my question is whether anyone has broken a keyboard as a direct result of FoF. i personally, have done this. i had pulled my keyboard out and the cord was next to my leg, and when i tried to stand up i kicked the cord and pulled it out of the ps/2 socket with the plastic part still in the computer. that stunk... and then on top of that, the keyboard i bought to replace my old one (which came with my computer btw) is crappier than the compaq one that came with my computer! i can't do any 3 note chord that requires the 4th and 5th frets to be held down.

I love the compaq keyboard I have <3. I'm actually surprised I haven't killed my arrow keys from Stepmania XD.

I picked up 10 keyboards for $10 off woot.com once, so I used them for stage antics like smashing it on the floor at the end of the song.

it wasn't because i was rocking too hard, i was standing up to go have dinner or something, but my leg caught on the keyboard which i had pulled out because of FoF... it still bums me out that my new keyboard is a piece of crap, and if i got one that wasn't i would have had to have spent a good $50...

Nope, haven't broken anything yet. Besides, I use an older keyboard that came with one of my old computers that can hit most 3 notes.

I just use it 'cause it's easier to play with being smaller, lighter, and has a smaller F-Gap than my wireless Dell one.

Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.

So long, farewell.
