QUOTE(KHOdin @ Mar 29 2009, 07:59 PM) if for that i would recommend u just a normal KB will do... i tried a few normal normal KB the keys sometimes arent smooth and i really dislike that. its like, whenever i try to type fast, i hit a key, but the alphabet doesnt appear. its like it got jam half way. its not smooth and most of the time im looking at the documents without looking at the monitor or KB. so sometimes when i type so long suddenly there is a typo. its a waste of time and totally not efficient   anyway i heard dell keyboard is one of the best for typing. anyone care to comment? |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Mar 29 2009, 10:54 PM) it is... i really want to get dell multimedia KB but when i see G15 its so irressistable go to Bulk Order section and look for allngap's thread for the Dell Multimedia Keyboard. costs about RM90 and typing feel is excellent. it can also take alot of abuse (it did from me for quite some time)...n believe it or not...the build quality is even more sturdier than the more expensive MS Reclusa. if all ur looking for is a nice, no frills keyboard thats good for typing...the Dell Multimedia keyboard is the one to get. one of the best keyboards ive ever used. if u want something bling bling and has laptop style keys....i went to ALL IT today and fell in love with the looks of the Enermax Caesar keyboard... but i personally wouldnt buy it coz i dont like laptop style keys and i dont like the small backspace button and large enter buttons. anyway..heres a REVIEW of the keyboard in case ur interested (strongly recommend u read the review first).  i think i might get dell KB after all. G15 for me is a lil overkill. i dont really do extreme gaming. i just need a nice, smooth and good typing keyboard. and i also dont really like those laptop KB too, thats why everglide is off the books  |

just got my G15 this afternoon
and typing feels great with it but somehow it wasnt as solid looking as i thought. and the stand is a lil low. i still prefer my previous logitech cheapo multimedia kb which has a higher stand. other than that, everything looks fine  somehow still have get use to it. always ter-press my G keys on the left when im trying to press esc and tab button This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Apr 7 2009, 06:00 PM |

QUOTE(Calvin_PB @ Apr 19 2009, 02:45 AM) actually not all gaming keyboard will fade, u can see as SS 6G and 7G wont fade, even though hardcore using 7G, it is ony 50% fade, and it is not fully, it still can be seen... is G15 keys printed on the button? from the way i look at it, its like the character is the button. its like within it. looks like the backlights thats lighten the keys for viewing (if you get what i mean). that's from what i see see . but when i feel each keys, there is a slight sticker feeling. so im still not sure whether its printing or stick on it. i guess those backlit gaming keyboard like G15 or x6 will fade also wont fade so easily, and havent ppl say it will fade yet, but not sure how hardcore is them...  but i do believe its like the character is the result of a transparents on the button. so what do you guys think? |

QUOTE(TomatomanzSeedlezz @ Apr 24 2009, 03:09 AM) It depends what functions are u into... btw, what keyboard currently ur using now?.. have to agree with that. G15 doesnt look solid like you see in the picture. on the other hands X6 looks alot more solid Imo, if ur referring to price=performance, i'll say g15 more worth it. If price isn't yer concern, and u don't use lcd on the keyboard at all, imo SidewinderX6 its great, feels much more solid than g15. SidewinderX6 keys are very visible even with the backlight turned-off, and when the backlights turned-on its looks "ganas" and of course bright with its intense red lights. Cheers and a very nice and bright backlight. black and red match very well but im not sure if typing is as comfortable as G15 or better. |

QUOTE(Ash @ Apr 24 2009, 04:39 PM) For those who have been waiting for the SteelSeries Merc Stealth keyboard review, I now proudly present to you a new hardware review blog being done by me and my partner Tommy aka chiam_ace. this thing is huge http://at-hardware.blogspot.com/ Comments are appreciated be it constructive or destructive as we are all trying hard to provide an unbiased review website for the readers. Any other possible products that you guys would want us to review on? the design is nice what i like about that keyboard is that each and every key can be customize. the software they provide is just wow  the bad side imo, its the keys layout. the direction keys is stuck with those numpad and for me, i really dislike it.  and is the backlight bright? can't really see from the pic and also this part looks interesting  This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Apr 24 2009, 05:02 PM |

QUOTE(Kyl3 @ Apr 26 2009, 12:14 PM) Honestly, I don' buy the response time thingy. But i have no doubt on the quality of the build for 7g me too. imo, i dont think there is a huge difference but im not sure coz i never use any mechanical keyboard before. like my G15v2 i use it for massive typing and i feel superb. i wonder what's the difference if i were to use 7G. i cant really afford 7G though. its way too expensive for me to spend on a KB plus, it doesnt have any extra feature.  QUOTE(david9 @ Apr 26 2009, 01:51 PM) g15 ... i bought it for RM255 though. that was like a month back. imo, just wait for G19 emmm how much g15 selling anyway ? i really got poison when i saw that keyboard over youtube This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Apr 26 2009, 02:06 PM |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Apr 28 2009, 03:34 AM) the G15v2 not enough macro keys for me man..... you olang gila only use so many macros you are the first person i seen utilizing all your macros. i cant even think how am i going to use all my marcos anyway i think red led would fit the G15v2 perfectly. but i heard if you wanna mod, you need to use back the same led with the same voltage right? im seriously thinking of modding my G15v2 but i dont have the guts |

imo, modding is always better coz you have put effort into it and thats what makes your hardware special
something like custom made. too bad i dont have the skill to do so  anyway i seen youtube video on G19 and its really drooling looking at the backlight. its alot more brigther from what i see plus with all those combination colour just makes it perfect. what i like the most is the LCD. its alot more clear and not to mention, its coloured |

QUOTE(PoorMe @ Apr 29 2009, 03:17 AM) What i mean here is the USB port can b use to plug our thumb drive or our mouse during we do lanparty or so. I know there is 2 USB port, but once we plug in the ac adapter n another to the motherboard still got USB port for us?So this is not a keyboard to go for those who are doing lanparty frequently. "But for this kind of price they should built in a headphone n 1 or 2 USB ports at least to convenience all of us." This is my opinion n what i think only. i dont really get what you mean bro. there is already 2 usb port right and the adapter is to power up the USB port for high speed hopefully the price is not finalize when it reach here. so far the price is still a rumor |

the best thing of valo is the macro keys. its place in a right position (at least to me
) and a total 41 macro is superbly useful for ppl like orang gila  This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Jun 6 2009, 05:02 AM |
