I love my Logitech G15 keyboard and Logitech's putting out a new version of the product. The keyboard is not as wide as they eliminated a lot of the programmable keys on the left side so there are less you can customize. There are six keys now with three states for a total of 18 programmable options. The LCD display now has an orange tint to it and it's not flippable as it's now designed to be more of a part of the keyboard with the raised center leading to the LCD panel. The audio keys are also lined around the display with the four LCD buttons still underneath the panel. It still features the backlit keys and Windows key disabler for gaming. If you thought hte previous G15 was too large, this might be the one for you.

Price: $99.99                                                               Available at: www.logitech.com

Designed to provide an unprecedented level of programmability and control, the Logitech G15 keyboard offers an integrated LCD screen which can be customized to view vital in-game information, system status, CPU memory available or data from other applications without interrupting game play. The G15 keyboard offers PC gamers a tactical advantage with six programmable G-keys – and three mode keys – to create useful macros on the fly that play-back with a single key press
