Best Keyboard Out There November 21, 2009 Robert Winters (Stow, Ohio) I bought this keyboard for my own use and love it. and at this new lower price I'm getting another as a gift. It's half of what I paid for it a year ago.
Buy it you won't be sorry
Pretty amazing keyboard November 18, 2009 earle117 (Clarklake, MI) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been wanting this keyboard for a while, and when my old one finally died, I saw it as an opportunity. I also liked the new G19, but it really wasn't worth the extra cash in my opinion (over twice as much as I paid for this one).
It looks nice, much nicer than the original version, but the orange lights are just plain fugly. It really should have either had changeable lights or at least been a more standard color like blue, green, or red...
The features are really nice, the GamePanel LCD, while not that big of a deal, is really cool. It's great for listening to music with a game full screen, as it shows all the song/artist info right on screen for all major media players, was helpful while using Vent as it showed who was talking, and also has a lot of user made apps that are really cool, too.
Also, the keyboard feels nice to type on, although not the best, the keys are a tad mushy.
As a last note, the G keys are really nice. In RPGs they make keybindings a lot easier, as no more need for Alt/Ctrl modifiers, and they also make using the desktop way faster as well.
All in all, great keyboard, fugly color.
Gives my new build a more "tech-savy" look November 5, 2009 Smokezilla (Kentucky) Put together a new PC for myself for the first time just a couple of months ago. I built this machine to be exactly what I wanted it to be and was really pleased with the outcome. The G-15 was the icing on the cake. The LED screen on the keyboard itself added just the right amount of bling to my system along with a 28-inch 1080p monitor to give my new build the look to match the performance of the machine itself. The backlit keys are great for late night gaming when everyone is in bed and the lights are turned down. My system has had no problems since installation as I downloaded the driver for the keyboard directly from Logitech instead of using the disk that came with the keyboard. I added a Logitech cordless optical Trackman instead of a traditional mouse and my system was ready for some GAMIN'! I had previously used only cheap keyboards and I'm glad I gave the G-15 a look.
Awesome keyboard, especially for the price. November 1, 2009 Curtis Springer (Cougar, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pro: I originally didn't buy this keyboard because I thought it was just a regular one with a few novelties. I was wrong. The 3 sets of 6 (very easily programmed) macro keys are extremely handy. I also thought the screen was just a toy. After downloading updated software it can do quite a bit. It has a countdown timer, stopwatch, rss feed for news etc., time and date, cpu and ram monitors among other things. I also like how my Xfire messages come up on it's screen. It's light but feels well built. Multi-media keys around the screen are nice. The windows key lockout is awesome. I have had the Merc and Merc Stealth keyboards and thought I wouldn't be able to go without the gamepad section but after using this I can't go back. It looks sweet to boot. I highly recommend this keyboard.
Con: The clip on wrist rest is kinda flimsy, but I don't think it needs one to begin with. If you aren't at a desk it won't stay on very well. I use my keyboard in my lap (monitor is hdtv) so I left it off. I personally liked the blue color of the older version better but they say that orange is easier on the eyes. Why not have a color change ability like my merc? This version's lcd is hard mounted and not adjustable like the old one.
Other: The older version has a larger lcd but the newer one is higher resolution so that is kind of a wash. Also the older version has double the macro keys but I don't really see this a con since I haven't used up my macro keys on any profiles and double would just be more things to remember. If you don't want to spend the money on the G-19 for the color lcd then this is the keyboard for you.
G15 Great keyboard October 27, 2009 D. Page The G15 is a great Logitech product. They fixed a lot of the problems with the first one such as the bulkiness. There is no more flip screen and they changed from a bright blue to a orange that is easier on the eyes. Only 6 G keys and 3 sets you can save it to so it should be called a G6 or G18 keyboard if you ask me. Types great. This is second one I bought old version and new and I wouldn't consider a different keyboard.
