    feel wise, it's the same as the standard logitech keyboard with the multimedia buttons and what not, which is what i have. i've compared the two in store, no difference. i think i might actually like mine better... the screen is nice, i guess.... a lot of people like the saitek too, it's lighted. i'd say save the money and just get a nice normal keyboard.

    great gaming keyboard, and a must for any modder / tinkerer / overclocker. Use LCD Studio and the G15 Matrix as well as your own plugins to modify things the way you want ;)

    The best keyboard i've owned, and I love the feel of the rubbery plastic on the sides and hand rest of the keyboard ;)

    It also gives you advantages in "certain" games such as BF2 if you like to configure it to your liking with the macro keys. Almost like auto aim for tv'ing in the chopper, or healing, etc. ;)

    It basically owns. If you have a desktop, or even a laptop that you mainly use in one place that I would suggest getting it. Althought when you do get it its not a bad idea to clear coat the keys.. at least the ones that you use the most, but thats up to you. Because they black paint does wear off after a while, which doesn't effect the performance.. but its just not as good looking.

    I hate it. It was just uncomforatable... but hey, that's just me. I think the screen is a neat idea.

    I love mine. if for no other reason than the backlight keyboard. I don't really care about the macros very much or teh LCD for gaming....I just leave the LCD on clock and it'll show me how many unread emails I have in outlook. I think its worth every penny and I don't even use it like it is "supposed" to be used for gaming.
