Should I buy a DC keyboard?

You know, for typing of the Dead and stuff? Although TotD also has a Windows port I guess.
The price is 4 Euros, and it comes in box, but I'm not just asking if it's a good price as much as is it even worth having a DC keyboard anyway (other than for "collecting" purposes).
By the way, I play FPSs on the PC, I don't think I'll start playing them on the DC (and I don't have a DC mouse) so that is one less use for it.

Yes. Typing of the Dead is worth the price of the keyboard! In all seriousness, it's probably better to get the Dreamcast version since in my experience console ports have weird problems with newer PCS. (Psi-Ops being a good example)
Chances are you'll find the game with the keyboard anyway.

Let me ask you this, will you ever see a DC keyboard for that price again?

Get it! I paid way more for mine. Plus, I think it was Niode that told me the PC version isn't that good, and the multiplayer has some annoying lag to it. I would get the mouse, too. Isn't there FPS for the DC that aren't on the PC?

Typing of the Dead's pc port is rubbish. Lag at odd intervals and the lan play is trash.

Not that I'm aware of. The only ones that I hear people talk about are Quake III and Unreal Tournament '99, both of which are better on the PC. That upcoming indie Dreamcast FPS is available for the PC as well.

there's homebrew FPS releases that I don't think are on PC. Like that Christmas Doom mod.

Wouldn't a DC Doom mod work on the PC version?
