I originally posted this thread looking for a backlit NKRO keyboard. I got a Deck Legend Ice Tactile in April 2010 and as of July 2012 could not be more satisfied (see post #9 in this thread).


If you would like information on mechanical keyboards I suggest looking at these two threads:

Not sure how viable for fast paced gaming this is, since this is wireless, but it does independently detect multiple key-presses and passed your test. A 4th simultaneous press has no effect - the 3rd letter continues to repeat.

For gaming i would recommend the steelseries 7g. It's the only keyboard specifically marketed towards gamers that has nkro.

Added more (full and partial NKRO). Here's a great source for information about high-quality keyboards (beyond NKRO):

I think they each have 7-key rollover but am looking for confirmation. Need to find more sources to verify.

Hi,
I was looking for a new keyboard with NKRO for games(more or less) and especially for music programs
What keyboard did you buy? Would you recommend it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I bought a Deck Legend in April 2010 and since then it has performed flawlessly. It has been used by a few people regularly, treated with respect, and was taken apart (easy) and cleaned once so far. Between the people who use it I suppose it's seen 4 hours of gaming and 8 hours of typing (writing PHP/HTML/JS/etc. as well as some novel writing) on average per day. In my opinion, it has proven its durability. It could pass for brand new today. Everyone who has used it has either liked it or loved it.

I usually use it at the lowest backlit illumination setting, which is adequate; but it can be set higher (7 levels) or off. I would not be satisfied with a keyboard that lacked backlighting with multiple levels (and off). I got one with tactile switches and have no regrets there (having tried all of the common Cherry switches).

I have no complaints or problems with this keyboard (understand that this is rare coming from me). Overall, I would recommend the Deck over any other I've ever tried. It's a quality product and worth the price in my opinion.

I thought about doing so but since there is good info available elsewhere (including the link Fourstaff provided), I just linked to that. Hope it helps. :)
