I spilled beer over my G15 last week and dug this keyboard out again. Granted, it does not look as sleek as the G15, but it has more to offer. Two additional rows of 12 keys each are found above the F-keys, and these keys are programmable in 10 layers. An LED display shows the number of the layer you are currently on. You can program the keyboard on the fly, or use software to load/modify/save the configuration, even for PS/2 models. This is a keyboard made for professional use, it is sturdy and very well made.
I use the core area of the keyboard and the number keys row for normal wow play on the primary char, with the exception of the left most key in the number row that has the 'heal tank' button for the priest. The F-key row is my DPS, and the programmable keys are for everything else, targetted healing, CCs and all the other stuff we need =]
Besides my ancient 8308, Cherry also offers gaming keyboard and matrix keyboards, but I have no personal experience with these. I am just including two snapshots for those who want to take a glance:
