This sure is one neat gadget but that's all it would be for someone like me who almost never looks at a keyboard. I'm a gamer, I play fps games most of the time so what would be convincing to get one of those over a regular well working microsoft keyboard? :ninja:

Some games have applets where you can access certain "extra" or quickly accessible information. Like you can gte a full listing of all your ammo types or in World of Warcraft you can view your stats (HP, Spirit, Strength, Crit rate etc....) in case you don't really wanna open up your character sheet and what not.

Sadly game support for it is lacking. I mainly use it with a program called Everest to display my System usage and temps of my CPU, GPU and hard Drives.

I got my G15 last year from a friend who develops applets for the G15. She had one for RF Online and Guild Wars going and I think WoW. Though I think she concentrates mostly on the WoW Emulator Server hack now.

Is the new G15 still only available at list price ($100) or are places carrying the new one for the same price as the old one (around $70 + the occasional rebate)?

I paid $99.99 plus tax for a total of $105.99. The old one was $9 cheaper at Best Buy. It was $90.99.

geh orange color is hideous

and it seems they removed the silver buttons and usb places at the top? can't see anything near the lcd screen from those pics

Silver Buttons are there. Some are black now. On the old one they were silver. And USB connections are right at the top back. The orange is actually easier to see then the blue I think.

Dunno about the UK release date. For Canada not sure I picked mine up at Bestbuy so I'd say their or Future Shop might have it.

I'll work on the review later on tonight or tomorrow should be up by then. If I buy it I'll also have a review up for the HP C8180 everything but the kitchen sink AIO printer.

Indeed it is a very nice looking keyboard, but different people different tastes I suppose.

As far as the LCD being smaller yes it is not by much but the difference is noticable,but not a detractor it's much easier to read now the text is much crisper than with my gen 1 board.

jesus this is so ugly :x

hugs his shiny new apple keyboard :whistle:

Yea for you!!! Yep the alu and white do look nice, but I'd like a little more features if I'm going to spend 40 something dollars for the wired or 70ish for the wireless. Not too mention the keys aren't the best for touch typist the key tops are nearly flat.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
