From what I have seen so far, FoF fans mainly want to make a custom FoF controller so that they can tap the fifth button. But most of us lack the expertise or time to make one of those. So here are some alternatives:

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite:

Some IBM keyboard:

The IBM keyboard would be a worse alternative, that part at the top blocks you from hitting the fourth and fifth.

Yeah it can, the only change is the windows key is swapped with alt, otherwise it works.

Well, I guess we can say it's because we want to be able to hit the keys, but......
Let's be honest, we all wanna be a rock star!
(and I've never seen one wailing a keyboard on stage)

Heh, give that silly toy keyboard about 6 months and it'll be a nasty, sticky, filthy piece of crap. Seriously, Mac keyboads get nasty quickly
Its just like life. Quite interesting in parts, but no substitute for the real thing.

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.

Ha. I went to the computer lab this week at my school, and they have those keyboards. I saw it and the first thing I did was turn to my girlfriend and say "This is the perfect FoF keytar!"
"So then, this Spartan jumps out of the closet, and Samuel will be all 'Im sick of these **** spirits in this **** 1408 hotel room!"

I've have that Microsoft Natural Elite for 5+ years now and love it. The 5 F-keys are great for FoF, but it suffers from the same inability to do 3-note chords like most keyboards.
