MicroCenter/BestBuy/CompUSA should have them in soon, as they carry the G15. Personally, I like ergonomic/wave keyboards, since I started using one about 6 years ago, and I started training myself to use a straight one ~1 year ago, with the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 (it's only kinda curved) so I can get used to a lappy straight keyboard. However, the G15 (and thus, G11) is a rather impressive keyboard, except for one tiny thing...

The "rubber" that surrounds it.. feels strange. Especially after washing your hands (with soap). It has a "suck the moisture from your skin" feel. That's the main reason I didn't buy it, it was uncomfortable to use. But I used to play with it all the time when I worked at MicroCenter.]]>Oct 4th 2006 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
Loved it when I used it, though.]]>Oct 4th 2006 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
Still, it's a great keyboard, and the macro keys are excellent once you get used to them.]]>Oct 4th 2006 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/]]>Oct 4th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
No USB keyboard will work at any bootloader screen if USB Legacy Keyboard support is disabled in the BIOS.]]>Oct 4th 2006 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/Oct 4th 2006 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
The G15 is not enough keyboard for the money...]]>Oct 4th 2006 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
The G keys come in handy. For CS you can bind weapon buy scripts to a key, letting you buy everything quickly at the beginning of a round, giving you a head start on the opposing team.

All in all, it's a good way to keep an eye on all of your system's specs. If you're not the kind of person that wants to know the processor load, bandwidth, temp, etc, and you don't play games much (or need to keep track of stats), the screen probably isn't necessary. Little things like that make it worth the money, at least for me.]]>Oct 4th 2006 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
But the LCD is awsome i use it all the time, even in normal windows applications. Best gaming keyboard ive used until now.]]>Oct 4th 2006 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/04/logitechs-g11-gaming-keyboard-reviewed/
A little off topic, but lately I've been seeing tv ads for a backlit keyboard that looked really cool. It had 4 usb ports built into it, they were giving away a wireless laser mouse with it and a nifty mouse pad that also had usb ports built into it. After seein gthe commercial a few times I decided I wanted to look the product up and see how the reviews for it was to see if I wanted to buy it(it was like 19.99 plus 39.99 if you kepted it after the 30 days 'try it' period.) but I haven't seen the damn commercial since. Anyone know the name of the keyboard? I've tried all sorts of googgle searches and I just can't find it. Anyone else seen this commercial? Anyone know the name of the product? Its making me mad. I saw the commercial about 20 times and ignored it, now that I might want it I never see the damn thing.
