This might be a dumb question, but what is "anti-ghosting technology"?
I used to enjoy overloading the keyboard buffer with an accidental keyboard smush during an intense deathmatch... taptaptapBEEP.

Yes, because need to press 26 keys at the same time using all 10 of my fingers while playing some l33t game
TWENTY SIX KEYS ?!!?
Wow, i can finally play left4dead with an entire team, and only need one keyboard.
If only we could have 4 independent mice now..
Its just something in "decent" keyboards, that means you can press more than 3 keys at a time, without your computer (no matter how powerful) spazzing out, because you have filled the keyboards send buffer, as Steve said above.Originally Posted by mikemikemi
Crouch walking diagonally while reloading (q + c + (a or d) + r) for example, in counter strike, or maybe in a driving game, accelerating, while turning into a handbrake turn
I'm sorry, but I don't have enough digits to press 26 keys at once.
...and more to the point, I can't think of any circumstance where I'd need to, not even playing an all singing, all dancing flight sim.
Neat... but ultimately pointless.

Technically, you actually could.
1+2+q+w, 3+4+e+r, 5+6+t+y, etc. etc.

I must have read/seen wrong. Price tag of $59.99 (excl taxes obv), nice features, red illuminated glow...
That's everything I could ask for? (Ok, well I prefer a free keyboard) Can't wait till this comes out, gonna buy it straight away
Well, better to make it support 26 now, then do 10 and have people still comlain
Looks good, as does the price!
Just wish it didn't have the keys down the left hand side......that was one feature that meant I wasn't very gutted when I spilled a drink on my G15

Any idea if this has a USB hub built in? If I change my keyboard, I'd quite like a keyboard that does.
I'm sure you'd only get complaints from angry german kid.Well, better to make it support 26 now, then do 10 and have people still comlain
Looks OK but find it odd using (what looks like) laptop keys or thin buttons, I prefer the thicker buttons on the G15 or G19...
Also I don't rate the quality of some Microsoft "Gaming" keyboards, like the nob on the Reclusa just felt loose & the space bar made a plastic cheap noise when pressed...
All you needed to do was set the Logitech profiler up to stop G5 key acting as F5. But you love it when it refreshed the web page after writing loads (LOL) !Well, better to make it support 26 now, then do 10 and have people still comlain

G15 is riddled with problems, wish I had never brought mine. The G key are soo in the wrong place, keep pressing them in error. The escape key in the wrong position, only by 5mm but its a pain. The screen serves little purpose other than to load dodgy drivers onto your system. Very over rated keyboard.

I need that... I regularly press 10 keys at once with both hands and then headbutt the others.
Suppose I'll have to wait for the v3 to be able to press 30?
It's 4.98*
