Anyone have a Logitech G-15 Gaming Keyboard ?

I'm looking at it for the backlit keys. I work in a cave (I HATE overhead lights). It looks like they did this one right by actually lighting up the letters, and not just the gap around the keys. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2166,CONTENTID=10717 How do you like it? How is the key comfort? I type some 80wpm and I don't want to give up comfort/accuracy just for the lights. I don't care for the Saitek. Any other recommendations for lighted keyboards? -Larry

I got one and I'm quite happy with the lighting of the key. I'm using it in a dark room and it's great. It seems a lot of users have problems with paint going off the key. (They are transparant and black paint makes up the key mask) I personally don't have this problem but maybe it's getting worse at 80wpm. As for the confort, please try to find one to test feel! For me it's great. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:oRNEf.155141$oG.41734@dukeread02... > I'm looking at it for the backlit keys. I work in a cave (I HATE overhead > lights).

I picked one up. I love it. I'm looking for a temp display for the LCD :) I hope the paint thing doesn't become an issue. That would really suck. -Larry "Claude Leclerc" <benquinAThotmail.com> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I had a Saitek but the early model I purchased only lit around the keys, not the letters themselves. I think the new version lights up the keys too. > >http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2166,CONTENTID=10717 > >How do you like it? How is the key comfort? Very nice. It's softer than the Saitek. One thing I had to adjust to is that with the extra programmable keys on the left I had to adjust where it is on my desk. It is kind of a big footprint but no bigger than any MS one. > >I type some 80wpm and I don't want to give up comfort/accuracy just for the >lights. So do I. I like it. I have not tried to progam any of the macro keys though.

By the way - forget about using the LCD display for displaying game info, etc....... At last check, there are only two games listed at Logitech's website that support the keyboard. But it is nice having the LCD display the clock while I am playing a game so I know how late I am pushing the envelope as far as the wifer is concerned :-) -pw use paul at williamsonenterprises dot com for e-mail

I bought the original Saitek as well. Took it back the same night when I found out it was only surround-lighting, not true key lighting. -Larry "pw" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Nice for a quick processor check too. I've found that NR2003 never tops 50% CPU usage :) -Larry "pw" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
