 keyboard started glitching within 8 months April 30, 2008

My G15 keyboard started glitching within 8 months of purchase, my Enter, K, and I keys were the 1st to go, then keys started double typing and when I contacted Logitech's customer support they had me hook it up to a 2nd pc without there software. I hauled the keyboard
into work and hook it up (what a pain!)and yup the keyboard is junk.
Logitech's customer support had me fill out a bunch of info but I didn't have my receipt so I'm out my 180$, I went back to my old keyboard, its 10 years old and still works perfectly!
Logitech should be ashamed of them selves for selling substandard products at inflated prices! No matter how many bells and whistles a keyboard has it should last longer then 8 months!
I have an update- I worked with a very nice customer support person at Logitech and even without my receipt they worked with me to get a replacement keyboard! That's the good, the bad is that the new keyboard is the newer G15 and it seams to be a shadow of the original g15 that I had. I liked the flip up screen and disc volume control, the larger keys/keyboard. Everything about this new g15 is just less then the original G15 and I don't think they should be calling it a G15.
Too big, not nearly as good as the newer G15 April 29, 2008

I replaced this keyboard with the newer G15 (orange) and found it was much better all around. This G15 was so large that the mouse pad was scrunched in the corner, also had technical problems with it after some use- certain keys stopped working randomly. Not sure if it was a driver issue or something else (using Vista) but couldn't fix it. If looking for a great gaming keyboard, go with the newer G15 instead.
 Great Keyboard April 16, 2008

I have to say I was lucky with this one as I was one of the early adopters back when they started shipping. This keyboard is great for Gamers, that's I repeat for GAMERS. It will not do a good office keyboard substitute but it will sure be an awesome gaming accessory since you can program the LCD.
With this keyboard you will appreciate a lot the backlight and the macros buttons, even though there are more than you will ever use, even if you are an intensive gamer.
About the media keys, I'll be honest they are cool but I never Used them, same as the Windows button and the mute button.
Some Extra things before buying:
Its large in every way, make sure you have the room , not only to put it but also to let you see the LCD.
IT uses a lot of RAM specially if you have many applets on the LCD
Programming the LCD is not very simple, recommended for experienced users only.
Some keyboards have bad paint on the keys (mine got the most used keys erased) call Logitech they know this issue and will replace it for Free. I think this was only on the first units. I've been using mine for over a year now and it looks as good as new.
The USB ports on the back cannot be used with devices that require a lot of power (External Hard Drives, Webcams, etc)
In my opinion it was kind of epensive at first, buy I wouldn't change it for any other model still.

I am an Engineer by profession and do alot of drafting and design every day in my line of work. This keyboard is far and away, the best programmable keyboard I've ever used for the price. Don't let the gaming designation fool you into thinking it's just for gaming. On the contrary, it is highly versatile and can be programmed to work with just about any executable program. It's 3 banks of 6 G-keys easily shifted over 3 memory stations gives you an extra 54 programmable key functions in addition to the F-keys. Macro's are easily created with the enclosed software and the media keys are a very cool and convenient feature. This G-15 is actually, in my opinion, better than the newest Logitech G-15 keyboard because it gives the user more programmable functionality. The only negative that I have found so far is that the keys are a little noisy and springy sounding. Also, the included plastic palm-rest is cheezy and should be thrown away.
Great Keyboard for the MMO player April 10, 2008

Purchased this keyboard for use with the game "Final Fantasy XI" based on the recommendation of a friend. It works well, though the setup of some in-game macros can be a bit complicated, at first.
As a whole, the G15 does its job well. It's a great choice for the avid gamer.
