if you're plaaning to buy G510, just get BW instead. Worth spending that huge sum on a mech kb, not a membrane kb

try the Logitech G105??

the G510 is ok, a bit longer than usual Kb out there cause of the macro keys good backlit, lots of colors, and software is very user friendly

but the media buttons are a bit laggy when playing movies.. fine for music though

if ur only looking for backlit maybe the new Logitech G105 can suit u.. this one also has macros but less compared to the G510

the Sidewinder x4 is a great kb for its price definitely much cheaper than of the G510... as to be expected considering that its quite an old model, less macro keys and backlight is in red only

if ur an MMO / RPG player the g510 should suit u well but if ur more to FPS then the x4 will be just fine imho

BW is Black Widow from Razer

well can't say that the G510 is perfect, like I said it does have some issues with my media buttons but I have no problem with the backlit lighting... oh I do hate the restart everytime a headphone jack is plugged in and out though lolx... other than that its all fine for me

Whats ur usage anyways??

well if its only occasionally then even a sidewinder x4 should suffice for ur usage
