Ive owned two Logitec G15's and they are insanely over priced, a G10 is the same price as this and doesn't have the functionality or style as this one does. A little harder to find but definitely worth it.
Best keyboard I've owned!

This is by far the best gaming keyboard I have ever had, and personally it blows the Logitech I used to have away! Great response times from solid keys and enough features to keep things interesting make this a great keyboard at a good price!
Most Responsive Keyboard I have owned

I use an older G15 at work, and I like the feel on this one even better. I also never use a numeric keypad so i'm glad that this one is removeable. I like the glowing red backlit keys too. Very satisfied.
Would have given it better ratings if they took out the keypad and cut $10 off the price.
All I've got to say about this keyboard is it's sweet and I can use it in the dark with very little and the volume buttons help out alot!!!!!!! I love this keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Keyboard

I can't comment on how this functions as a ''gaming'' keyboard. I got this as a general purpose multi-media keyboard. For that it's great. The reasons I chose this keyboard were the detachable number pad ( I don't use it anyway ) and the lit keys. The key spacing seemed a bit ''off'' at first, but it didn't take much time to get used to it. The ''escape'' key is in the ''wrong'' place - maybe I'll get used to that. All in all, a great little keyboard ( it is ''little'' when you don't use the number pad ).
