G15 was a great keyboard, and I miss the little display was great for TeamSpeak.. there are a few on offer at the moment, the xtrfy is over budget but has a free mouse. and the steelseries have a large discount. I have the apex m800 and its a great keyboard. it takes a bit of getting used to the from an old soft membrane keyboard. if you prefer membrane then look a the at the apex 300

I'd give the Cougar Vantar a shot, personally. But to be more sure, maybe a decent mechanical, backlit keyboard, with MX brown keys. Usually can't go wrong with those. I like my Coolermaster, it's a TKL though. Now it's called MasterKey Pro M.
Note that mechanical keyboards will be pretty loud, if that's a problem. MX blue, especially.

At this stage, take a pick of a bunch of keyboards you like, and we should be able to narrow it down

Velocifire VM90. Built as well as any keyboard ive used, Kailh blacks which are like Cherry reds but firmer, RGB backlighting for £51 or £60-something if you want clicky KailH blues. I can't find a better mech for the money.
I use the following as a replacement for the G15 screen.

Just use your mobile phone or tablet with android or IOS with Logitech Arx software its the same thing as the G15 screen!

Agreed, the Arx software on a phone etc is a great replacement for the G15 screen but it is limited in the amount of information it can show.
The product I linked is a great alternative if you're looking for something that displays a lot more information at once and something I don't think many people know is available hence why I mentioned it.

I just replaced a G15 with the Strafe RGB Blue that OCUK have on offer at the moment for £90 and absolutely love it.
Even without the CUE software which isn't working properly for me, I'd still recommend it.
