So it's christmas time in not too long and i'm thinking it's about time I replaced my basic logitech keyboard for something a bit better.

Looking at the G11, but not sure whether to bite the bullet or not. Firstly, I wan't something thats good for gaming and has plenty of function keys that I can assign to progs macros etc. I also wanted something that has a built in USB hub, since i'm running out of ports, which the G11 seems to. However, can anyone confirm that these ports are USB2 or not? OCUK seems to suggest that they are 'full speed' but I can only see on the net that they are 1.1. A new revision? Enough power for my flash drive also?

Can anyone recommend a better keyboard (about the same amount of notes plz!) that might be better suited. I certainly think the G11 looks good. Oh, and deskspace is no problem whatsoever!

Thanks
 
I have a huge desk, so space isn't an issue. The bigger and sturdier the better really imo. Can I ask why you had to RMA them? Also why is the G15 v2 better?
 
keys became unbinded for no reason eg m =>:O p = l2 etc

one after about 3 months
second one after about 2 months

So there far from sturdy & the logetech support forums is littered with problems especilly slipping membranes.
 
That's a shame, I hope you were just unlucky, seems like a good board otherwise. After a quick look on the logitech forums I can see what you mean, but it seems like only a small percentage of people with these have problems.

Problem is, I can't justify another £20 for the G15 with a screen i'd never use, i'm sure i'm not the only one. Plus, i'd prefer blue as opposed to orange, silly reason though.

Any other suggestions? What are you all using?
 
Ive never had any problems with my G11, its great for MMO's. the g15 rev.2 doesn't have as many macro keys so a rev1 G15 or a G11 would be perfect for any MMO player.
