Default Logitec Gaming Keyboard

I have been reading up on the New Logitec G15 gaming keyboard and this thing looks sweet. Newegg.com - Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard - Retail

I have been wanting to by a keyboard with extra macro keys and some back lighting and this has it and more. It is a little spendy, but from what I have read I think it would be worth it. There is also a model without the LCD screen that is about $15 less. I guess the big thing is going to be will there be support or not?

Anyway, just thought I would share,

Roger

Also, as I recall, One4 has one of these G15 keyboards. You might want to PM him and ask how he likes it!

The g15 has been out for a little while now. Long enough to have developed a fairly devoted following. Some of the following links are to other forums where they discuss the G15 and the LCD. Check out:

I have one. If you wanna make use of the LCD, you need the drivers before the latest available on the Logitech website and a free software called LCDStudio. Else, out of the box the LCD is barely any use.
I really like it, though I have yet to game haha. The only reason I got it was that I could pick it up for 66 dollars Canadian shipped and everything.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

CyberPowerPC included one with the quad-core rig they sent for review. My time actually playing with the keyboard has been very limited, compared to the system as a whole. If they don't end up wanting the keyboard back, I'll write a formal review on it.

I don't really see the need for one of these. If you play first person shooters you are never going to look down at the LCD screen to check how much ammo you have. There's not a whole lot of official game support either, they left it up to the community to make their own. The macro keys have their uses if you like to play certain games like World of Warcraft or strategy games.

I think it's a bit of a waste of money and you would be better off saving your money and just getting a standard keyboard.

I have encountered several threads like this now all over the internet and pretty much every person who owns one of these loves it. However, in those same threads, those same people always say how disappointed they are by the lack of support for the LCD screen. That, along we me being poor, has stopped me from ever clicking the "Buy Now" button.
