Can you people do me a favor and look out for some good deals on either the Tarantula or G15.

I'm looking for a price near $65.

lawl mate of mines G15 has been stuck with "YOU HAVE ONE NEW E-MAIL" or something stuck on his screen for the past 2 weeks and it wont go away xD

Either CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the LCDClock.exe process and let it reload on the next restart.

OR

Disable the email notification by double clicking the Logitech Game Panel Manager (bottom right in the taskbar with the gear and the folder), Programs, LCD Clock, Configure, and disable the email icon.

As of now, Circuit City has the best deals on both of these. Tarantula for $70 and G15 for $80. I'll keep an eye out for both.

80 bucks is way too expensive for a keyboard.

Someone's sellling a G15 rev.1 in the Buy/Sell forum here for $60.

MikeJeng · Feb 28, 2008

I want Rev.2 only because it is shorter. I don't have the room.

you could always cut it in half

DanishDevil · Feb 28, 2008

Haha. MikeJeng, keep an eye out on HotDealsClub.com That's how I found out about the deal on my rev.2. Also, subscribe to newsletters galore from places who sell it. It might just end up with a newsletter-only coupon code or something!

MikeJeng · Feb 28, 2008

Ok. I'm just looking for it for under $80.

To each his own. I honestly keep my input devices as updated if not more than my video cards.

Same, learn't awhile ago good keyboard/mice/mouse pads make the difference in game.

MikeJeng · Feb 28, 2008

Mouse pads? Like those $25 ones that look no different from anything else?

Wile E · Feb 28, 2008

I call BS on the mouse pads, but agree with keyboard and mouse. lol. No mousepad is worth $20.

calvary1980 · Feb 28, 2008

I think he means Gaming Surfaces like the Destructor, eXactmat, SteelSeries SP etc.

I can't believe your so hung up on the Tarantula.

and hey a couple years ago I used to purchase multi colored mouse pads in stock! I changed them out every clan match superstitious like hockey players and there laces used to get laughed at did this until Gaming Surfaces came out.

PS, The Gear doesn't make the Gamer.

All this talk about premium keyboards, and here I am happy with my Eclipse. lol. I prefer small keyboards. I actually used an Apple keyboard before this, but the lack of the Print Screen button was making me crazy. lol.

MikeJeng · Feb 28, 2008

I just thought of something.. why do we need backlighting?

If your keyboard is right in front of your monitor won't the light go on it anyway?

calvary1980 · Feb 28, 2008

well yes if your in a light environment like IE or Firefox but when gaming your monitor is probably going to be in a dark environment back lighting takes care of that.

DanishDevil · Feb 28, 2008

Yeah, you'd think you don't need it, but when you're peeking down to make sure you're really on the V key when you're about to knife someone, you'll thank yourself that you got a lighted one.

IMO having light come from JUST the keys is MUCH cleaner, as I owned the Eclipse before. I wouldn't want add-on lighting.

The reason BMWs use orange night guages and Logitech's new G15 is simple. It doesn't mess with your nightvision like a bright blue does. That way, when you're in that dark environment in your game, a peek down at your keyboard doesn't make your eyes readjust to the screen as much.

I use 'f' to knife.

I don't use V either, but I'm sure there are other games you play with keys that aren't exactly muscle-memory ingrained in your fingers.
