Rebrands are a bit screwy,hey look at our nice new product that WE did not make.
Ive got an LX300 K/M set, LX3000 K/M set, G7 M, Saitek GM40 M & some gay generic USB mouse made by sony which controls my laptop but its now outta use as i managed to 'remote' my laptop from my desktop & have it more or less permanently on my 2nd screen which i managed to setup a few days ago. its not a real pretty setup. the 2nd screen is a old 15" CRT screen or something that was lying around at the time

On mine i have 4 pages of info on my lcd(temps/fans/volts/cpu/gpu speeds) from everest ultimate,it is so useful being able to check on my cpu/gpu temps while a game is running,without having to alt tab.Also the macro keys are useful for apps and not just games.
I will be keeping my G15 till it is falling apart,so i dont think it is overly expensive.
Edit-The rev2 is quite a bit shorter than the rev1,i nvr bought the rev1 because it was too long.
Logitech Wireless 510 and Logisys Ultra Slim Multimedia.

- 1ms key response time (1000hz polling / USB2 profile versus the usual 125hz / 8ms / USB 1)
- 10 key simultaneous keypress
- Removable / replaceable keys (comes with extra keys with icons, etc.) - also helps with cleaning
- 32KB onboard memory to support 5(?) switchable profiles + software to manage which 5 you have loaded
- Key Backlight (for some keys)
- Dock area for some strange accessories (webcam, keyboard light(!), etc.)
- Nicer materials
They do look similar though.
