Keyboards with Cherry black switches are apparently recommended for that use case:

I use a Das Keyboard Ultimate with RTS games just fine. Most top players use keyboards with the Cherry MX black switches though.

I'm using the Das Keyboard Ultimate at home. Have played a few pc games (both FPS and RTS games) without any issues.

I wore out the 'S' key on my model-M; does that count?
