Has anyone tried Microsoft's SideWinder X4 anti-ghosting keyboard?  Found a few links on it:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/productdetails.aspx?pid=105

it says it can press up to 26 keys at once ;o
looks nice too, not so bulky as tarantula or g15

i bought it, it's very nice, but impossible for exactly aiming in BnG and the keylock is weird, sometimes it have keylock, you just play and then it happen for no reason, because u can try every key combination you wont find keylock but sometimes it just happen, that's a bit shitty but ye ^^ i wouldn't buy it again

Hmmm thats very weird indeed... maybe try to plug it in the ps/2 port with adapter, sometimes USB does weird things like key lag or repeating keystrokes...

hmm, keylock only sometime?  that still sucks :(  if you're sure you won't find keylock while testing (good place to test is http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/AntiGhostingExplained.mspx), it sounds like the keyboard or computer is dropping key presses.  either way, sucks..

anyway, I think I found a possible cheap kb for anyone in the US/Canada/Israel if they want to try to get it.  only $20

do NOT buy this kb actually
it does let you press a lot of keys at once, but the spacebar and arrow keys are messed up.  it misses key presses when pressing the keys rapidly, so it's awful for roping.

For a cheap kb that actually works for roping, get a Dell SK-8110.  Just got one for $5
