Awesome Keyboard
I bought this to replace the keyboard that came bundled with my PC and to give me an edge when gaming.

This keyboard doesn't just look good, it feels solid and when playing certain games the LCD display is amazing. On Battlefield 2142 I can see my kills/deaths, my ratios, and my scores on the LCD panel. I have the macro keys set up with common functions I need in the game.

Outside of the game this keyboard performs well with media keys that work well with Vista and media player.

Works well with Age of Conan!
First of all this keyboard isn't huge, it's the much smaller version 2 of the G15 which is only slightly larger than a standard keyboard. Downside is you lose 12 of the programmable G keys and have a much smaller LCD screen and no volume wheel.

Now the reason I got it was for work to automate a lot of godawfully mundane file re-naming tasks but the first day I had it I took it home and used it with Age of Conan. AoC uses a combo based combat system and this keyboard lets you record these keystrokes so next time you want to pull off an attack you only have to hit a single key instead of a series of keys. Lazy, yes, but so far not considered cheating.

Thing is, I now use a version 1 G15, which I got from my nephew, at home and have this one at work, where it does do a really good job at what I originally intended. The trouble is, having used the version 1 keyboard, the version 2 seems lacklustre in comparison for games.

Unfortunately the version 1 is out of production so the version 2 is all you've got and if I'd never seen the original I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Be aware that use of macros is considered cheating in a lot of online games so check to see if you can use this keyboard with your game of choice before splashing out.

Also it's also fair to point out that the free software package called Autohotkey will let you do pretty much everything this keyboard can and a lot more besides but can be a lot harder to set-up.

Incredible..
Before this keyboard i owned a Saitek eclipse II, I was very happy with that keyboard and was reluctant to give it away. However when i was given this keyboard as a present, i will never look back as it is simply outstanding.
The LCD panel is incredibly useful and becomes difficult to live without.
The illuminated keys are very useful if in the dark and the keys alone are very comfortable to use.

In fact the only real criticism i can come up with is the caps lock key being too big, but thats just me being fussy.
