The g15 has an lcd screen, which once you have you will fall in love with! Also check out the G19, its got a colored lcd screen. IMO the best is the original G15 but I'm not sure how you'd find one of those now. The next best choice from there is a G19 which will be slightly more pricey but has double the macro keys as the g15 revision 2. For reference the original G15 has 18 macro keys X 3 modes, G15 R2 has 6 keys X 3 modes and you cannot adjust the lcd screen angle, G19 has color, tilt adjustable lcd and 12 keys X 3 modes but needs to be plugged into a power outlet as well as a usb port. |

If you're looking for Macros, the Saitek Eclipse doesn't have them. I own one, it's a great board, but I don't use keyboard macros. If I do, I just make them myself and bind them to my mouse usually. |

any saitek models with macros and have good reviews? Also, the G19 is just out of my price range.... =/ |

I'd personally go with the Razer Lycosa :) |
|
|
My friend bought the razer lycosa recently he likes it but the reviews for it are VERY mixed, saying how the keys wear out extremely quick and get stuck. Also, does it have macros? |

I had a Saitek Eclipse for about 2 years, works fine, but didn't like not having any macro keys on the board.
Went and picked up a G11, which is pretty cheap nowadays. Has worked great, the keys have not warn down on my end. Overall, a pretty nice keyboard. |

Can you link me to a site where I can get the G11? Most of the ones I saw were UK sites and after exchange rates its pretty much the same as a G110 |

Originally posted by ozerinx Hm, from what I looked at, it does seem to be the same price.
I got it on sale for like 30 bucks, so that could be it. |

No I don't believe the lycosa has designated macros, but you can program ANY key to do whatever you want it to do. |

lol Thanks I will keep looking.... |

With the Razer Lycosa if I set macros to my regular keys wouldn't it make it so I can't use my keyboard basically. I want to make macros liek alt+1,2,3,4,5 etc that type of things. Also, what is the difference between the Razer Lycosa and Razer Arctosa... I know Arctosa don't have color LED lights.. but what else? |

Saitek has come out with the Cyborg that have macros. Its also a fair bit larger then the rest of the Saitek Keyboards. |

The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. |

I have the G19 only reason I nabbed one is because of a boxing day sale. I upgraded from a G15. I like that I can change the backlit keys to any colour, I like the mini colour screen too, handy for youtube and stuff. There are more macro keys too. If I was too pick between the g15 and g110 I would go g15 personally.

I've never actually had a keyboard with a screen... is it REALLY that good? lol the screen on G15 looks ghetto compared to the G19.... Price wise I'm leaning towards Arctosa or Lycosa..... Which one would people recommend out of those two? EDIT I also took a look at the Saitek Cyborg it also looks like a good keyboard but how does it compare to the Razer Arctosa or Lycosa.. The reviews for all 3 of these keyboards are pretty similar... |

I use a Merc Stealth, was Ideazon but they got bought out and is sold by Steel series now. Awesome keyboard that's completly programmable, I wouldn't use anything else now.

mm!op!i use merc stealth its a good keyboard with ton of feature!
dont know that microsoft one but if its not a cheapo its probably good
im using microsoft headphone and i got to say for the price they are awsome,dont forget to activate the protection since
you might break them without the protection.this is my second set of microsoft(nono first was fine but it got stuck in my air ride seat in my big rig and was broken because of that lol)i tried verious one after that and i have come to the conclusion that i cant beat microsoft quality for the price
now if they can release a good wireless version i ll be in perfect armony with my computer karma!
