I'm sure it may be awesome internally, but fair play - it looks pants! and for that money I could get a G510 or similar... with Logitech's build quality and unbeatable customer service, I know what I'd pick

Sorry guys, I'm out ;)
 
Filco > This

Yes, ... because?

And looks cheap as the ones that cost a fiver :/ I'll stick to my Saitek 2 for just a little longer

I like the minimalist approach, and the alleged ruggedness. Not a macro guy, although I suppose it has its uses. What's the warranty on those?

How would it compare to the Razer BlackWidow...

As for the price, seeing how things are going, this will be the price of a tank of fuel... :D

Am I the only one that never has a problem with the Windows key in-game? :(

Have a G15 and never used the pc/game toggle switch to disable it..
 
Gotta be hard typing on them without backlit keys.

Who uses lightbulbs anymore when you can have backlit keys and cathode tubes in your PC :p
 
I used to prefer mechanical keyboards, and yes, they don't tend to go wrong often. But I love my soft touch short travel keys anyday, makes for faster response imho. I know some gamers whose fingers would snap trying to use a mechanical keyboard!!
 
50 million key presses, Talk about creating a selling point. I bin my keyboards when the letters rub off the keys. My currant DELL keyboard is about 18months old and is getting ready for the bin. No W, S, A, D, left shift, left control and a hole in the space bar. Every one love to hop. I play a lot of games help run one of the most popular BF2:PR servers in Europe. Give me a keyboard thats backlit and the keys dont rub off. Do like the G serise stuff though.
You can press 6 keys at once. Well Mr Markerting man I hold the mouse with my right hand and keys with my left. I only have 5 digits on my left hand Do other "Gamers" have 6 fingers no wonder some people need hacks. You`ll never win agains players that can press walk forward, backwards, left, right, jump, and crouch all at the same time but then again why would you need to press them all at the same time.

As for no windows key on the left side of the keyboard so windows dosnt pop up mid game when you press it by mistake. This has been disabled in the OS when games are played along time ago.

Steel serise bullet proof standard keyboard called "Gaming" just to sell a bland keyboard. Nuff Said.

I'm sure it's probably pretty nice to use, but how is the mechanical board a gaming keyboard? No macro keys in sight, no backlight, no dedicated media controls, no USB hub, no audio-pass through and so on. Even one of those things I mentioned would better qualify it, but it has none. The only thing would perhaps be the omission of a windows key.
 
7G looks nice enough.

6G is terrible whats with the way they cut out half the keyboard to just have a set of keys effectivley... I saw a dell keyboard like this and it was disgusting to use and look at.

Deffo pay the extra for a 7G or a Logitech
