looking for a new keyboard

[skullshivers]

im in the market for a new keyboard

id like it to be wireless but im not finding any good wireless keyboards that support more than 2-3 simultaneous key presses ... id like at least 4+

anyone here that has played gta san andreas can understand the need for a keyboard that supports so many key presses ...

as i mentioned, id like wireless but it doesnt have to be

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Example of a keyboard designed for gaming. (Don't know if this is a good one or crap)

Somebody show me a wireless ergo keyboard bundled with an MX700 or better wireless mouse. I don't think it exists.

it all has to do with how many buttons you can hold down simultaneously ... the one i have now only lets me hold down two buttons at a time ... any more than that and it ignores them

but there are gaming keyboards ie: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823161013

this particular keyboard lets you press up to 8 buttons at the same time ... the only problem i have with it is that its hardwired but it looks like im probably going to go with this one anyway

ive seen the Z-board and the Saitek, but I think...they're useless. Saitek has 27 programmable keys...meh. I'll handle. I have been for every single game before it was invented. the Z-board is just an unnecessary expense. $50+$30/keyset each game. Nothx

Saitek Eclipse. Much prettier and doesn't have the useless extra keypad.

Oh. So what's the point there? Demoted to unnecessary. Next?

i actually like the zboard

and you dont have to buy keysets for each game, just use the standard one, it makes things easy as pie
