hmm...try order from pcgamer? but i think their price are much more higher. why dont want the eclipse II? initially i wanna get that too. but the price a lil high for typical keyboard with lights.

alright. got my g15 at last. hahah...the keys are kinda flat to my likings. but i think i might get used to it. btw, how come i cant find any warranty form in the box? u guys got ur warranty form/card with the keyboard?

btw, can i have the LCD manager running with other 3rd party software like lcd studios and the otehr dunno wat LCD bla bla...do i need the default LCDmon to be able to use the LCd studio or LCD hype?

hm...lots of things to read. lol...so u guys use LCD studio to program what u wanna see on the lcd?

lol...it is hard to find and guess from the current reviews (end user forum, not those marketing websites), it has lots of bugs. by seeing this, i think it is hard to claim warranty if anything goes wrong, as my place ppl dont know what the heck is razer. lol...

anyways, anyone uses everest here? damn good software!!! hahaha...ianho did u actually purchased it?

btw, do you get your warranty card inside the box, z3r0717?

well, there's ppl using them on BF2142 and WoW. at least those are kinda popular games.

yeah..it was the design too that freaks me off. lol...it is made in singapore! haha...and sg brand too.

btw, updated the first page.

hahaha.....i remember the old white colored one (rectangle in shape, compared to newer new touch). it is a damn good keyboard. but i broke the keys.

hey, anyone got nice LCD fonts to use for G15? what u peps using (fonts) for use with everest ultimate 3.5? i got some fonts from g15forums, but the words arent that nice if bolded.

of course can la. yeah. using everest 3.5 now. muahahha...nice software. but the only thing that i wanted cant display is the chipset temp. (can be seen in ite smart guardian tho). u duno how to change font? then how u arrange the things u wanna monitor? temps, cpu utilization, bla bla bla...

as i seen mine, it was painted. the F key has some very minor light leak (paint issue) by the time i got it. but it is very very minor so i just ignored it. hahah...

short review after a month of using G15:

Typing: the keys feel very comfortable, responsive and solid. typings are smooth and quiet. i like the feelings typing on this keyboard. a lil bit like those old type newtouch keyboard. and keys do not seem to stuck. need to get used to the size because of the length and the G keys (ESC key is not the first key from the top left now. )

Gaming: been using this keyboard to play most of the FPS games like CSS, FEAR, Swat, CoD2 and etc. havent encountered any problems so far. and of course, not getting any stuck keys like i used to had. There's this gaming mode, where basically the G15 locks the window keys so you wont accidentally press them while gaming. (say, trying to crouch using the Ctrl key) A nice touch.

Macro: The macro keys are functional. for example, i could buy weapons in CSS in just one press. there are 3 mappings for 18 macro keys at the same time. so u can bind up to 54 keys for a game using profiles. It is up to your creativity. Profiles will be automatically loaded as you start a specific game or application. It depends on how you set it in the Profiler that comes with the G15. I can do multiple format (fonts, size, styles, etc) on the wordings in notepad or Word by just one key using the macro functions. You could set delays too, if you need them. (In CSS, i set delay of 0.05 sec, sometimes if it's too fast, the game wont detect the macro anything lesser than 0.04s, i think, correct me if i'm mistaken). You could do real time macro recording too by using the MR key. I havent tried with other applications yet, but it dint work in CSS maybe because the delays werent recorded.

LCD: The LCD is quite useful, as some of you might think it was just a gimmick. When paired with Everest Ultimate 3.5 (native support for G15), one can virtually monitor everything of his/her PC. Voltages, clock speeds, utilization, fan speeds, temperature, time, date...bla bla. As long as your hardware supports software monitorings. Applets can be downloaded too. there's a lot of creative LCD applications out there. Monitor your network/internet bandwidth (BT download speed too!), display musical visualization for winamp and media player and lots more. It is for you to explore the capability of this little LCD.The original LCD application that comes with the G15 consists of Countdown timer, POP3 monitor, Media Display (displays volume, song artists, titles and time), Performance monitor (ram and CPU usage) and LCD clock. I dont need to put a clock beside my PC now, while gaming.

Misc: Media buttons let you control Play/pause, Next, Prev, Stop and volume of your media applications (winamp, media player and media player classic support the function very well). The Blue backlights could be turned completely off, low bright and high bright. There's a mute button too. There are channels below the keyboard for you to hide all the cables of your mouse, headphones underneath the G15. Two USB ports are located at the top of the keyboard. Too bad they are only USB 1.1. Maybe can use for a USB fan or reading lamp.

Alright, that's basically most of it. I would give it a 10/10 if it wasnt for the paint problem which bloated the forums. I foresee mine would have the same problem in the future, hence, I give the G15 a 8/10 (and for the 1.1 USB too! ). Functionality wise, you can't go wrong with a G15. of course, for that price you pay.

after using G15, i cant use other keyboard without LCD anymore. ahh...

yeah. hahaha...been playing with my G15. i think too much typing and gaming, the g15 now makes a lil sound. the keys are loose now. lol..isnt that bad, but not as smooth as last time tho.

btw, i seldom use macro keys. except some in CS. but a lil buggy, the timing maybe. i will need to optimize them. wat games need to use whole bunch of macros?

i see...i mainly play FPSs, so the macros din have much use. lol...maybe some tactical games later on.

i've been using it for bout a month plus nearly 2 months. it is not THAT loose. lol..just that not as solid as before. u cant really tell the difference. hahaha...i am just a very sensitive user.

lol...u are selling about same price as those retailers. pls dont do plain ad here. go to garage sales.

it is used to record macros.

you mean how to "use". hahaha...
just press it, then press a G key then press your macros and MR again.

logitech G15. i think the paint will come off if u got the first few batches. but later batch i heard it was fixed. or u can try your luck with razer tarantula, which basically have just a lil bit more function from odinary keyboard (anti-ghosting features are to be tested). or saitek eclipse II a normal keyboard with backlights.

the price range would be from RM200 up to 300+. personally recommend G15 for the price u pay. if u dont need too much functions, saitek eclipse II will fit your needs.

yeah..i personally dont use that much of macros. lol...plus, i cant remember them all if there arent any stickers on it. the lcd is very useful if u know how to put things inside. it is too much to say here. try google or G15forum.com or G15mod.com.

hahaha....list already updated.
yeah...g15. if they put like only two rows of macro it would be perfect. lol...

ALL IT? or viewnet? or can get thru online game shop eg pcgame.com.my
