Logitech G15

I really want one of these, but in the UK they can be as much as the equilivant of $110

I'm kinda waiting for a battered G15 to come on eBay so I can pick it up for cheap and still have all the functions.

What are your keys like? The first run of keyboards were missing a coat of clear coat to protect the keys. My G15 had smooth keys, while the one my brother bought later had textured keys. The smooth key ones are the ones being worn down.

That would explain it, my keys have a slight texture, can't really feel it but you can see it in the right light.

No go on the replacement for me. They wanted me to send my old one to them first and then they would send me a new one. I didn't want to go two weeks without a keyboard over 3 keys and if I had to go buy a temp keyboard, I may as well go buy another one and take this one to work for using in my office there. I asked if they could just send me the three keys and I could change them myself. He said they weren't able to do that.

He also told me that the early manufactured keyboards are having the problem with the "fading" keys and the later manufactured ones do not have this problem.

I can't blame them, probably alot of people scamming them over this so it is no suprise they want the old one back first.

Wow, I seem to be the exception. I think I just got lucky then. :confused:

Yep, like I said though, ya can't blame them. Can you imagine how many people probably scammed them into sending replacement keyboards when in fact they didn't even ever own a G15? I suppose I should have gone thru the replacement process, but going two weeks without my G15 just isn't worth the hassle to me.

Oh and yes, I would for sure buy another G15 if I needed a second one. They are great keyboards. They type very good, and of course the LCD is useful to me as well.
 
I need to call them and get a replacement. I've just been too lazy to do it lately.
 
Hmm... backlit keyboards... how 'bout

The G15 does feel somewhat greasy, even when there doesn't appear to be anything on it or your hands. As well the keys are painted black unfortunately the black paint is on the key surface. While it may be cheaper for them to do it this way it makes for an inferior product. For those of you who haven't witnessed the awesomeness of the G15 yet, here is a pic.

In my case the wear wasn't apparent until after 2 months, its about 3 months now and the 'S' key is pretty messed up, the 'W' , 'E' and 'I' keys are starting to wear as well. There are also some small spots where you can see the backlight leaking through on other keys across the keyboard.
Next step is to call Logitech and see if they'll refund the purchase price or send me a different model keyboard. I doubt i'll have any luck with that tho.

I think that has changed now. Some people in another thread were reporting that Logitech now does RMA more traditionally now with these keyboards.

My thoughts exactly. Until I see one I won't get my hopes up. Though I must say that I would probably pay up to $300.00 for such a keyboard as long as it was high enough quality that it would last me 5 years or so. I don't mind if a $80 keyboard only lasts me a couple of years, but I won't tolerate such failure from an expensive part such as that.
