Re: Keyboards
I have the G15 you've got pictured. It's the second model of the keyboard, the first had blue lights.
I really like the orange and it's great for night time use or in low light. Also the screen is pretty handy, you can use it for pretty much anything, games, music, performance etc etc, and can download any custom programs for it. Some games come with custom programs already, such as Dragon Age which comes up automatically when you run the game.
It also has heaps of keys to bind to whatever you want, start button lock, media controls etc
The G19 is basically the new G15, only twice as expensive.....
Pretty much the only differences are a bit to the button layout, a different colour lighting scheme (I think you might be able to cycle through 3 colours on this, but I'm not sure), and the screen you can rotate, adjust, and flip down. Also it's a proper min LCD screen this time around.

Re: Keyboards

Re: Keyboards
No worries! Yeah mine has been great so far. I haven't used any of the others though so I can't give any more advice for them...
Just check out as many reviews as possible online (from users as well as tech sites etc), and even check out the local PC shop they might have something setup.
