| 427648 | 2006-02-06 05:30:00 | Are gaming keyboards worth getting if you are to be using your computer mostly for games, or is a normal keyboard just as good? I was looking at a Z Board keyboard, but are these things just a gimmick and no better than a standard keyboard? Is a normal optical mouse all you need, or should it be a laser mouse for playing games? | Tony Tucker (9565) | ||
| 427649 | 2006-02-06 05:46:00 | I am looking at the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (www.logitech.com) it has just been released here, I won't tell you about it, read it from the link :) I think that this one will be better for gaming than a standard board with its LCD screen and what not. I don't know about that, optical are fine, it is just that lasar are more precise, I have a Logitech G7 here and it is great with its adjustable sensitivity. :) HTH :thumbs: |

| 427650 | 2006-02-06 06:39:00 | I have a G15 and its GREAT! Apart from just the programmable keys and LCD it also looks cool. Especially at night. | pctek (84) | ||
| 427651 | 2006-02-06 06:47:00 | I fully agree with PC Tek's comments as I also have a G15 gaming keyboard and it certainly is fantastic as well as Logitech's G5 laser mouse! | Chemical Ali (118) | ||
| 427652 | 2006-02-06 06:52:00 | Looks like crap to me, Bloatware built into a keyboard. Does anyone go to the bother of setting up game specif profiles and mapping key-sequences to an seperate additional key? My KB already has over 100 buttons, more then enough for any and every game ever made, and ROFLMFAO at the LCD screen. |

| 427653 | 2006-02-06 18:42:00 | Yeah I'm with Metla on this one... "Gaming Keyboard"... sounds a bit like trying to polish a turd really. These things don't serve any benefit... unless as stated they come pre-configured for a wide variety of games... What's the point of getting this gaming keyboard if you have to program it yourself... which is what you do with a normal keyboard anyway. As for the lights and LCD screen... well if you're playing games... do you really have time to look at the visual aestetics of your peripheral hardware... Built-in LCD what a load of sheee-ite!!! What next... LED's in the back of your monitor that go round and round... or better yet a disco ball!!! cheers chiefnz |

| 427654 | 2006-02-07 06:06:00 | Yes, I think it might be better to get a normal keyboard that is cheeper. It sounds like these gaming keyboards are not worth buying. | Tony Tucker (9565) | ||
| 427655 | 2006-02-07 06:54:00 | The programmable keys are for combinations, like a macro, not single key commands. And I don't care, it LOOKS cool too. |

| 427656 | 2006-02-07 12:21:00 | I got a Microsoft Multimedia keyboard and it's good for gaming, pretty much any decent keyboard is good for gaming as long as you are comfortable with it. Wireless maybe a disadvantage as some people say it has slow and limited reponse, such as you can't press too many controls at once. | michaelqian (9385) | ||
| 427657 | 2006-02-07 12:33:00 | I saw a gaming keyboard in the warehouse the other day, you could lift off all the normal keys and replace with gaming keys. Forward, reverse, left, right, fire, etc, etc. looked very cool, kinda similar to this (www.zboard.com) | Rob99 (151) | ||
