Man, I'm waiting for the release and price on this! Color LCD! Woot! Looks great, I just don't know about the G13.. Not my cup of tea.

Me too, me too ... that's my next keyboard for sure.

I have the wireless media keyboard from Logitech, But, I really want to get one of their G line keyboards. I like this for no cords and running around with lan's and what not. But, I know i can just Go nuts over this new one!

You use wireless at lan/gaming? :wtf:

I hope this lives up to the G15 rev1 and especially hope that wrist-rest is removable. I'm also curious about the media keys. I really like the position and size of them on the G15, but they look so tiny in that pic, and I hate the idea of having them on the edges.

Probably the main things that will influence whether or not I want this is compatibility with 3rd-party G15 apps, usefulness of new 1st and 3rd-party apps, and other things related to the LCD such as resolution, size, etc.

back to orange LEDs! YES!
:laugh: colour-complete casebuild..LOL
now to find out more or buy the sidewinder x6..hm

Design looks much more like the original G15, tho it also looks like it has been cyborg'd lol. Lovin my mk1 G15, I may well look at this if and when this one needs replacing.

With the G13 gameboard, you’ll also get backlit keys that help you easily locate the right key in low-light conditions or lights-out play. And you can select from hundreds of available backlight colors, so your gameboard looks just the way you want it.

I wouldnt doubt they implemented the same backlit feature on the G18.
On the Logitech forums a lot of ppl complained about the rv2 orange lights.
and if you havent already seen this

@neocrisis :pimp:

:toast:I hate the orange leds:toast:

Thats one hot looking keyboard! G18 i mean, loving what im seeing for sure!

I like it but I dont like the orange. Im a blue man myself. Love the video so thanks for that.

Looks like it will be G15 rev 2 to G18 for me then.

Also i dont like blue in a pc at all,its a horrid cold color.orange ftw.

I'm not sure if I'm liking the look of the G18.. its something about those triangly bits on the LCD.. >>
I have to say though, I was pretty disappointed with the durability of the original G15 (blue)
I barely thrashed mine and it broke pretty quickly (under a year)
Shame the reclusa looks like such a pos too, since the M$ keyboard offerings (IMO) are much more durable. ive thrashed my plain digi media KB for ages now and it just wont break :D
If logitech can take a page from microsoft on durability, it'd go for it for sure.

I wish my Saitek Cyborg had blue LED's but I must say the green is extremely easy to read in the dark compared to the blue on the Eclipse II.

I would get this keyboard if it had some other LED color options. Otherwise I don't see any real good reason to upgrade.

NeoCrisisYou use wireless at lan/gaming? :wtf:

lol, I bet a lot of people are like that. I've tried both having wire and wireless on gaming, and with this keyboard I have, the $100 one, it doesn't have the change you may get if you spent $30 on a wireless keyboard. The Lag really isn't there on this keyboard. My bios even likes it.. lol

What is that color LCD used for, to watch videos while gaming? Despite that that would probably take it to $200 or so it would be cool if that would happen. Then on the other hand, I'm kinda like the G13 a bit better if it's handy enough for gaming depending on how bind-happy I am. Pretty LCD....

I hate wireless things :( my mouse lags like crap at times even though its pretty much 10 inches from the reciever thingy.

The mouse I do have as only wired. There is a difference with mouse, but not so much with wireless keyboards from what I can see. If you spend money on a thing, then it will give you what it is needed, but if you don't.. It's going to be poo.. The wireless keyboard/ mouse combo, I have also has a 10in extention usb cable, so i can plug the Bluetooth usb there and be all good on the distance.

I think I would find all that stuff on those keyboards too distracting. It looks awfully good though.

Thing is its a MX revolution and cost £50 :(

According to that one guys post, you should be able to change the color of the LEDs to what you want.

I have a $100 Microsoft wireless desktop and the wireless keyboard sucks horribly for gaming. Thats with brand new batteries and the reciever right up on the thing. I use it for my server basicaly now.

This G18 if the LEDs can change colors like mentioned :respect:

I'll probably stick to my G15 Rev2. I can't really see the point of the colour LCD. The one on the G15 is awesome, can see songs on WMP in game and can see whos talking on vent...thats all I need :).

I do mainly play FPS games though, so the extra media keys are just a waste of space to me.

Also orange is a lot better than blue IMO. My entire room has blue LED lights; my computer and the matx. Yet the keyboard (and new razer krait mouse) are orange / yellow. They stand out and look the best in the room (makes me wanna change my blue LEDs to red :p)

I did'nt really need that LCD thingy, that why i got the G11.

I love being able to monitor my temps, network usage, volume, resource usage, time/date, etc. all in a glance with 3rd-party apps (LCD sirreal) and the foobar2000 plugin is great too cuz it lets you format how/what you want displayed for up to four different modes and switch between them easily. Media keys are a must imo, I can't live without them. I would like a volume wheel that was higher resolution (smaller steps) though, and maybe the ability to change which volume parameter is being adjusted (main, wave, front, rear, center, etc.)
