Had a Logitech 3100 I believe, which has been great for me for the past year or so until the now when the keyboard has been acting up. Seems like alot of people have had this same problem.
Was thinking about getting:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823126179

This is only for my gaming rig, need something fast. I play a mixure of FPS and RPG's, alot of which I could use the programable buttons.
Was thinking about that + maybe a razor mouse of some kind, anyone have any input on these as well?

I love the grip and molding of the mouse that came with the 3100 (Mx1000?)...Would hate to go back to the old style.
If anyone else has some suggestions, would be great.
 
The G15, Logitech Elite, Microsoft Digital Media and Logitech UltraX are great keyboards.
 
G15 looks like overkill to me, Not to mention it's logitech so it will have massively buggy and bloated drivers (typing this on a logitech as we speak) the Microsoft looks meh... I was looking at some of the "Zippy" aluminium keyboards like so http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823128030 yet I haven't found anything that really grabs me. The Saitek Keyboards seems really cheap as well when I have tried them out. It has really thin plastic, looks like it cost $2 to manufacture. IIMO avoid anything with "gaming" slapped on top. I'm actually looking for a more streamlined compact version (without the horrible F-lock key) of this logitech keyboard. It seems like no company really makes a sleek minimilistic style keyboard that doesn't reek of cheapness.
 
You are right!

Why is it that there are two popular kind of keyboards?
The gaming keyboard that is wider than your monitor and the standard keyboard that looks like a 2 dollar keyboard from taiwan.
 
i HIGHLY recommend this keyboard. especially for FPS/RPG games.
and it cost a hell of a lot less than a dang g15. ive been using one for about 2 months now and have no complaints at all.

I actually love my G15. Works wonders in photoshop because now I can program those buttons to actually do things. Infact thanks to this keyboard, I think I have gotten lazier. I now have Cut, Paste, Copy, Save, etc programmed to individual buttons. So instead of pressing Ctrl+C to copy, I now push 1 key to copy. And I also have some buttons going to websites that I visit the most. Like [H] is M2 key 1. So my surfing has gotten easier also...

Never actually had any kind of Zippy or used anything other then Logitech...My Mx3000 set worked great but I guess they had alot of problems with them dieing slowly, which mine is doing. That and it's eating my double A batterys.

I was also maybe looking at the Claw II or one of those many massive programable keyboard's that have been comming out recently.
Not sure though, they look for flimsy...

Any chance you can give me some sort of measurements on the height and legnth on this thing?
Heard alot of people saying it's really big...and I have a metal/glass desk so modding isnt much of a option.
