That said, I dunno why you would need a G13 and a G18 as displayed, G13 is for game control, G18 would've been for chat and everything else (*ahem* work) but a model-M works much better for that.

If they could get a) a G13 with blue lighting b) a model-M style keyboard with the GamePanel display I would be sold on both in an instant. I loved, besides everything else about it, the blue motif of my original G15 and was very sad when I accidentally spilled a glass of water on it and found that there were no more blue G15s to be found. The GamePanel display also really comes in handy if for nothing other than having the time displayed on it so I don't lose track of the time while in a full-screen game. For those of you who suggest adding on a seperate clock altogether for $15 or something, well that's about what the GamePanel added to the G11 in order to make the G15 - $15, and of course the GamePanel could do so much more.]]>Dec 11th 2008 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/

From what I've heard the LCD on their keyboards has a couple of nice features like seeing who's in Ventrilo/Teamspeak (who's talking, etc..) A bunch of other mods, too. I've considered it just for that feature alone.]]>Dec 11th 2008 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/

The ways the keys are lit up in the middle of the day is just a little 'suss'.
Not to mention there are some artifacts over the keyboard when there are none in the picture itself.

And that's either smudging on the bottom of the keyboard 'grip' thing, or someone hasn't taken much care of Logitech's latest prototype? Which I doubt.]]>Dec 16th 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/and i jizzed in my pants.]]>Dec 10th 2008 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 11th 2008 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/

My point above is still valid about the gamepad.

Also, remember guys the G15 has an LCD screen too. Suppose most of you were not old enough to 'jizz in ur pants' back then tho. I like the G15 better but the screen on this has a cool border and looks like it will click into place nicely when your not playing.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I wondered why no one had thought of that yet, but it will probably be logitech's own proprietary version of it or something.

I still don't think this or the 2nd Gen G15 are proper successors to the original G15. Just like as good as the G9 is they didn't quite hit the same affect as the G5 for me love the laser engine of the 9 and I won't go back to the 5 I just would rather have had that laser in the 5's shell or in the Revolution's shell.]]>Dec 11th 2008 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/Dec 10th 2008 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/logitech-g18-gaming-keyboard-shows-its-not-so-ugly-face/
