Some input about the Logitech G15 please?

Well, I'm looking for a new keyboard to complete my new computer set-up. I have been reading on a few reports that the G15 starts having key problems after about a year. The warranty only lasts 1 year so I don't want to be stuck with a 65USD keyboard that doesn't work. Since Amazon is offering it for 65USD I'm debating whether I should purchase it or not. Can anyone with the Logitech G15 v2 chime in about how it's holding up? Actually, any information would be much appreciated.

had mine for about 2 months now.

Best keyboard I owned, and I aint no noob either - I've had good keyboards before but this beast just rules.

The macro keys are a great addition, it has good tactile response and the LCD is full of WIN.

I love how there is a community devoted to the logitech G15 range - for example I recently downloade the spotify plugin which displays all song data on the LCD.

All in all it really is a great keyboard - I've owned many logitech products and never had a problem. As a extra plus their customer service is great, I once broke my Logitech wireless mouse dongle, I contact support about paying for a replacement - they sent it to me free in 3 days... so if something did go wrong with the keyboard I am pretty sure logitech would help out.

PS. you gotta be careful where you read these reviews, one site called the 'GAME' slider button on the keyboard lame - this button once activated will block the WINDOWS key, which means no more accidently minimizing the game to the task bar, a great addition - now tell me, HOW the hell is that lame!

I now have the G15 keyboard for 1 year, and i wouldn't say it's the best keyboard ever, but it sure have some of the collest thing ever!

So here is my opinion

The Bad:

You never really use the LCD screen

Not that many G keys

The Macro button is the coolest thing EVER! But i will warn you use it carefully since you can get banned using it in online MMO since it can play for you.

My H key is the worst ever! But i just think it's my keyboard cause it doesn't always respond when i press on it, i always have to press hard down on it.

The good

G keys are good to have

The Macro key is the most awesome ever!

The LCD screen can be usefull sometimes

If i needed a new keyboard i would more go for the G19 keyboard since it have some new cool features.

It is far from being the best keyboard. There are much better options out there.millerlight89

Well I use this one now. I like it quite a bit more. Though it really is not necsarry to spend that much on a keyboard.

I think Razer stuff is better for the mice and Logitech better for Keyboards.

i use the lcd on the g15 all the time. its amazing to check ur temperatures in game while ur playing for both cpu and gpu.

The original g15 was the most awesome thing ever in design with loaded G keys. Orange revision loooks like a cheap downgrade, but still good I suppose. Saitek feels very bad in quality like in an american car, so I dont recommend them.

Actually i love this keyboard. it feels very nice and ive had it since september 2009. Colors are nice, you can change individual areas of the keyboard colors. theres a touch panel for volume, LED's, music and cyborg mode which locks the windows key so you dont hit it ingame. the only problem is that i have a few faulty LED's in the corner of my numpad for about a month now
