Illuminated Keyboard...

The G110 is way better, and it's a real gaming keyboad, not some laptop bull****.

In your opinion perhaps.

They are very different keyboards though. If you like having a macro programmable keyboard with deep keypresses the G110 may be your thing. If you prefer a low profile keyboard with more laptop-like keys more comfortable for typing as well as playing games then the Illuminated Keyboard could well be the way to go.

If in doubt try 'em out. I sent back a few keyboards before I found the one that suited me.

This is a great keyboard and currently at a gret price you cannot beat it

@ owners of the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard:

Can you rest the left digits on shift/A/W/D/space without triggering a keypress? It looks quite sensitive at a glance!
Is the wrist bar removable?
Is the key travel/feel enough to "know" it's pressed down (e.g. iron sights key held down for a while)

Cheers

Yes
No

Yes, they aren't that sensitive.
No, you cannot. Don't know why you would want to however, its extremely well designed and very conformable
yes, don't know how to elaborate.

Its a premium keyboard, you get what you pay for.

I tend to rotate them ~30° on the desk when in games, so the smaller footprint the better I was thinking. Should fit fine anyway.

Thanks both, think I'll treat myself for Easter

I think you'll be impressed.

The only thing I can find fault with is that it's not the F1,F2,F3 etc keys that illuminate but the shortcut icons above them.

The wrist rest on the front is small enough that I use an additional gel rest in front of it and can still type better than any other keyboard I've yet found for a PC.

I can vouch for the Lycosa, not a bad thing to say about it!

Apart from it being noisy so not something to use at night. I'm thinking of keeping my Lycosa as a spare so i'm going to get another keyboard can anyone help with this as this is what i'm looking for:

Silent keys
Illuminate
audio and microphone ports (much like how the Lycosa is setup)

I was thinking of the Saitek Eclipse II but can't seem to find it anywhere so i'm thinking of the logitech G15. Has the G15 got what i want as the reviews i've read doesn't mention the audio/microphone ports?

I have the same but the blue-lit version instead of the red-lit one.

I can heartily recommend the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.

Quality and feel are second to none.

+ Me

Best keyboard i've owned, Good for gaming on as well

ooEy · 3 Apr 2010 at 22:54

OCZ Illuminati (Red or Blue LEDS with adjustable brightness) , had one about a year and its as good a keyboard as any other ive owned.

David09 · 4 Apr 2010 at 00:22

Just bought myself the Saitek K140 Backlit Slimline Multimedia Keyboard for now as its so cheap.

Any one know when Razer will bring out their next gen new keyboard?

Echo · 16 Apr 2010 at 21:27

This thing's a work of art, love it

dave00 · 17 Apr 2010 at 01:34

I have a Razer Lycosa. When the keys are actually working, its a good keyboard.

I've had mine since last year, and would have RMA'd the thing ages ago, but i don't have a spare keyboard, so i guess i'm stuck with the damn thing.

ps.. @ Echo where did you happen to get that desktop wallpaper from mate? my little boy would adore that.
