With many import sites selling out of the keyboards, and no US release in site, are you suffering from Keyboard Envy?

Spy

No. I have a keyboard. Why should I be envious of myself? That would be a criminal misuse of envy.

Stuff it already Spy. You are such an antagonist. *prays they have a domestic keyboard at launch, so she can see Spy eat crow*

Pray. Harder.

It will take a miracle for a keyboard to get pushed out by release. Literally.

Why would I be envious of a 60 dollar keyboard? OK so I can't converse with people online, big deal. I'm not wasting 60+ S/H bucks for that, it's rediculous. I'd rather buy a game (NHL2k3 out soon :D) with that amount of money and have some change left over for lunch.

So to answer the question, nope. I'll wait for a 20-30 dollar one kthx.

I'll be using X-box LIVE voice chat. I won't need to type out what I need to say. I can run, gun, and still hold a conversation. =)

I intend to this time around actually.

What, just because they are a female character automatically means they have to be a woman in real life?

I think the majority of people realise that you can't just expect someone to be what their character is.

No. I can see it though. Cute lil' fomarl just beggin' to be porked when the player says in gruff 19 yr old man voice "C'mon guys! Let's go kick some rappy ass!" The cute factor dies fast that way.

I think the voice chat is kind of lame. I agree with Spy on this one that seeing a female toon, then hearing some gruff guys voice behind it kind of ruins the whole 'phantasy' part of it for me.

Plus I made my living in radio. If I'm going to be speaking into a mic, I want to be getting paid for it.

I'm holding out for hopefully a 3rd party or homemade keyboard. I hate the Japanese ones - the keys are much too small for me.

I wish they released a dvorak version. Or a way to remap the keys. Oh well.

Amen. As long as you drink Pepsi you're down in the Cool Book of People Deemed Cool by the RAmar Ninja Consorteum.

P.S. Your sig kicks ass X'D

Yes, you stupid RAmar ninjas.

I really liked having a keyboard seperate from the DC pad. I got really good at using it one handed before. I could run around in Ruins typing with one hand. As time passed I could no longer do this and put down the controller to type as I do today.

I can see this keyboard/controller hybrid being pretty handy if its not as heavy or small keyed as they say now. Yet there probably won't be a huge difference in model/style from the JP one so I'm out of luck.

Hmmmm...Well, I'll wait for the US one. I have very long fingers and those small japanese keys would really tick me off. Heck, even the standard KB's for my PC are tough to work on. I have a special Logitech one I bought just for freaks like me. But seriously, I will wait for the American KB, and hopefully it is seperate from the controller. I am accustomed to using two devices for my games anyway. Being a hardcore FPS enthusiast (If you ever see DARK_FACT in Unreal Tourney...its me) I can put a KB on my lap and hit the keys with a 90% success rate when not even looking where my hand is place, im simply that attuned to working things out by starting at the WADS keys.

Anyway, I am telepathic, and can communicate via brain waves.

Well, provided the person I wish to communicate with has a brain.

No, I'm not. I won't be online for a while, anyway. And I'be got some pretty |33+ in-game keyboard skillz, anyway. Comes from Kingdom Hearts, Animal Crossing, and Halo. But god, dude... Don't you think you should give us some rest about yer keyboard, now? We know you have it and are proud. It would be funny if there was a US keyboard at release...

Ugh.. I cancelled my order. I had a chance to use one today for a little bit, and I can't stand it. The keys are way too small for me. I rather wait it out a bit more.

Spy.. I bet you're going to come out with "I have a keyboard and you don't" post everyday until PSO comes out, aren't you?
