Looking for illuminating keyboard

[trakaill]

Eclipse is ok but on the II the silver paint fades really fast...and every single review I read that was the complaint..every one of them..

I dont like razer products and dont buy razer products.. and Ive read bad reiviews about the quality of the lycosa so no

I have a refurbished G11 from ebay for 2 years now and I love it..I didnt go with the G15 cause they didnt manufacture the blue at the time and all the ones I found refurbished were European...

It works flawlessly except you have 18 G keys which are quite useless hence why the G15 has 6 or 8 I forget...it makes the key board huge..

I didnt like the bulge on the new g15 anyway and orange was eeewww...

 

Logitech is just plain pure awesomeness

Razer mice are good.

Most gaming products from razer and logitech tend to be good, and get better support, since they know they can't pull shit with PC gamers. Kinda hard to mess with a group of people that by definition tend to know more about your product's internal organs than you do.

 

Imho keyboard illumination is second to good keypress feel and mechanical functionality. Find a keyboard YOU like thats good quality, you can always get a little bendy USB LED desklight or something.

 

That said... The g15 has three flaws. One is it's HUGE, this thing is just about 22 inches from one side to the other and a foot deep. The other is the USB ports next to the screen are awkwardly positioned, unpowered, and 1.0 speed. Lastly, it's not a true mechanical keyboard even though it does have amazingly good keypress feel for a not-strictly-mechanical board.

 

Some people like enormous keyboards, I know I do, others don't. I've never used the USB ports for obvious reasons, and if you don't have a need to see your comps stats or a vent readout the screen is pointless and you should get a G11. Personally I make use of all features, and eventually plan to upgrade to the G19 when I win the lottery and have more money than sense.

 

I will say this for microsoft and razer gaming boards: If they really have solved the 3-keypress-limit issue then go for them over the g15, being able to hit any key combination you want any time is absolutely worth it if you also like the keypress feel.

The logitech G11 is the less pricier variant of the G15, it's a pretty good keyboard, which I have currently
