We spied the Logitech G13 Gamepad when it was announced earlier today, and now Engadget Chinese has caught wind of something else that may be in store for us. The keyboard pictured above is apparently the G18, and we while we have almost no solid info on it, we can glean a few things, such as the apparent groupings of fast function keys on the left side of the board (some which seem to be numbered G11-G15), not to mention that tiny display at the center. We don't know when we can expect this beast to arrive, but the G13 Gamepad is expected in January so fingers crossed.
+1
Yay! I spilled milk all over my G15 and haven't yet repurchased it (and don't like the 'new' G15). Seems waiting has actually paid off for ONCE in the tech game. Hurry up to retail G18!
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like some kind of half-baked pre-production version? Tiny screen with a huge surround, crowded unorganized buttons at the top, and the orange, OH THE ORANGE. I
And I'll still end up buying the Ultrax for 15EUR and doing just fine.
" not to mention that tiny display at the center. "
It's an iPhone!
And next we will have a mouse with a color display ;)

man i just bought a G15 too...I really wish you can change the color for the keyboard...you can do it for the G9 mouse so why not the keyboard?
If that's a 'not so ugly' keyboard then wtf is the ugly model like? That would be the ugliest keyboard I'd ever seen in my life, if I hadn't seen several other 'gaming keyboards'...
(Or maybe that line was sarcasm? In which case, sorry.)
Red lettering on black == ugly, and that counts for site designs too YOU HEAR ME!?!!
The orange is really amber. The most ergonomic color. I used amber on my first Zenith PC, way back in the very early 1980 to write code for e-mail and IM applications running accross T1, OC3, Tymnet and Telnet networks
No, Logitech you idiots!
No one liked the G15.2 because of it's annoying screen and shit colour, so why use the same type of screen and shit colours?
We want a nice screen (Colour is good though) with BLUE neons? Or at least something like AlienWare's LightFX and the G9 Mouse where you can change the colours yourself.
Although, seeing as no more information is known, maybe you can change the colours!
I like how there's 12 G-Keys, because 18 feels too much and the 6 on the G15.2 is just stupid.
Oh yeah, I own the G15.1 and I've used my mates G15.2 a fair bit, so I know enough about both keyboards.
This might look like a photoshop, etc but one thing that caught my eye is the G15 on Logitech's Website has had a price cut, and now it shows Limited Quantities Available... Which tells me that there is indeed a new version coming.
