Keyboard compatibility list

[Gnork]

ok, list is up-to-date
Any more known keyboards with or without a keylock?

the IBM keyboards used for the Barcelona olympics in 1999 are pretty good for roping

Installed Worms Blast on PII 350 Mhz with a new graphics card (otherwise it wouldn't work).
Keyboard freezes and cannot get out when playing.
I have KVM so i removed the KVM (except Video side), plugged the keyboard and the mouse directly in to the PII.
Still freezes after a few keystrokes of playing.
Tried googling and looking around team 17 Blast microsite. No mention of the problem.

Worms Pinball works - not tested with the new Graphics Card.

The mouse is 3 Fujitsu M-S48 (p/n pk080131)
Keyboard: Fujitsu e105 (p/n PK040652)
both are PS/2 ports

digimore made a nice keyboard for this problem.. i cant buy one where i live though

Its got 6 key rollover for usb, and 17 key rollover for PS/2.
Its also got very small laptop keys for quicker reations.
I want one.

digimore capacity chocolate keyboard KB-801

Can you find anywhere that specifically says it supports 17 key rollover? Or the price, at least?

Looks interesting for people who prefer scissor switches and a very low profile, but those F-keys really seem way too small for use in the faster Worms schemes.

The company that makes the keyboard, digimore, emailed me saying it has 17 key rollover for PS/2 and 6 for usb.
I cant give you direct proof. Or first hand proof.

We finally brought out scissor-type chocolate keyboard with 17 keys rollover if interface is PS/2. For USB, maximum N-key rollover is 6 keys

I would love to know the price aswell, all i can find at the moment are wholesale websites.

I used to love roping on a keyboard with small laptop style keys, but i had to remap [space] to the [V] button.
I had a keyboard that worked fine, but it had big buttons, my reactions were better on a low profile keyboard for the little RR maps.
Got fedup in the end, couldnt chat online properly with the buttons remapped, couldnt play at best with the chucky buttons

An alternative program for testing how many keys you can press at once is this. Test the key combinations you will be using or are likely to use and it should display the correct total number of keys being pressed down, if it shows less then the keyboard is failing to detect all the keys you are pressing.

With that I've determined that the Acer SK-9620 keyboards have a U+L+Space keylock. (I'm at school at the moment )
