It's a fantastic keyboard with a great, minimalistic design and a compact footprint that doesn't take up a lot of desk space.
It's light, yet sturdy and has great tactile response from the keys. They feel somewhat like laptop keys, and the immediate response you get from pushing down a key to the moment it registers on the computer is noticeably faster than regular keyboards.
But there is one major problem: YOU CAN'T PUSH MORE THAN THREE KEYS DOWN or it won't register. This makes it impossible to hit notes/holds that involve three or more keys. (Technically, multiple key presses are supported... But only on the left side of the keyboard, where the WASD keys are. Perfect for FPS gaming, I guess. But absolutely horrible for music games.)
What a shame that a fantastic keyboard suffer such a minute, yet fatal flaw for a game like DJ Max.
You're definitely better off getting the Tarantula. I ordered one from Newegg, and am planning to return the Lycosa sometime tomorrow.
I just wish the Tarantula's profile wasn't so XBAWKS HUEG. I could've lived without the macro and media buttons on the far ends, along with the removal of the battle dock. It could easily have been remodeled to be the same size, or even smaller than the Lycosa.
This would've been the perfect keyboard if it could only support more key presses... |
Yeah, the tarantula is freaking huge, but it's still the best keyboard I've ever used. As for the Lycosa, tried one at a friends house and liked it, but then I read up and noticed that multiple inputs were online on the left side, which pretty much sold me onto the Tarantula. I've had this thing for 2 or 3 years now and it still works flawlessly.
