Time with product: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Backlit keys, fullsize layout of the keyboard rather than compact. Works with Vista.

Weaknesses: The volume control button is smooth, if it had a texture to it, or ridges, it would be easier to use.

Summary: The backlit keys are great, and can be turned off. The keys have a nice soft touch to them, just the right amount of spring action. There is a switch for gaming mode so you can turn off the windows keys. I would buy this again

Strengths: programmable keys

Weaknesses: none!

Summary: This keyboard is great. It has programmable keys, a must have for a gamer! It doesn't have the LCD screen that the G15 has, which for me is a good thing. There is nothing that small LCD screen can tell me that my monitor can't.

Strengths: programmable keys, keyboard lights up

Weaknesses: none, except a bit expensive for a keyboard

Summary: It was hard for me to spend over $60 on a keyboard, but I needed this. I developed repetitive motion injuries from my previous keyboard. The programmable keys on this one allow me to avoid the hand movements that caused me pain. I work at night in low light, so the backlight is wonderful. The volume control works great. The media keys feel a little cheap, but you don't use them much, so it is not a problem. The regular keys have a great feel, but it is taking me a little while to get used to them after 9 years on a different keyboard. (my fault, not the keyboard.) I am disappointed that there is no power/sleep/hibernate button, but I was able to program that into one of the G keys. I wanted to NOT use the Logitech software to program the G keys because I already have a keyboard programming tool I prefer (AutoHotkeys), but that was not possible. The G keys do not generate any keycodes that a 3rd party program can intercept. Again, not a big problem, just an annoyance. Overall, this is a great product that I am glad I bought. Plain keyboards are much cheaper, but I did not find any other keyboards with programmable keys and backlight for a better price than this. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a specialty keyboard with any of the features this has.

Strengths: Backlit keys, macro's, quality, cool design, quiet keystrokes

Weaknesses: USB ports are NOT 2.0, some keys aren't completely lit, size could pose problems for some

Summary: Overall I'm very happy with this keyboard, the design is very cool and the keys feel great. The only drawback is that multiple-character keys or keys with more text aren't completely lit, making it look a little bit unfinished. But, apart from the USB ports, that is the only thing dragging down the quality of an otherwise great product a bit. There are 18 macro keys in 3 sets making for a total of 54 macro keys which are not only useful for gaming but also photoshop and other programs as well as casual use (eg: map to 'my computer' or browser)Highly recommended, esp. for gamers.
