Okay, so i'm getting a new keyboard. I have looked around, and well the Logitech G15 seems to be one of the best.

But what i want to know, is that, is it that great for someone who doesn't do that much gaming? Can i use the 18 'G keys' for things other than just game shortcuts?

And any other suggestions?

EDIT: My budget is like £50 (GBP)

Thanks in advance.

What about the diNovo one we talked about last time? It looked cool.

Go to Logitech website and see the specs of the keyboard, it is mentioned even 4 times (or simply Google "Logitech G15").

Programmable G keys:
Use the 18 programmable 'G keys' to execute common keystrokes or complex macros.

The 18 programmable "G Keys" allow you to execute macros—like casting spells in World of Warcraft—with a single button press...

Create and save macros with a press of a button. 18 fully programmable “G Keys” have three shift states each, for 54 possible custom macros per game

so... yes




PS: You can display whatever you want on the LCD panel if you know how (eg: use the APIs for that keyboard driver or whatever). But out-of-the-box, the LCD panel is only supported by certain games. Though there is a SDK included in the box.

More info about the GamePanel of the keyboard can be found here:
