The comfort curve would never be used on a gaming keyboard. Gamers would avoid it because of the fact they'd have to learn how to reposition their hands to access all the correct buttons.

So? I've learned how to play on a natural keyboard in pretty short time.

I think it's a nice keyboard. I think it looks better than the G15, but that's just me. Will be waiting for this and probably I will get one. Is this released yet?

I see there are some missing features, such as a Windows Key disabler and a button to switch off the backlight.

Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard

I bought this keyboard few weeks ago.

I tested on windows vista and XP and I have same problem.

Problem is keyboard in some combinations of buttons don’t want respond if I keep 2 buttons and want to press 3rd one.

Example - If I press "RIGHT ARROW"+"UP ARROW" and I press "0" (num zero) = Zero won’t work

- If I press "~"(grave)+"A" I can’t press any other button (I can but it won’t work ofc)

- W+S = you can’t press Q button

I found this problem in few games that I am playing but you can test it in TXT doc... Just open txt doc and try those combos

For example press W+S in same time and then press Q,you will see that Q letter will not write down on TXT document.

So if you have Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard and don’t have those problems please confirm.

I bought this keyboard so I can play normally games and skip problems with key support which my old one (5e) keyboard had.

And then I bought keyboard which have name GAMING and it is NOT (light is cool, keys are soft and its good for typing but they should call this one Multimedia keyboard not GAMING!)

Hmm. Crazy curves for comfort? Looks too big. Isn't a great keyboard one that is simply robust and that allows multiple keys being pressed?

Looks more like a gadget than a utility thing. The same goes for the Logitech ones with those useless LCD displays. I guess if they say "Gamer's keyboard" then Gamers must have them :ninja:

Why do people keep saying its ugly? its a keyboard, its not used to pick up girls or guys, you dont take it to the bar or out on dates with you. Its a keyboard, its used to type and play pc games, if it does that, who gives a sh&* what it looks like. Then again most people nowadays pick an os thats pretty and games only on graphics so I typed all this for nothing.

I bet you typed all of that on an ugly keyboard.

Oh yeah? Well I bet you typed all of that on your momma's face!!

As for the keyboard, it looks fine to me. What do you expect? How good could it look? It's a f^cking keyboard. Some of you may sit there, staring at your keyboards for hours on end, but I sure as hell don't ;)

If you are die-hard gamer, gaming and wireless is a no-go. Most if not all gaming attributes are wired.

If you're a die hard gamer, you can play on a keyboard made out of splintered wood and you'll still "own".

That is not true and that is not point of this post either.

Only thing about HC gamer should care is to have keyboard with full multiple keys support - look,lights and all others extras are not necessary @ all.

About Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard, I told already in my post that I have some issues with some combinations of keys (multiple keys), and I would like to some 1 help me or @ least tell me does any 1 else have those problems what I posted on page2 of this topic.

Because If all others ppl with Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard have same problems (as I do), with some combinations of keys then you can’t call this keyboard gaming (@ least till Microsoft fix this issues) and just buy Logitech instead and HF.

If your "skill" (chuckle) is dependent on the hardware you use, you aren't much of a gamer.

Ah but then I guess there are still people who think CS/Quake are the ultimate display of "ubar p00n4g3" whilst truly skill requiring games like Tribes are never used in competitions. Perhaps they're simply too complicated for some people.

If I were to pick up a Microsoft keyboard, it'd be this:

I already did....it's garbage!

I exchanged it for a SAITEK eclipse.

LOL!

"Reclusa"? THAT is the name? As in . . . "recluse." As in, living in your parents' basement playing WoW 24/7 on your tricked-out keyboard?

Yeah, that's about right.

I honestly think this is what they were going for...

I see you ar eon a keyboard where it's very different to use the following keys in combination

o n e and a t among others, ith these serius problems making you replace these words with 1 and @ it makes you look a bit like an anoying leet wannabe kid, so I suggest you get a new keyboard so you can write properly.

As for wired vs wireless... yeas, many years ago, wrieless wasn't that good for gaming. today... it really doesn't matter, the only place there's any real diffrerence between wired and FastRF wireless devices(notice Id id not say BT device) is in the head og thegamers, and is called a placebo effect. They believe there's a delay, so there is a delay.

^^^I like how people like this don't seem to realize that you press the exact same amount of keys to get '@' as you do 'at'. You aren't saving any time (not that you would be if you were pressing less keys) and you don't look cool.

Well I am sorry because I use to use those shortcuts and plus my English suck, wasn’t my attention to give you a reason to boost your amount of posts on this forum.

I don’t get it, if you can help then help give some tip or an advice, don’t post something which don’t have any connection with this TOPIC.

I only posted here because I have problem with Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard, and don’t think so it will be sorted if you guys using this topic to boost your number of posts on this forum.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
