Keyboard - LK1 raptor gaming (20 comments)

( Forum: HW)

Posted by xou @ 00:31 CST, 18 December 2010 - iMsg

That's the first time I actually see an interesting/sober keyboard made for gaming. And that thing is only 20€.
If that ever distributed in France I think I'll get one.

Pros:
- 3m USB cable
- anti-ghosting
- can block individual keys (no more removing the window key in my kb)
- price

Dun care:
- some red keys (they assume everyone either use W,S,A, D or arrows)
- water-resistant
- small plastic tool to remove keys

It has red key caps on WASD so it means it's a gaming keyboard and it not like any of the other keyboards at the same price or cheaper that do the exact same job.

I used a lot of keyboard in this price range since I fuck them up quick fast. They rarely have anti-ghosting and the USB cable is usually short. So I'd guess no, they don't do the exact same job.

Red is only to attract the idiots' attention

"Red is only to attract the idiots' attention"

or is it?

maybe the red keys have a different feel to them to make it easier to find some keys while you're looking at the screen in games like SC2 (assuming you don't use the grid key-layout). I believe I recall some WC3 putting griptape on some keys to do just that.

Might be a good one, if it will be produced by cherry, like their other keyboards.

anti-ghosting, 3m cable and water-resistant kb for 20 :o
thats awesome tbh

does anyone know if "water-resistant" is good enough to save my kb after spilling half a cup of coffee over it?

Sounds like the investment doesn't need to be in the keyboard, it needs to be in the cup!

To tell you the truth most keyboards based on rubber membranes survive water/coffee/coke etc spills very well. You just gotta take it apart and wash with clean water.

hmm, the 2 times it happened to me i instantly unplugged the kb, got the liquid out and let it dry for a day. but both times some keys were dead

Open the keyboard up and clean the contact patch under the rubber membrane.

Like you never dropped tv remotes into beer glasses huh?

It seems that depends on the model very much. I too had two membrane keyboards die on me, one even because of plain water.

Water one was a cherry with some special multimedia buttons, damn I loved that keyboard :/

Depends on the location of the spill. If you spill on the control circuit, which is below them membrane, you can ofcource fry it.

neh it was the membrane switches that got damaged -by water- I cleaned my beloved cherry so many times but it was damaged beyond repair.
that's also why I didn't get another one of those, a touch of water and that's 50€ down the drain no thanks

If my g15v2 break anytime and I want something cheap I will buy
OCZ Elixir keyboard.

I am so used to G keys on the left hand side of keyboard that I need that row of keys for my macros. I tried sidewinder x6 and its a shit keyboard. I will never buy MS hardware they are crap.

I've had the OCZ Elixir keyboard and it was pretty bad. Was barely able to press 3 keys at once IIRC. Rather save the money and get something good.
