I dont know much about keyboards but im wanting to buy a new one now and so have done a little bit of research.
Ive decided to go for either the Razer Lycosa or the Razor Tarantula.
I like the fact that the keys are more flat like laptop keys on these kbs, unlike the G15.
Im more drawn to the Lycosa because its much smaller than the Tarantula and has rubber keys unlike the usual plastic ones.
Thing is, ive heard that the Lycosa doesnt have key lock protection (antighosting) on all of the keys, only on wasd. The only game ill be playing with it is worms so I dont want to have any keylock!
Do any of you own these keyboards? Some feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
+ What keyboard do you use? How is it for you?
-
I use G11 and I love it. Everything that I need :)
I remember Unique told me a lot about Razor. You can wait for his reply at least :)
-
g15, was a waste of money
-
I use G15 and I would want to sleep with it every night, I love it so much. It is just perfect.
-
XDD
-
I've had G11, G15 and currently I'm using Tarantula.
Tarantula owns G-series hands down, only minus is not having full backlight on it, just on the macro keys. It has definately faster response than G-series have, I don't fully like the arrow keys on Tarantula but you get used to them.
I've been looking into Lycosa recently, since it's supposed to have even more low-profile keys than Tarantula have, rubber keys and full backlight but yeah, it doesn't have full anti-ghosting, but I haven't tried it so if you get keylock when roping.
Get Tarantula, it's a really good keyboard.
-
I want to get the Lycosa for the reasons you stated, the tarantula I think is a bit too big for me.
Ive looked on the web but I still cant find a definitive answer about the keylock.
On some reviews it says that it hasn't got antighosting on all of the keys, it says it has them around the wasd cluster only although Im not sure if you can or cannot avoid keylock anywhere else... its annoying!
I dont understand why its so hard to get rid of keylock.. I mean my old crap compaq one didnt have any keylock... and especially for a "gaming" keyboard... why is it so hard to not have keylock on all the keys... isnt this ESSENTIAL for a gaming keyboard!??
Its frustrating cos I just wanna order one right now, the only thing thats stopping me is the issue of keylock on the Lycosa... man its annyoing not being able to know for sure if it will be an issue or not!
ah looks like i found my answer...
"Cons: if you're not a WASD player, BE AWARE you cannot use any combination of 2 arrow keys, and kp_0 (kp_ins) at the same time. for me this means i cant straif forward while crouched...... this is not a gaming keyboard, its a WASD player specific gaming keyboard, and its certainly not worth this much when 10$ boards work LIKE KEYBOARDS ARE SUPOSED TO WORK."
Looks like ill be getting a tarantula then
-
Ok done, bought a tarantula, it better be worth it free!
-
Congrats on your new keyboard ^^
-
Now i have shitty kb with keylock and all keys doesnt work anymore.. then i tried my friend's Microsoft SideWinder X6 and now im gonna buy it. Keys works awesome for roping and i didnt get keylock. Look for it too;)
-
Microsoft... I have enough of that. :D
-
been using my tarantula for one day now, and I love it!
The keys really respond well when roping, I feel I have much better arrow control now, although it'll take alot more time to fully adjust to the new interface.
-
cool! its razer tarantula? i should buy one
-
if u have enough money and u buy kb in thinking about worms, BUY RAZER TARANTULA... there is no better keyboard, it is the best one, for roping too. It works great with winamp also, and it is only one keyboard where u can press like 8 keys or more and all keys are working, no keylock and other shits.. And one of the most important thing about this keyboard, it has 1ms time reaction, other keyboards has 5 ms, so for roping it is just dream.. how many times u press space and it worked a bit later as u pressed it or it did not work? Unfortunatelly i dont have tarantula anymore but i must say it is the best keyboard on all world. Maybe it dont have stupid lcd like in g15, but what then ? why the hell is need stupid small lcd in keaybord.. g15 is MUCH worse than razer and it is same moneys, so if u think g15/razer take razer!
-
I have G15 and KinslayeR is right about one thing, I don't really use that LCD screen, sometimes, when I am playing I watch the clock on it and I also see if I get emails... No wait, then I do use it's functionality after all. :D
By the way, I cannot imagine anyone sensing 4ms difference. It is almost impossible to hit faster then 0.1 sec with your fingers, 4ms is just so fast one cannot sense it.
-
I don't think worms can receive rope strokes less than 0.030 or 0.040 second. (30 or 40 ms)
-
well, ya i bought g15 for wa and i stll dnt enjoey this kb.. im gonna put this shit on ebay, then i new razer for me :)
-
I enjoy my G11 mostly for coding. It has 18*3 G keys. I've never seen these many keys in any other keyboards.
-
anyone knows whats the diferent of:
razer tarantula, arctosa, Lycosa. if the fast reaction is the same in both, that mean they are all the same for worms. i would by lycosa. http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards
NAiL whats urs? im realy about buy a razer, since freeboy said that pwns his G series.. and thats true, G sould be realy good for wow, cs, etc.. but i tap in my g15 and i tap in a classic logitech (14€) its complettly the same...
-
I don't think worms can receive rope strokes less than 0.030 or 0.040 ms.
The game runs at 50 frames per second, that means 0.02 seconds for 1 frame. That basically means you could squeeze 50 effective taps in 1 seconds of gameplay, theoreticaly. :) So 1 out of 2 taps less than 0.02 seconds apart doesn't do anything.

lol beer did you not read my first post?
The arcosta is not in the same league as the tarantula or the lyosta. Get a tarantula m8!
I prefer it now becasue i dont wanna have all the light lit up, I dont play in the dark. You cant see the keys too well on the lycosta when they arnt lit up.
The tarantula feels really nice but the arrows are more left and down than on a normal kb so u gotta get used to the new position xD
-
i see! ya, if my roomate buy my g15 for 60€ i buy tarantula this week.. lets see xD
-
i have tarantula. It works more than 2 years
-
I only have a dog, no tarantula, my parents don't like spiders.

uhauha XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD+1
-
I badly need a kb (with usb input) that is already <in-roped> and well used, anyone interested in selling me one? :-[
-
g15 noyway
-
razer lycosa HAS A KEYLOCK, they dont give this info nowhere but it has, only 2 good things from razer are tarantula and mouse deathadder.
-
Kinslayer, they do say that Anti-Ghosting is only on WASD keys on Lycosa.
Razer has many good products, what you're talking about?
-
ae free
-
beer I dont understand why you havent responded... crazy wants to buy a used kb... you want to sell your g15.... communication!!!???
-
Shipping it costs more than a totally new one in a shop.
-
sure 60€ for my g15 v2 Orange. i have this since summer (3 month) its kinda new..
nothing is wrong with kb, just dnt feel confortable playing ropes with it.
-

kinda old thread, but I haven't seen it before. Well, I use logitech g15 v2 (red/orange one) and I like it. About terantula I read that it has lower keys then standard kbs, and I like feeling the press. hmm.. what I can say about g15, it has got soft keys, they are going down really easy and fast, so my tap became for the real faster. One thing I don't like is keylock, if u press 3 ARROWS at once. But it's just my still bad timing. For worms and roping it's really good kb IMO, but I have never tried tarantula so I can't compare them, what I'd like :) n pic beer, I wish I had those both kbs too some day
btw does tarantula have keylock if u press 3 ARROWS at once?
-
taran is nice maciej, did you sell your taran yet beer?
-
eya i sent it back after 1 days as i said. but i have to say, tarauntula is most beautiful and comfortable kb i ever seen. was just lazy to learn in new kb, diferent layout etc. but still fuking nice kb

I hear Razer are making an addon for that port at the top of the keyboard, specifically for wormers, ropers in fact!
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg10/mrmrmadden/f@#!INGCHUTEGODDAMMITARGRHRKER.jpg)
How are people finding that keyboard for finger rolling? If you don't fr, can you at least tell me how good you think it would be? :P
-
FUKKIN AMAZING!
-
hahahaha madden thats great! Im missing f8 alot more now seeing as the F keys are smaller xD
I dont fr, but when I do it its very responsive, theres no difference between fring and "normal" tapping in terms of how "good" a keyboard is for it.
-
ae
-
WOMGW thats best idea in a years man!:D
-
you can push it via head :p

7.5€/10$ Dell SK-8110
(http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/9d/24/PS2_BLACK_KEYBOARD_DELL_SK_8110-resized200.jpg)
might not be easy to find though because they now use SK-8135 for everything, and 'that' has keylock
-
50€ (http://static.scan.co.uk/Images/Products/919028-a.jpg)
-
I did some search before and I came across the Razer arctosa but it says it has anti-ghosting only around the WASD keys. You have it?
Thanks Franz but anyway it's not on sale apprently, and is'nt it cheap?
Before anyone post it I tried the Mircrosoft Sidewinder x4 and it's a piece of shit
-
I dunno what is anti-ghosting lol
or Buy a FLEXible kb hohoho
