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.
