Best Buy has the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard on sale for $59.99. Take one of their flyers, bring it in to Circuit City and they'll match Best Buy's price AND take and extra 10% of the price difference off.

Thanks, just did this.

how good is this keyboard?

 

[Synomenon]

It's ok so far. I've been using it now for around 4 hours. The blue lighting coming through each letter on each key is nice. Their not too bright and not too dim (at max brightness). The rubbery feeling paint that goes all around the keyboard is nice. The macro keys are useful as long as you remember what you bind to which key. The little screen is nice. There are lots of different "applets" you can download and use with the screen. Some of the ones I have:

Clock
Pop3 email checker
CPU activity meter
WinAmp Plugin
iTunes Plugin
WMP Plugin
Trillian Plugin (nice cause you can use the screen to type and chat on)

There are many more.

What are you talking about? The G15 is a wired keyboard.

 

[imported_sushicide]

keep in mind it's big because of the extra G keys...I had to return mine because it wouldn't fit into my stupid kb drawer

 

[Synomenon]

Hehe, I was worried that it wouldn't fit in my keyboard drawer either.

Love this kb. I didn't get it at this price, but it was worth every penny. I keep itunes minimized while playing video games and just use the LCD display to cycle through songs etc. The 18G keys comes with 3 pages so you have 3x18 programmable keys that are easy to use and set up.

You can set up the recording so that it does a lot of combinations and theres an option to even record the timing delay so if you hit Macro Record and then /cast spell 1, /cast spell 2, /doability 3 etc it will record everything and bind it to the key WITH the timings which comes in handy a lot for me.

Plus anyone can write plugins for the LCD so a lot of games that dont support the LCD display by default you can usually do a google search to just download a plugin.

And as mentioned before the backlit keys are beautiful. Well lit but not overpowering.

i might just buy this at Best buy instead. if i buy the G15 for 59.99 i can get 25% off of a logitech product and get the G5 mouse for 37$.

 

[niji1875]

is is a damn good deal.

 

[TheDrake]

Its strange cause I got this 3-4 months ago for $44.99 at Circuit City... I actually was going to do the price match on it from BB for like $69.99 but it rang up at $45 at the register, lol. So I dont know if that was a price mistake or what.

I picked up my 2nd G15 Thursday for $34.50.

Logiitech has a Buy @ Logitech Products get the 2nd lower priced item for 50% off. I grabbed the Revolution MX on sale and rebate at Tiger Direct for $49.99 AR and then the G15 for another $34.50 AR. I love the screen and they have alot of applets you can use, or just create your own.

I downloaded one that displays hard drive copacity, Proc Speed and usage Memory amount used and Usage bar plus will pull Fan speeds, temps, and voltages from Speed fan.

This keyboard is sweet!!!

This is deffinitly a great keyboard if you want to track system usage , temps and anything else while gaming. It even displays your XFire chats on the screen.

This second one was for my wife and it barely fit on the keyboard tray.

This Keyboard is about 6" wider then a regular keyboard!

Any other question you can look them up on the g15 forums.

I'd be interested in the Trillian Plugin....where can I get that?

I had a coupon for 12% off until the end of March at Best Buy. It's not supposed to apply to sale merchandise, but you know how dopey the cashiers are.... I gave it to the cashier and she tried to ring it up. Of course it didn't work, so she started reading it and didn't' see the fine print about only being for regular prices, so she manually took 12% off the sale price.... SWEET!!!!

Anybody know how well this works on Vista?

I'd like to do this also, where is the 25% off deal? I have already tried searching. I know there was a 50% off when you buy 2 logitech products too, so that would be even better, right?

Links to either of these deals would cause me to leave work early to go get some new toys.

[swatX]

just got it

thanks of the heads up !

 

[Showtime]

picked 1 up and it's pretty nice.

 

[Snowice]

still too much and has a wire

 

[gpimlott]

I have had one of these for almost a year.. I am very happy with it.
The multimedia keys work well and the macro keys are so easy to set on the fly!

There are a lots of mods available that are very useful.
here is a link
http://www.g15mods.com/http://www.g15mods.com/

I use the teamspeak one (it shows the name of the person speaking)
I also use SirReals panel which gives alot of system info.
I also have the BF2142 mod installed as well as Vanguard.

These all scroll after a set amount of time or you can pick one to keep on continuously.

I would give it a 9 out of 10.. cons: large footprint. i have used better "feeling" keyboards, lights could be more visible through the keys lettering.
all these are minor for me though.
