I got myself a new Logitech G15 Keyboard with the snazzy LCD (oops, wrote LED at first, sorry) screen and all. I was a little worried at first that the extra macro keys down the left of the keyboard would throw me off, but they've been easy to get used to. In fact, what may be hard to get used to is working on keyboards without them, as I have already programmed a couple of useful macros. My only quibble is that the fold-out legs to tilt the keyboard don't tilt it very much, and they are sort of flimsy to boot. I think tilting is bad ergonomics, and it's almost like they are trying to discourage it. All in all, probably the best keyboard I've owned (with the possible exception of the old feature-free 20 lb IBM clicky-key models).
