I've got one on my new rig and it's the cats meow. I don't miss all of the extra stuff that my G15 did a single bit! The ability to change the LED color on the fly is sweetness to say the least, and the key response is perfect. Love this board.

Great review kemp, I expect nothing but the best from you as usual

it's Ayd @ Specialtech using the bosses log in

as usual another great review guys...keep it up

 

[FragTek]

That's a shame mate May I ask why you don't care for the board? Did something happen after some long-term use or something else?

Nice review Kemp.

I am looking for a new keyboard aswell and was G15 all the way but this has changed my mind

Take a look at the extra bits that the G15 has. If you don't think you would use them/they're not worth the extra £17...then get this - great keyboard

nice review Kempez...

you make me wish my old keyboard had lasted a little while longer and broken this week instead of last now

that keyboard looks sweet

do you have the dimensions of it please?

is there any difference in size to the older eclipse ?

i'd like to buy one, but not sure if it would fit on the sliding tray for my keyboard and mouse.

I use the G15's LCD all the time, but the chipping keys are really ugly to look at!

So if you're looking for a good-looking keyboard, the G15 might not be the right thing...

There's a thread on here somewhere mate about getting ur G15 replaced free if you have paint chipping off your keys. I would link ya, but i'm just off home

Yeah, I've been on Logitech's "How to get a RMA" page for a week, I've jsut been too lazy/busy to call.

They are getting pretty bad - the bottom row spells "z-x-blob-v-b-blotch-spot-,-.-é".

I just haven't paid too much attention because I know the keys by heart, since they don't have the accents printed on them.

For me the G15 isn`t just the lcd, it`s the G-keys. Guess it depends what sort of games u play.

I`m finding my fingers in my left hand going lifeless tho >.<

 

[glocktodahead]

Ye I posted on this forum that you should get in touch with logitech, PV did it and got a new one

 

[Enigmachine]

I'm getting VOIP so probably next week I will call them and won't be put on hold using my cell phone... That's a real PITA.

I really hate phones. What a primitive communication system!

Anyway, back on topic, I'd love to have a Saitek to compare with my G15!

So far I haven't played any games that really needed the G keys, but I'm betting my coming 3-month binge of WoW will change that.

 

[glocktodahead]

WoW + G15 = awesome. I also d/l a css program that shows all ur stats so its pretty sweet

I would have bought the saitek eclipse II if I didn't scoop up my G15 for such a good price. Very nice review, keep up the good work
