Well for the 200 you spend on the g19 you can actually get say the g11 (same amount of keys as the old g15). Then say with the 130 you save you could get something like xkey foot pedals. I can almost guarantee you will use the peddles way more than the lcd.Quote:

G11 = 18 G-keys (no LCD)
G15 v1 = 18 G-keys + mono LCD
G15 v2 = 6 G-keys + mono LCD
G19 = 12 G-keys + color LCD
The LCD is pretty much useless, although it can be handy for secondary information display. I have a G15 v1, have had it for a couple years at least, and I have never used the LCD, but I make good use of the G-keys (a couple examples -- labelled pictures -- of my G15 layouts: http://www.lavishsoft.com/wiki/index...h_G15_Keyboard ).
If I were choosing between those 4 keyboards to purchase one today, I would get the G11. The others have inflated cost because of the useless LCD, and then they gimp the number of buttons.
So I concur, G11 and if you need more controls, add devices from there (x-keys, n52, whatever). Foot pedal is a pretty good idea since it requires no hand movement BUT is pretty expensive for only having 3 buttons.
I had the only G15, version 1, with 18 G-keys. I thought it was a great keyboard, and used it for everything. About a month or so ago, the spacebar and some other keys started to lose quite a bit of their action. I think I may have had that keyboard for 3 years or possibly longer, and it saw some very hard use, so I got my money out of it.
The new G11 is basically the same exact thing, feels the same, and works exactly the same as my old keyboard. It has 18 G-keys like my original G15. It does not have the LCD which I never used.
I had to order the G11 online, I've never seen one in one a store shelf in my area. It's a great piece of equipment, and I would probably pay even more than I have to for it.
I have G15 v1 and G13. But I order a DX1 Ergodex because I need more keys more accessible for my hands.
I think to use the DX1 for movements and spells because he have 50 keys available. So, I can bind all my spells, movements, heals macro (6 for lesser heal, 6 for heal wave).
I order the DX1 today, I speak later about this keyboard and pictures :)
