    Any keyboard can do 3 keys simultaneously... I used a generic old eMachines keyboard and was able to use ctrl+shift+space all at once.

    I very much like my Logitech G11 keyboard. Didn't feel the need to go for the G15 with the readout. I'd recommend it to anyone needing gaming macros and other good stuff.

    Not to mention the infamous ctrl+alt+del combo...even with all the generic keyboards I've used.

    The 2 keyboard that come to mind when used in tandem with gaming; the G15 and the Tarantula
    Now I don't know much about the G15 but the Macros are a nice added advantage to any gamer. And they are aesthetically pleasing.
    I do however have the Razer Tarantula and I love it. As said earlier you can press 10 different key simultaneously, it’s comfortable, and you have 10 Macros as well as the 15 media keys. With the Razer all the keys are programable and I believe that It will store 5 different profiles onboard and even more on the computer!

    Only problem with these keyboards however is they are a bit pricey.

    Razer Tarantulas and Lycosas can do 10 keys at once, and Logitech G11/15 probably can do something like that too. Any generic $2 keyboard will do 3 keys at once... nothing special there.

    Don't think you'll get one on that budget, might need to push the boat out a bit more ;)

    Apart from the logitech another reasonable budget option (but still over $20) might be the wolf king keyboard...

    Any old keyboard will do. I would be surprised if many new keyboard would have problems with 5 keys. The record I have seen is eight keys. Mine can do five. asdfjjjjjjjjjjjj (as you can see)

    Does anyone know how many the Das keyboard can do? And where to get one in New Zealand. I need W, A/D, down, left/right and space or zero on the numpad.
