The Logitech G15 is marketed as a Gamers keyboard when in fact, I think it would be more accurately described as a multipurpose keyboard. I don't really call myself a huge gamer - probably only clocking about 5 hours a week - however I bought this keyboard anyway, with the impression that it would help improve my general computer experience. This keyboard has perhaps been my most useful purchase to date.

The thing that Logitech seemed to miss from their design was rubber feet as although the keyboard has 2 small ones at the back, they are missing from the raising stands and it can make the keyboard slip around quite a bit, especially on smooth shiny surfaces. The wrist-rest has sufficient ones on, which adequately keeps the keyboard stable, but don't be surprised if you end up using blu-tac to keep the keyboard in place!

Advantages: Looks stylish til worn in, good for music control and email checking Disadvantages: usb hubs are nearly useless, hardly ANY support, under utilised.
My logitech G15. This is a subject of mixed feelings for me for a variety of reasons.
I brought this when my old generic keyboard had an unfortunate experience and a new one was needed.
There were many alternatives that I could have chosen but I went with this one on a whim.
Initially I was very impressed with the construction and style, though this has worn off slightly as time as gone on.
Ill start with the positive things about the keyboard.

Logitech have recently made a name for themselves in manufacturing quality peripheral devices such as speakers, cameras, laser mice and keyboards. Recent rends seem to indicate that they have been largely successful in cracking the 'gaming market', that is providing high tech and quality products e.g. 1500+ dpi mice. The keyboard has the following features that make it different from a standard ... ...to support use in-game. However Logitech does not provide any mods or support for this. Neither have any game producers programmed support for it into a game, but will undoubtedly do so in the future. There are a large number of community made mods that work on a variety of games, and also for other applications. I even saw a few which put a 'tamagochi' style pet on screen that you have to care for usiung the buttons!
There is also a switch which ...

Advantages: durable, backlit keys, large LCD display, windows key disable switch Disadvantages: larger than normal keyboards
Most important fact not discussed in the owner's manual: it can handle 6 keys pressed simultaneously. You BTC-5339 owners, this is the keyboard to go.
I own this keyboard for more than a year. Spilled soda pop on it, dropped heavy object on it, and it still works all right.
It is somewhat larger than normal keyboards, because it accomodates loads of extra macro/multimedia keys, LCD display, USB hub. Ships with detachable wrist support, very comfortable.

Linux Support: There is a module that provides basic scripting interface, you can have your own scripts displaying whatever you want.
Embedded USB hub: be sure to plug the keyboard into USB2.0, otherwise it will not be able to power even an usb flash drive.
Backlit keys: you can have it off/dim/bright. There is little difference between dim ...

Advantages: Simple, multi-functional, elegant and hard wearing Disadvantages: Not many that i can see
The G15 keyboard is yet another tool a gamer can add to their arsenal to give them the edge over their friends, enemies or just computer generated adversaries. Like others on the market, it is packed with features, but unlike the others it has that little bit extra. It is well designed and a quality piece of kit. With a comfortable wrist rest, illuminated keys for those dark nights of gaming and even a little LCD panel, its fun to look at and easy ... ...worth mentioning. Unusual and unique, its a handy little thing for gamers to use. Programmable in different ways it can be used to show your score on the scoreboard or hold conversations from x fire or even used to show who is talking to you on Ventrilo or teamspeak. This allows you to keep your eyes on the game without too many distractions. A simple, yet handy feature. Programmable G keys means all kinds of macros that you can assign yourself. ...

Advantages: Quality build, nifty features, comfort. Disadvantages: USB 1.1 ports.
Logitech have always been at the forefront of user interface peripherals. Microsoft has come close and even toppled Logitech in a number of categories but Logitech always seems to strive ahead that bit more and the losing soon becomes winning.
The Logitech G15 gaming keyboard is another great keyboard by Logitech and even though I’m not a huge gamer I utterly love this board for its quality, looks and features.
The most obvious feature you’ll notice ... ...switch on and off the annoying little button so it never interrupts your gameplay ever again.

Thoroughly recommended. ...

After recently purchasing a new PC setup, I decided it was about time to splash out on some serious gaming peripherals for my desktop. I searched around and decided to make my investment in Logitech's formidable G15 Gaming Keyboard. After roughly 4 months of use, I can confidently say, I am impressed!

Not only this, but there is a total of three different setups that can be applied to the 18 macro keys, doubling it's versatiliy. I have found however, ...

This has to be one of the best keyboards I have ever purchased. The LED lights on every key makes it very easy to use during the dark hours of the night. The LCD display is very useful to quickly see the time, stats in-game and a whole range of other downloadable plug-ins. The media keys surronding the LCD display mean you can easily play your music while in a full screen application such as World of Warcraft.
