USB Gaming keyboards

[Duce]

While this isn't specific Amiga hardware, thought I'd share my experiences.  It's a USB keyboard, so usable on anything with a USB port.  Works great on my SAM 440, so I guess it is remotely Amiga related, heh.

Been using it on my PC and SAM for a week or two now, and it's one of the best keyboards feel wise I've ever used.  For many years I've used the Logitech G-15 and G-19 models, but this keyboard is likely going to become my daily driver.

If you like mechanical/Cherry type keyboards and can put a USB keyboard to use, consider this one.  While it is expensive at $100, in comparison to other high end USB gaming keyboards, it's fairly reasonable - the G 19 keyboard is $200+, but admittedly the G 19 has a real nice full color LCD.

It's just super for gaming, and a sheer joy for general computing.  I forgot how nice mechanical switch keyboards were to use.  Been a long time since an input device has impressed me this much.

I'm very happy with my Logitech G 19 keyboard - if you are an avid gamer, the LCD is real nice - but at $200+, she isn't cheap.  The fact it has an AC plug on it is a bit of a PITA as well.

I've found the overall quality of "high end" Logitech input devices to have gone downhill in recent years.  The first G series keyboard I got still works fine - WASD keys have the letters worn off, but functionally is like new.  My first G 5 mouse was great, but I am finding myself buying a new G9 each year on other machines because they develop dead spots on the newer built ones.  Not something desirable on a $100+ mouse.

My G 19 is a couple years old, and getting extremely bagged out, but I play WoW (mainly BG's) and the LCD display is just super for that.
