Guys, I need a new keyboard. It's gotta be good for gaming, like good with rapid keytapping and stuff. Any suggestions?

Anyone?

Anyone?

I can only talk about the Corsair K60. It's nice and responsive. The big brother K90 has extra keys for MMO gaming. Both keyboards have red cherry (mechanical) keys, so that's a plus.
Otherwise it's probably Logitech who's the most loved brand. The G710 looks really nice.

Holy crap, it's $110. I'm looking for something under $50, if possible... maybe under $70.

Unlikely.

Gaming keyboards are often mechanical. Many often have LEDs in them, or keyboard mapping abilities, software, and are often made of more quality parts than budget keyboards. They also usually have a specially designed case. This puts the price up.

If you want a keyboard like that, you'll be paying nearer the triple digits usually.

That stuff is expensive :/
You can probably just buy a simple, cheap keyboard as well, if you can live with a tiny bit slower response time and possible ghosting issues in MMO's. Just stay away from wireless crap (especially mice).

I don't want a super fancy one, I don't need media controls or LEDs or those kind of useless features, but I would like anti-ghosting and mechanical keys if possible. I've seen a few decent ones like that on newegg and am wondering if there are any that you'd recommend.

My computer has "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" and this is loving up my installations. For example, Program A is installing to Program Files automatically, but the additional files for it are going to Program Files (x86) and I cannot get them moved to program files. It's annoying to look through both folders just for a file or program. Is there a way to prevent installations to Program Filex (x86)? I think deletion will screw up my computer

I honestly would just invest in a good one instead of a cheapy one.

Not sure, But I think that it has to do with 64bit and 32bit OS.

32 bit applications still install into the x86 folder though.

If you have a 64-bit system, Program Files (x86) is mandatory. Deal with it, it supports all applications so if there are problems, you're either not doing something right or the program you're installing sucks.

64-bit applications install into Program Files.
32-bit applications install into Program Files (x86).

I find it funny that they compete about it in the first place.

I think dog fashion shows are stupid but some people are still passionate enough about them to compete.

I tried running ubuntu off a flash drive on a school computer, firefox couldn't open because it wasn't responding
What am I doing wrong

[otto-san]

i'd like to get a second monitor for my PC and i wanted to know if there were any rules besides "make sure your computer actually has the correct output available (or have something that can let it)" i should know about
