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.

-Spenser

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.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
