I've been thinking about using an Ideazon MERC as a keyboard for frets on fire, has anyone else tried this one out? Or would anyone suggest another keyboard?

I hear this is a pretty nice keyboard. Unless you're looking for the keyboards with like.... the buttons for turning and stuff. This keyboard is pretty straightforward. and the F1 - F12 buttons are easy to reach by wrapping your hands around. My keyboard is terrible for FoF because it has like a lip to it, and all kinds of media buttons in the way. So I suggest a real simple keyboard. The lighting is also pretty cool for like.... playing at night. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16823175103

Thanks, Nice suggestion and not too pricey either! I was hoping for something that had all of the F buttons closer together, what I mean by that is F5 closer or right next to F4.
I'm also wondering if I'll be able to hold down 3 frets and still strum.

Cool, could you get a copy of the game and or tell me if you are able to hold down 4 of the F1-F5 keys at once? That is required for playing chords in the game sometimes.


Thanks!

Thanks for checking, I know there is a razer keyboard that has anti-ghosting, but it is too large to play FOF with.

anti ghosting, is that just to be able to play more than 3 keys at a time because im not sure if you need that option for the game.

What about the apple keyboard? Don't know if it has anti-ghosting or not, but it's nice and small.

I'd recommend the Das Keyboard for a long lifetime, but it costs $80... but it's definitely worth it.
