haha homie you need one with lights. i would suggest a mechanical keyboard.

mechanical keyboard have different kinda switches that come down to personal taste. if you like a set type of switches then pick the board that has them


there is alot of option right now. alot of companys are now making them. corsair,coolermaster an a few other companys so look around

or you can always get the one i have the http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryId.35156900 the ultimate black widow. the problem is alot of people have bad luck with razer seems very hit ot miss. if you get a good one things are great. but seems alot of defective ones get out to market

if you try to be the best at something even the smallest differences have a huge effect. honestly in a game like d3 it won't matter as this is a mouse clicking game mostly. but in other games it can make a huge difference.

Programmable macro keys, backlit keys, anti-ghosting capabilities, etc
Upper end gaming boards have LCDs that display system information, in-game stats, VOIP info, system performance and FPS.

this man did a good job explaining alot of them. low latency and fast response is a big issue.some games take alot of apm . like starcraft2 for example. it seems meaningless but delays add up. ever notice you type a keyboard an it misses key strokes because your typing to fast? that missed keystoke could mean you didn't build your next fighter like you thought an now will be behind in numbers. fps really get alot oif help from keyboards also. now granted to the causal player it might never matter. but if you are trying to be one of the best it really makes a a big difference. as even the smallest mistakes is the difference between winning an losing

this is not a very good company. they are said to of made some big improvements over the last few years. madcatz is known for making cheap controllers an such. they never lasted long an was always aimed at low end. a few years back they started adding higher end products like there flight sticks an now the rat mice. maybe they are great now but with there bad history it takes some time to rebuild your name. with that said i think i will order there rat 7 mouse today to test it out. but i really would not put much trust into this company.
