I recently purchased Logitech's new MX3200 keyboard and am having a few issues with it. First of all the letters on they keys are too small (I am not a touch typist). Also when you try and shine a light on they keys (at night) they shine. This makes it even harder too read the keys.

So, as a solution I am considering Logitech's G15 keyboard. It is backlit and the keys are large enough to read at night (when I use my computer the most). Although I wont be using the G keys as much, maybe I can program them for photoshop or something. :)

I have two simple questions regarding this keyboard that I cannot find anywhere else. First is how long is the USB cable coming off of they keyboard? My tower is not next to my desk and need to know if I am going to need an extension or not. The second question is the height of the keyboard? Would someone be so kind as to measure their G15 with the flip display open and the little height feet on the bottom of they keyboard open. I just want to know if this keyboard will fit on my keyboard tray. Up until now I really wouldn't mind (I have been using a wireless keyboard all this time), but now I need the backlight and will go wired again.

Thanks. I appreciate it if anyone can answer any of those two questions for me.

Height is 3 3/8'' or 8 cm. Cord is about 6' long.

That said, I have to use a usb extension cable and there is no way it fits on my keyboard tray. Its about as big as a skateboard. I abslutely love it.
 
Thanks a lot Lake. Thats exactly what I need to know.

As for my keyboard tray, it ia roughly 3.5' long (the length of my desk).There will be no problems with it fitting on there.
 
I don't get why people say the G15 is so large. Sure, it's on the big side compared to what ships with Dell or whatever as default, but compared to any decent keyboard it's about the same size. :)
 
Well I decided to exchange my MX3200 for a G15 today. Brought it home thinking that the cord was not long enough, but I was wrong. I have a good foot extra of cable. Too bad my keyboard tray does not come out further, as the edge of my desk covers the screen up... desk modding time!

Otherwise, this keyboard is excellent. Sure it has a cord (I was a wireless user for years), but I have no need for cordless freedom. The keys aren't too "clicky" and that backlighting is most excellent! No problems typing in the dark now! I also was playing around with that programmable display and found Ray's Mod for the LCD screen and Winamp. Also was playing around the the G keys and made some copy and paste shortcuts from explorer. I am pretty impressed how you can basically customize anything on they keyboard. I am not too sure how many other keyboards out there can do what this one can.

Overall this is another quality Logitech product in my book. It offers excellent flexibility and has all those other things that make good keyboards unique. :)

Thanks to the contributors of this thread!


EDIT: And I agree that this keyboard is not that large. I guess some are used to using notebook keyboards or something to that matter! :p
