Anyone notice that the space bar is a bit wobbly? I thought maybe it was just mine, but I checked a demo at BB and it was also wobbly. Not a huge deal, but I guess I'm just use to the thing not moving a whole lot since my Dell kb has a non-wobbly space bar.

Logitech g15 space bar

Funny thing about that...
I was literally just coming in here to write a quick review of my new G15 Keyboard, and what's the first post I see...this one!! LOL.
Yup, now that you mention it, the space bar is a bit on the wobbly side. HOWEVER...
I'm VERY impressed with this unit. I've used alot of keyboards in my day, and this one takes the cake. It's absolutely perfect. The key feel is incredible, the backlights are a "gaming in the dark" delight, the LCD display is all that and a bag of chips, and the assignable keys with macros is another gaming must-have. This piece is to keyboards as the G-7 mouse is to mice. It looks like a million bucks the the silver bezel, and the blue backlighting of the keys really makes it stand out from all (most) other keyboards.
I can now remove the digital clock that's on top of my computer monitor (losing track of time when you're gaming can really get you in trouble with work). The clock display on the LCD is a wonder. So simple, yet soooo useful. It even shows the date, no more floating the mouse above the time to see the date, and it means I can remove the Konfabulator desktop calendar I've been using. Also, the LCD displays a mail icon and how much new mail you've got...SWEET!! The LCD also show CPU and RAM loads. Right now I'm at 1%CPU and 18% RAM.
Which brings me to the only negative I can see with this keyboard. I uses about 34mb of RAM to do these functions. I have 2GB, so it's not really a big deal, but if you've got 512mb of RAM and want to play BF2 with Teamspeak and whatever else you've got running in the background, that extra RAM usage might be crippling. That being said though, anyone who's going to go out and buy a $80.00 (cdn) keyboard could well afford another stick of 512, right?
I give the Logitech G15 super duper gaming (and almost everything else) keyboard a 9/10!!
Even my wife was impressed...what does that tell you?? LOL
Happy Holidays To All
PS, for all you people looking for a gift for that special gamer/geek/pc person in your life, this is it, without breaking the bank like a 7800 GTX OC would!! And it'll probably get the same response!!

Hmm, made me go look.
I've got 5 other keyboards here and the G15's spacebar is no more wobbly than any other keyboard I've got. Also, it seems no more wobbly than the keys next to it or above it.
I have an old e-machine multimedia keyboard and I think it's space bar may move around more than any, but even that doesn't seem like it would be too distracting.
