I found that the IBM keyboards (hard to find now) can handle the abuse
and I love the touch on them. I originally learned to type on a manual
and then a Selectric so I am used to the feel. They are much more
expensive (I think I spent around $50 each) but I haven't replaced one
in 10 years so I think the investment paid off.
In regards to the OP I think the problem is the system is too busy at
the moment and ignores the keystrokes. I hate hitting a key in combat
and the game ignores me. I know the keyboard is not the problem as I
have no problems in other programs.
