4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gamer Keyboard, Slighty less Handy for day to day, November 22, 2007

There seems to be some reviews by users who do not actually own the G15.

I do.

As a gamer, I only need about 6 macro buttons, and they work just fine for that. The orange glow may not be quite as bright as I would like, but looks nice and does help gaming in the dark when you get the fingers on the wrong keys. The LCD is handy just in telling me the time if I'm playing some game that doesn't support the G15 (no more playing till 1AM accidentally) and in the games it does support, it's actually very handy - especially so in Lord Of The Rings Online or WoW, laying out stats in an easy to see way.

The downside to this kind of keyboard is you do miss some things. No volume knob, though you do get buttons. Been using a knob/wheel for years, so I'm really missing it. No calculator button, though I suppose I could make a macro for it. None of your usual Home or Web or buttons of that nature, though you do have a nice big satisfying mute button, and... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware, February 21, 2008

I am disappointed in Logitech after using this keyboard. I have the older G15. While the keyboard itself has great functionality (if a little overkill for most gamers), beware - while Logitech offers a 3-5 year warranty on ALL of its other keyboards, it only gives a one-year warranty to its two most expensive offerings, the G11 and G15. I found this out the hard way after my keys started acting funny. Out of the blue one day a couple of keys started randomly typing out incorrect or extra characters (for instance, when I hit the X key I get X: on my screen, I have to delete the colon), and my left shift key somehow got mapped to F9 so that any time I would try to run in a FPS it would reload a savegame. This is pretty much a deal-breaker for any gamer.

I take very good care of my hardware so I was quite surprised, tried the keyboard on another computer without any Logitech software installed and it did the same thing, indicating a hardware problem with the board. A... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars In defense of this massively underrated work of art, November 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (Black) (Personal Computers)
The title pretty much sums up my opinion of this keyboard and the general opinion of a few of the users who have reviewed it so far. Now, I normally try to present my opinions without mention of those of other peoples', but in this case, after reading some of the other reviews of this item I really feel I must make an exception.

First of all, I'd like to point out that just because an older version of this board had a few features that were cut doesn't automatically make this one suck. Secondly, I'd like to point out that this board technically has 18 macro keys if you take into consideration that it has three different modes, and on top of that an unlimited number of profiles you can switch between with the software. Third of all, I'd like to remind everyone that a company's policies and its products are not the same thing, and should not be treated as such.

Anyway, I sincerely don't mean for this review simply to be about bashing other peoples' opinions, so... Read more
