Needing a keyboard
xShadow:
Well, case solved. I went to the thrift store today:
http://www.monstermarketplace.com/new-and-used-computer-equipment/hp-sk-2560-p-n-5187-0341-ps-2-internet-multimedia-keyboard
Got one of these for 2 dollars (yes, I know, it's f'n OLD).
It doesn't have the whole N-Key thing, but it does at least do WASD well. You can't do all four of WASD at once, but you can hold up to three of them down with no conflicts, which is exactly what I was looking for. The entire thing is plug and play, too. Unlike my previous HP, it the volume up, skip track, etc. all worked right out of the box (well if there was a box). It's a pretty nice for the price, and it's certainly exactly what I was looking for.
THE THRIFT STORE IS F'N AWESOME.

What a bargain, $2.
Looks like something I can jam on stepmania and other rhythm games.

that article was excellent. using aqua's test there showed me that my antique "crappy" PS/2 Logitech Internet Pro keyboard (≈15$ or cheaper) has better than expected results (6-7-8KRO, passes gaming button combinations, and basically rulz). I'll think twice before changing it now. Unless it dies on me, I won't. It's lived for 6 years so far and it works extremely well.

I don't mean to do a huge necro, but I didn't want to make a new topic for this.
Basically, I was looking through Newegg's Black Friday sale and noticed this little gem (well to me it's a gem):

Thirty bucks. I was rather enthralled with simply looking at that price tag for a little while.
Then, I promptly ordered it.
Just a heads up to you BakaBT folks. I'm generally not an impulse buyer, but to me that was irresistible.

xShadow, did you compare the Sidewinder X4 keyboard to the current Sidewinder X6 keyboard and its accessories before buying?
