Meh, maybe you're just used to the feel of it from using it so long.

I'm pretty knowledgeable (computer savvy) so I know it's nothing on my end. I run with V-sync off always for every game I play. I also run on a BenQ 144hz monitor refresh rate 1ms response, as smooth as possible, paired with a i7-4790k, Nvidia GTX 970 and 16gb RAM so it's not my PC man lol.

I'm glad you enjoy it, I just simply didn't. Tried and tested and no Bueno for me. A $70 keyboard shouldn't have key lock anyways it's a great keyboard for typing but I wasn't satisfied with its performance in games, as I said, I liked one thing about it, the scissor switches, the F keys are way to tiny and the enter key.

Both TOMT and sock have used the k740 as well and both disliked it. TOMT has told me the same thing that I am stating about the input lag, even ask him mate, lol.

I'm not arguing over a keyboard tho, you like the k740, that's all that matters. it's not for everyone

Re-opening this topic that Doug posted since he asked me too based on my decisions about certain keyboards I've used lately

For anyone interested in getting a good keyboard for worms, or gaming in general. I will give my 2 cents on what keyboards are nice and what I didn't like about some. Note that this is all user preference and everyone has a feel  for different things so one keyboard might not work best for others and vice versa.

Keyboards used (earliest to latest)

1.) old school ps/2 logitech access multimedia rubber dome kb - this kb was amazing for roping... just wayyyyy too old and tons of input lag, key presses and double taps were good though. Wish they made PS/2 only gaming boards

2.) steelseries 6gv2 - this was my first entry level mechanical gaming kb with Cherry MX Black switches. I liked it, but always missed the feel of rubber dome/scissor switch keypresses that you get off a laptop feel. The switch (black) also has a heavy spring so it takes longer to reset after bottoming out the key, which helps with double taps. For a mechanical keyboard, it's cheap and simple, around $90.. so it's a good entry level mech board if you want to go down that path. And has a USB to PS/2 adapter

3.) corsair K95 RGB Vengeance - second mechanical keyboard, great for first person shooters and such or if you just want your keyboard to look fancy with backlighting etc. I've been roping on this keyboard for a few months. The switches are Cherry MX Reds, which are linear just like blacks, but have a lower actuation force and lighter spring. I like Blacks a lot more. The feel of a mechanical keyboard is totally different than a rubber dome/scissor switch keyboard.

4.) Logitech K740 Illuminated - Idk why everyone hypes up this keyboard, I experienced issues with it, but it is good nonetheless because of it's scissor switches, at least that's why I think so. I tried 2 different K740's as well and both had same results in the input lag and delayed response of arrow key control. I also experienced keylock on certain keys which is no good for gaming. The F keys above the numbers up top are way too small so it's very hard to press them with memorization in tense moments. The enter key is very small too, not my liking. Some people love this keyboard for the scissor switch keypresses (which resemble basically what a rubber dome keyboard is, membrane keys). I liked the keyboard simply for that purpose, the scissor switches... which leads me to my next keyboard that I will be using and why.

5.) Cougar 200K - Recommended to me by Doug. He currently uses this keyboard and loves it. He has told me the cougar 200k is a beauty, compact, low price, and totally playable. Best part about this keyboard (I have read reviews) is that it provides a very large Enter key, decent sized F keys, and it is gaming oriented which has a 19 key anti-ghosting, so anti-ghosting (no input lag either on the keyboard) is on the important keys, such as Shift+WASD+Space+Arrows+TAB and some more that I forget off the back of my hand. The keyboard uses scissor switch type mechanism just as the K740 does, but without input lag and ghosting and bigger F keys. It's very inexpensive in the USA, I paid $30 + shipping for the keyboard. For a budget keyboard, this is the one to go too.

So in summary, I just wanted to give a little report on the keyboards I've used and such so wormers can kind of get a feel of what they could buy if they are looking to upgrade their equipment.  It's basically what you want in a keyboard, scissor switch or mechanical. All on personal feel and taste.

smoked your time, Kinslayer. You now need to serve 15 more years in jail m8

HAHA, i mean if i was drunk i'd bang her...

Now if you wanna talk about hot TV show characters, Lagetha from Vikings is smoking.

I used these settings http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1262922-open-broadcaster-software

Yea that's a good page to go to for a bit of help on setting up your stream. Depending on how good your CPU is... it can vary... I stream at 720p resolution downscaled from 1080p @ 60fps. Most people stream at 30fps tho... I like the 60 fps especially for first person shooters and such and it makes the rope games look nice as well since W:A runs at 60fps internally.

I can help you out tho Komito if you wanna arrange something and we can catch up like good ol' times

I can help you setup your OBS Komito if you need too. I stream as well from time to time

Okay so this is my point exactly on why I wanted a rope league implemented into TUS.

I just played VoK 11 games in a row, mainly all Ropers, maybe 1 or 2 WxW's... I also use the TUS Analyzer before I play, but... still I think this point system is retarded.

I lost 6 games out of the 11, and I won 5.

VoK earns 337 points.
I earn 105 points (Not to mention all the points I lost and he barely lost).

How in the hell is that even fair? Makes absolutely no sense to me, it just baffles me. It's like your playing against someone who knows how to rope... but it's not their best scheme, but they are still capable of beating you... maybe thru luck or whatever it may be, some skill, still.... how is that close to being fair when you know that you can play someone and not lose many points but earn a shit load? While the other person has everything on the line knowing if they lose they are f*cked but if they win they get jack shit? Stupid. But it's whatever. Point systems so broken that I'm about to just resort to playing 2v2 or clanners only from now on.

I understand that my rank in roping is high... but it's still literally unfair in my eyes that somebody can look at your stats, play you with the knowledge of knowing if they lose they won't suffer from it, but if they win (cause they know they aren't the worst roper) they will get a good chunk of points. F*ck it.

Didn't you and bisc discussing it 5 posts ago?

That is for the hypothetical new rope league, as I said I would rather tus classic remained the same

I do think the scheme has a lot of merit though, it's different tactically and actually less luck-based than roper in my opinion, but I'm not saying it should replace roper or anything.

Yeah. I'm totally with spleen on this one. TUS Classic should remain untouched. There's nothing wrong with it. The whole point of this thread and idea was to just branch out a rope league for ropers (not intended for ground players or people who are content already with Classic). Also it's for people who hit game limit caps in Classic/each season and can just go over to the rope league and play their games for fun. I think adding ZaR to the rope scene would be cool, it's definitely a nice scheme I like it a lot (Cave ZaR i don't care much for). But.. ZaR reminds me of worms 2 style ropers with 12 second turns, no parachute so if you mess up, you're done... and of course... zook only which makes attacks harder and not dropping a mine 0.4mm away from your opponents worms head Oh and of course, the lovely random mines
