What kind of keyboard do you think is the best for Continuum?

I just got this Dell keyboard that's been working out really well; it's an older one, though. I had this one keyboard that was really ancient and had the really loud keys, and it was the greatest.

I don't think I can play the same without that keyboard.

I used to use a flat keyboard, HP i think. But never compared to my Microsoft split keyboard (natural elite) ... took awhile to get used too, but very nice!

Dont get one of those cheap multimedia keyboards that have play buttons, voilume control, hotkeys, etc, cause it intereferes with cont. For some reason, with 2 different multimedia keyboards that I bough, when I open cont, it automatically minimizes and wont maximize until I close the multimedia keyboard program.
It also intereferes with sc :

I never could get used to any 'natural-style' keyboards...to each their own, but I'll take a dull, plain ol' keyboard any day.

In the end, it's all a matter of personal preference...if you can play the game well with a natural keyboard, "regular" keyboard, or heck, telepathy or something...go for it.

TCDR: Agreed, "multimedia" keyboards suck. Don't use one of those.

@Fern

I hear you.

I remember a few years back when I was into the game hardcore it felt like the game was an extension of myself.

Sounds weird, but I guess I'm just a weird guy.

Those ancient keyboards with the loud stiff keys are the best, or better yet, typewriter keys.

Does anyone here have a wireless keyboard?

Interested in getting one, but wondered how they charge, and the battery length, etc.

Thanks

Im using an old windows soft keyboard, Im used to it, even got 1 spare
I heard someone (cant remember who, thought it was Xize/0ptix/kingbrian, old ORION, eg player) used a sidewinder gamepad. I always liked that gamepad, its like the best old gamepad alive, you could try out that
