just been looking at the g15 keyboard and it looks fab, anyone own one of these bad boys? Just curious to know what the G keys are all about tho?

100% worth it, i had the razor's and g11 before the g15 is very well made and worth the £40 odd

.

Think im gonna get myself one of these, just curious to know how the G keys work though?

They're basically programmable macros, you can use em for whatever you want

I love this keyboard. It's amazing, the backlit keys look awesome. The keys have the right 'feel' for a gaming keyboard, and the screen is awesome! Now I can have fraps and/or temps during gaming. It is a 100% WIN keyboard.

o right so you can actually have it monitor your system temps on the little screen?

You can indeed, it is very cool keyboard. My old V1 (blue lights) is dying I think, though it has served me well. Thinking of replacing it with a new G15 but they are still near £60, was hoping for less.

They are too big imo, great in theory but i found the g11 just took over my desk and my desk is a reasonable size, bit gimmicky unless you use macros.

The G15 V2 is a bit smaller.

It's definitely worth the price! I don't think I can go back to a normal keyboard now. My brother had a Razer keyboard and it wasn't as good as the G15.

I have no experience of the G15, but I own the G11 and I rate it highly. I do use the macro keys a lot as well. The backlit keys are very good for when you want to turn the lights off as well. I half wish I went for a G15 due to the screen, but how much I would actually use that screen I dont know.
