Currently I'm a happy logitech G11 keyboard user. I also have a G13 gamepad. I'm a big fan of the 3x 6 G-keys on the G11. The G13 is only used for moving slaves (joystick) and some less important keybinds. Anyway ...

I feel that I need to replace my current one as some buttons are past due date. What I don't like about the G11 is the small buttons compared to a 'normal' keyboard. Also the new logitech G19 has only 3x4 G keys.

So what I'm basically looking for is a keyboard with big/normal buttons, that has 18+ programmable buttons, preferably to the left. If the keyboard has a 'soft' touch' (microsoft used to have such keyboards) that's even a bigger win. The less noise the better.

Anyone has anything to recommend or is logitech pretty much the only player?
