What's different from normal keyboard to gaming keyboard?

[kurosagi01]

the G15 is quite out of my expenditure i would spend on a keyboard lol i am considering arctosa silver edition because it match my case or maybe get a G11 which cost an extra £5

you will find people who game 15-25 hours and scrim 5 times a week complaining about the paint coming off. supposably Logitech has changed paint formulas in newer models but paint is paint.

I've got 3 G15's and they are used well over 7 hours a day and the one I'm using is about 15 hours a day 7 days a week because I've nothing else to do and the paint is fine. Honestly your just nit picking about features that don't have an impact on its performance.

What ever bro . I love the logitechs not just for key boards but cam's and mice and speakers you seem to have a single minded HATE for them dissing them through out this thread that is your opinion on them and that is fine I am stating facts about them as I have used logitech's products for over 10 years and have yet to see any proof as to your claims is all .

and what do you mean what ever!

i got my g15(i have no problem with logitech at all!) when it was first released and that paint has worn off the keys but the newer revisions dont

so please dont post if you dont know what you talking about and please google, G15 paint keys!

I really can't complain about my current mouse and keyboard, using the Wave, ya not the best but was readily available for relatively cheap. As for mouse I'm using the bundled mouse and don't have any issues at all with either one of em.

not being able to see a translucent key does not impact performance?

Enermax Aurora it's brushed aluminum housing with scissor switches cost $60-75 USD comes in Black or Silver has terrific reviews would give you a little more performance, quieter and look nice next to a Lian Li.

You got it I am going to SHUT UP NOW !

 

[BumbleBee]

trickson you need to accept it these are not opinions these are known facts about the keyboard.

Early models do use a paint that wears out but logitech changed the mixture early on. Only a small batch use that old mixture. About 3% of G15's probably have the old mixture. You won't hear from everyone who's keys are fine only those who's have worn off.

+100000000

Thank you!

i am not meaning to diss anything at all!, all i am just saying is this is what happened to mine, doesn't mean it will happen to newer revisions!

WOW you should also NOTE that I also have stated Facts biased on MY OWN EXPERIENCE !
But again I am supposed to shut up ...

 

[BumbleBee]

your making numbers up. I don't know the exact date they changed the paint but paint is paint and there is no way to tell if you got a old one or new one and I already mentioned this a few posts up.

that is true but atleast they have actualy bothered to rectify the problem! that makes logitech a valued company

 

[DrPepper]

I did make those up it was an estimate but I remember when I got my keyboard early on I did alot of research on the worn out keys and I remember reading an email from logitech support and do you know what they do with keyboards with worn out paint ? they replace them with a whole new keyboard with the new paint.

Proof that logitech replaces the keyboard with old paint within warranty.

Actually, they were replacing them for a long time with keyboard with the same old paint. Happened to me, numerous threads on the net about the problem. Logitech knew there was a problem but didn't fix it for a while.

arctosa looks better imo but the g11 has more functionality with the G key's and the media pad on it.

I really like that arctosa now I've had a good look at it

Now that is a good looking keyboard, will probably be in my future. The only problem with the last scissor switch keyboard I had is that sometimes it would release a key if I didn't have enough pressure on it.
