Wasn't a keyboard I would have considered. This review makes that even more so I suppose at the price it goes for it's not the worst keyboard, but the more expensive G11/G15/Saitek Eclipse etc are much better and worth the extra cost in my eyes.

It's cheap though. Looks okay, but as you said.. that '#' thing would do my head in.

Totally agree with you.. I really didnt like typing on it at all
I think the original Elixir was much better, and G15 is still the king in my eyes.

If you had to choose between the G15 and the Razer Tarantula, which would you choose and why?

I would go for the G15 because I have had a good experience with Logitech products in the past, although Logitech are doing a G19 fairly soon which looks just like a G11 with a huge screen on.

Haha, Good Man.
Anyways I am considering investing in a gaming keyboard and am torn between the two, so I was wondering of listening to some selling points on the g15 over the razer. I can be called a razer fanatic, considering all the razer swag I own, but i'm a very practical man
Mind selling some points on your keyboard?

from the reviews i saw in other sites (and theres alot you should google them
)razer tarantula
pros - fully programable (all keys); great antighosting; the keys feels good; you can save up to 5 profiles of key configurations;
cons - no lights; programming keys costs time and isnt a "welcoming" program
logitech G15 - revised version
pros - great antighosting; has lights (and they are easy to see at night); Stationary LCD Monitor (its not that mobile thing that sucked); its smaller than its older version; has 6 macros keys (that's could be con aswell since the old had 18, but its up to you)
cons - Stationary LCD Monitor (like the macro keys thing this could be a con depending of the person); only 6 macros (like i said)
also i never touched a tarantula mate, but i played like crazy on logitechs and all i can say is that i hate my microsoft keyb and i would trade it for a g15 anytime.

1) The tarantula has lights, or at least backlights. Additionally, you may purchase the battle light add-on.
2) LCD Monitor, Honestly, how do you find this useful? Whilst fragging, I doubt I'll have time to look at the LCD screen. However if it can be programmed to show CPU/GPU Temp whilst gaming that would be a welcome addition.
As for online reviews, they give both these keyboards awesome points, and that's where the problem lies, you're gonna need opinion from the average user. Something reviews can't offer.
Maybe if there was a Tarantula vs G15 article somewhere :>

Sorry I am mistaken, the black light is not present on Tarantula, but are on the Lycosa!
and it dont have a advanced antighosting (hard to explain in a better way) thats the only keyboard with laptop keys that i liked in my life hehepremiumgfx
New member
I like they Lycosa too, but it costs alot. 
I think the original Elixir is better than the Elixir II. Anyone seen the normal Elixir?
