Does any1 use gaming k/boards??

I use a G15 and to be honest, I wasted my money.

I don't use the macro keys that often

The LCD is quite nice, since I've got my PC resources showing while playing and can see what MP3's are playing and control them while in a game. but overall it is a waste, since the few games that can, only display a very limited amount of info.

The backlighting is very nice. and is now a feature I cant live without.

I would rather go for a Microsoft/Razor Reclusa:

I also got G15 logitech keyboard I also can honestly say i don't use the macro keys. i will say it depends highly in witch games u play.But the lcd is nice:P
If it is only the macro keys u want and u don't care that much about the lcd you can always look @ The logitech g11 same thing just without lcd.
 
I heard rumours that people with those ran into problems with anti-cheating mechanisms in some games. i.e. the macros are to close to bots. Dunno if it's true tough.
 
i bought the g-15 and i love it

i dont use macro keys because i believe its cheating

the keyboard is total and utter quality

if you have cash bye it, but by the new g keyboard the g 19 or something much better
 
Its all in the mouse baby. I have a R100 generic KB and a Logitech Gaming mouse (MX518), It is all in the mouse :D
 
I prefer to stik with a 'normal' keyboard and mouse. I'm not going to spend more money just for some extra buttons - games are made with generic keyboard+mouse combos and thats what I'll stick with :p
 
My buddy WOW's with a Z-Board. He says it totally changed the game for him, and i can see the major advantages it gives him. If you play specific games a lot, maybe a zboard is worth investigating.
 
G15 keyboard user here...

backlight i can never not have again
LCD is amazing for FPS/Network activity/CPU&RAM usage and mp3's
Macro's are wicked for gamings... i play DotA and i got them set to things like : -ap -ma -ms -di "Say All" taunts "teamonly" things like "come here" ... etc...

works like a charm!
 
I'm using the Logitech G11 and it's good enough but I only use the basic features, using the G keys etc are just too much for me :)

I only got the keyboard because it looked cool and because I didn't have to pay for it :)
 
Another happy G15 user.

Backlit keys are probably the best feature, especially at late night LANs. I actually the LCD as well in BF2 and BF2142. Shows you your weapon and ammo load-out, kills, deaths, server info, etc

Very handy.

Agreed. I use mine for some CS:S stats since I don't really play Battlefield online...
 
Sounds like the LCD is not worth the extra tom... the g11 looks like a cool buy, very gud feature must be the backlit keys ;) BTW to those that have these boards, is the build quality gud or what, i mean the letters n stuff does not start to fade away easily???
 
Mine is about 2 years old and the lettering on the W,A,S,D,E and Space keys are all starting to fade away. Mind you, I do play games a lot... But the build quality is excellent!
