G15 or X-keys?

[geoffdavison]

I currently have a G15 keyboard and just started the UI mod for it which seems to work great..

was debating on picking up and X-keys board also but was wondering if i would need it or would it be overkill?

I use both, had the G15 for a few years and just got the X-keys because I needed more keys ;)

Probably depends how you multibox, how many different classes you bring along at once and how many spells you need to map keys to or if you prefer 1-button solutions with castsequence macros.

I just got my X-keys pro last week and it is great, still getting used to the layout...I would recommend it over the G15 (which I also have) mainly because they no longer make the original G15, the v2 is a POS. I tried one, the screen doesn't move, the colors on the screen are orange and dark orange (not black like the picture), most of the "G-keys" are gone. I had gotten 2 v2G15 keyboards, one for me and one for my wife and one of them had a faulty W key which would stop repeating when being held down. It went back to the store. The second one ended up going to my stepson and so far the keys seem to work properly but when this original G15 gives out I'm going smaller and probably non Logitech.

So if you have the original 18-key G15 and get used to the G-keys if it dies on you you'll be relearning where your keys are.

Also, I really like the feel of the X-keys pro, the keys feel like they are going to last a long time.

G11/G15 originals with 18 keys are the best thing ever if you want to run two clients on one computer, but it is kind of limited because of the keystroke limitation, and you will run out of keys. X-Keys will help you healbot and control alts much easier - I've iced my healbot project until I get an X-Keys or an alternative, and a second computer.

Currently the bottom segment of keys on my G11 control movement of my second client, allowing me to perfectly duablox Gruul, Void Reaver, etc. It's everything you need for 2-3 clients on one machine.
