Ash Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotabigtruck Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wd40 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 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 hideousand 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.

DJLunacy Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thats cool the new software works for the last G15 but how would you map the rest of the keys? Are the USB ports 2.0? Or are they still 1.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The orange is easier on the eyes. I like it. The question is, how do I get it in Ontario, Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSlow Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I've been waiting so long to buy this, however I can't find a UK release date, does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.cell Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Meh, I'd rather get the G11. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 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.

Blackhearted Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Looks to me like the LCD is also on the list of features that got smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzyyfool Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thats one ugly keyboard. :x Reminds me of the old BBC computers off of the 70's and 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I don't find it ugly, I drool all over it son!! It's either this or the Di Novo Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 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.

A10 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
