I was shocked.

List the keyboard I've had a chance to use (for extended periods of time) in the past few years in no specific order.
Logitech G15
Saitek Eclipse I and II
Logitech UltraX(Scissor Switch keys)
Logitech Wave
Z-board
Generic Dell and HP
Many different laptops

I've also had a chance to use a Lycosa and the Tarantula from Razer. But no extended
time with them.

From the reviews I read about quality control being an issue, I can say I don't have any keys that are hard to press any keys that are working intermittently or any other issues people have talked about in the reviews online.

Comparing it to my most recent keyboard, the Logitech Wave, well...There really isn't any comparison, the M10 feels completely different but in a good way. It really does feel different than any keyboard I've used.

The feedback provided from the Cherry MX Blue switches offers both an audio feedback as well as the tactile feedback. I first purchased it I was worried that it would be harder to press than any previous keyboard. Completely wrong, if anything these feel like the correct pressure to press keys with.

When first typing on the keyboard, the difference is quite substantial. I found myself enjoying how the keys felt and the sound they were making, confidence in each keystroke.

To the claims that this will make you type faster and more accurate, I could actually see that. But with my short time with this keyboard so far, I'm not sure if there's been a difference or not. Through the typing test, I did average a few WPM more upwards of 85-88 through all the test compared to before 78-82. That may be due to how tired or awake I was at that moment. More testing will need to be done after I've grown better accustomed to the M10.

I let both my room mates use the keyboard, they both agreed that it feels great, but I didn't give them a long time with it. ;)

I really don't see any reason to say this isn't the best keyboard I've used to date. Keyboards are really a personal opinion, and this is mine. I hope to be using this keyboard for a long time, if the keys feel the same in a year, then the price was definitely warranted and I will be extremely happy with my purchase.

your iOne Scorpius M10 looks different than the product picture and the ones I have seen.



I wonder if it's possible iOne has a entirely new batch. I know the Matias Tactile Pro 2.0, SteelSeries 6G and ABS M1 had new batches I think all three of them had problems with modifier keys whenever you hit Alt + CTRL + Shift it would register as Alt, CTRL, Shift. those Amazon reviews of the iOne Scorpius M10 are 2 years old. sounds like $49 well spent to me.

Just re-reading over the reviews on amazon, I don't seem to have any issues. Even the case doesn't appear to be as cheap as one of the reviewers mentioned, mine barely flexes when twisting. Granted I've yet to take the back off to inspect the solder, but unless I have an issue with it I don't believe I will.

I'm happy with it, and also happy with the fact that I was ready to put out the extra $80 or so for the Das and didn't have to.

another feature the iOne Scorpius M10 has that I didn't know and Kenshai can't show because of his cell phone camera is a unique texture.



the person who took this photo called it a "silt texture" when I google silt this is what I get.



SteelSeries 7G also has this texture.

can add one more Mechanical Keyboard to the list the Raptor K1 but don't get excited it looks like the most expensive one yet £129 ($176 USD) comes with a silt texture, euro layout (not sure if US is available), 8 additional fluorescent keys, key lock clips, key changer and 2x USB 1.1 ports.



it uses cherry mx brown with gold contacts similar to the SteelSeries 7G (below) except they use cherry mx black with gold contacts. I believe standard contacts are silver, they choose gold for maximum conductivity similar to gold plated USB ports.

Which makes no difference whatsoever in performance. Gold is just more resistant to oxidation. SO over time, yeah, it may make better contact, but when new, it doesn't make a difference, even with USB ports, or any other electrical contact you can find in your home, including your A/V equipment. Gold plating is pretty much a marketing ploy.

Why would you get such a thing, this is all I use, and for $2.25 a cable I can't complain. :rockout:

Oh wow, marketing at it's best I suppose. $5 though is a steal compared to what some companies charge.

I like a Mini Keyboard. It's not the easiest one around to use, but it's certainly the easiest one to carry.

That's a bit tiny for my, I have big hands. I suppose I could get used to it, would probably feel similar to the diNovo mini, At least key size wise.

Bumblebee you should join the TPU Peripherals Club ;)

I have one to add to the list. The I-Rocks KR-6230. It's got cherry browns and USB with good rollover zones for gaming. The only thing that peeves me about this keyboard is the placement of the ? key.

Benchmark Scores Meh benchmarks.
The Mechanical Switch is the best to go for. And one of the worsted i find which is most common is the dome switch as after time the keys start to catch.

Dam price is a ripp for Mechanical Switch ones.

EDIT:
Cracks me up people still think gold plating does shi noticeable to the human. Maybe a difference if ya was a computer..
