Posted July 9, 200718 yr Just out of curiosity, how many of you are using the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard? I know some have it and some don't but I need a new keyboard and am in between the Ideazon MERC Gaming Keyboard and the G15. Any suggestions or advice? Added poll.
July 9, 200718 yr I never use the stats programs for games, there are far more useful apps like ventrilo and other custon programs.
July 9, 200718 yr I have a G15 and so far its been great. I need to set up the extra keys but just being able to see who is talking on Vent through the LCD is cool.

If you download the bf2142 thing for the LCD it's so helpful. You can see your kills/deaths, your rank on your team and your rank in the entire server, etc. At the end of a round it shows your points per minute too. It also has a nifty little walker that does the walker walk! I don't use the macro keys at all though, but I imagine if you decided to be an rdx noob for a round they would come in handy
July 9, 200718 yr I have a G15 and so far its been great. I need to set up the extra keys but just being able to see who is talking on Vent through the LCD is cool. I have it as well, i am enjoying it very much with the keys that lit, and with the LCD as well. How can you see the ventrilo on the LCD by the way ?
July 9, 200718 yr I am using the g15 also. -yeah...if he would ever play... -On Topic: Most of the negative complaints about the G-15 are as follows...Poor customer support, lag from input to action, USB 1.0, and most prevalent...painted keys, the paint rubs off after extensive use (no more letters)...just some research I did, but for most people there is a lot of love despite these seemingly glaring flaws. G-15 owners do not flame me...this is all from review sites.

It's built in.
July 9, 200718 yr my firends got one but i like a simple regular keyboard been using it for about 6 years now and its still holds up to the abuse plus my desk is small so space is valuable
July 10, 200718 yr Author ok...so considering all the praise for the G15, I think I'm going to go ahead and get that one. Thanks for the input fellas! D
July 10, 200718 yr I own just a standard $10 keyboard, but I have thought about getting a gaming keyboard or pad. I think I'll probably go with a G15 since there has been a lot of positive input from most of you (Freefall lol j/k way to dig up facts).
July 10, 200718 yr -On Topic: Most of the negative complaints about the G-15 are as follows...Poor customer support, lag from input to action, USB 1.0, and most prevalent...painted keys, the paint rubs off after extensive use (no more letters)...just some research I did, but for most people there is a lot of love despite these seemingly glaring flaws. G-15 owners do not flame me...this is all from review sites. Not flaming, but I've had my G15 for over a year now and I haven't seen any input lag. Also the keys are not painted, the silver bezel is and the paint does wear off where you've been resting your hands. I also can't believe anything that has came out in the last 7 years is still using USB v1.0 (especially since USB v1.0 got replaced when Windows 98 came out), but I could be wrong. As for the customer support... don't know, haven't had to call them on a product that works perfectly.
July 10, 200718 yr -yeah...if he would ever play... :o -On Topic: Most of the negative complaints about the G-15 are as follows...Poor customer support, lag from input to action, USB 1.0, and most prevalent...painted keys, the paint rubs off after extensive use (no more letters)...just some research I did, but for most people there is a lot of love despite these seemingly glaring flaws. G-15 owners do not flame me...this is all from review sites. Never needed customer support for anything, works like a champ. Don't use the usb ports in back, but I guess 2.0 would be nice. But this keyboard is fairly old. I wouldn't call these glaring flairs, I eat over my keyboard, slam it(after playing 2142), among other things and the paint is fine Only complaint I have is not enough game developers are taking advantage of the lcd screen. We need to rely on the community to develop apps, which still need to support from the game developers.
July 10, 200718 yr I use the G-15 and love it, I have my dsp 500 headset plugged into the back of the keyboard and have no trouble at all.
July 10, 200718 yr I dont know if i should get the Zboard or the G15 g15 FTW! hahah but yes. the g15 rocks. I bought it when it first came out. Still going strong. even after a glass of milk was spilt on it haha. Also one thing to note. In the earlier g15's they used different paint or something for the keys. after 2 years of extensive use my E key is pretty much see through
July 10, 200718 yr I use it and i love it.Is not painted,LCD must be updated for better info in game(2142)and no need to use the USB at the back!How can you see the Vent on it dude???
