Overall good purchase

 

Being able to nullify the windows key is nice and being able to turn the lights on low high or off is cool. Different macro setups and software are all pretty good

Can not change color and it says CoD. The function keys are far away compared to my old keyboard and i do use them for some MMOs. Does not get me a Girlfriend

G15 without an LCD

 

Really, if you are looking for a gaming quality keyboard without the $100+ price tag, this is it. It's a great keyboard.

So, my old G15's keys were starting to wear through, so I figured I'd give this one a shot since it looked so similar, just without an LCD. In all honesty, I never used the LCD on my G15 (and I've had an LCD G15 for 5+ years) ; This keyboard has 6...

Just the stupid MW3 Logo, which I knew was there going in. I might have to lightly sand it and repaint that section. I like the all black look :)

Excellent.

 

Overall, excellent keyboard, much better then my old one.

Loving the keyboard, simple and straight forward, nothing more to know. You plug it in and start going at it

The delivery took longer then expected, not worth taking an egg off though

Great bang for your buck

 

If backlighting is a priority and you don't want to drop $75+ on a keyboard, then suck it up and find a sticker to put over the silly CoD logo. Build quality is good for a keyboard--not "premium," but nothing to complain about IMO. Keypresses give good...

Illuminated, easy to program macro keys, cheap, neither huge nor tiny

Call of Doody branding

Looks great

 

The led's have three settings. The keys are responsive and it looks great. I really like the sound keys at the top, they're labeled. Just have to use the fn key with them. Simple way of not taking up a bunch of space

I have no real cons except that I would have personally liked it without the macro keys on the side. I always could actually use them but I don't like adding me keys. Whenever I attempt to hit ctrl, I it the G6 macro key

Nice keyboard.

 

Nice green backlight ; Keys have a nice touch to them ; Only costs $45 ; Programmable 'G' keys ; Free shipping

They shouldn't have put the logo for one of the worst games ever made on such a nice keyboard. I'll probably just end up painting over it. But I knew that all along so I can't really deduct an egg for that

Could be better.

 

Good keyboard for the price I paid. If you're looking for other green LED keyboards, here's a list of a few: G19, G510, BWU 2013, saitek cyborg, and some of the Ducky Shine II series. But all of those are quite costly.

Green LEDs ; Keys don't attract fingerprints ; Feels nice to press the key

Keys with longer symbols or with words, such as the enter and back space button, aren't fully lit up ; Not all keys have LED backlighting ; LED's aren't very bright ; Keyboard is rather low/flat, even with the tilt legs propped up

Logitech G105

 

I'm not even sure what the M keys do, I'm assuming they're macros that can be assigned to whatever..but then I'm not sure what the G keys are for. I don't really need them so I haven't looked into it much.

Backlighting is awesome, love the feel of the keys. Gray/silver WASD and arrow keys don't bother me ; Haven't bothered changing the macro keys to anything

I hit the G1/G2 keys about half the time I'm trying to hit Escape key. So not the greatest placement

Working good

 

Adjustable led backlit keyboard ( 3 ways)

Great price on sale, excellent feel

 

Got mine on sale for around $40. When comparing price and quality across the market, it was almost an instant buy. I can look past the branding.

Sleek design and doesn't feel entirely cheap (but lets be honest, Logitech has went down in quality over the last few years). For this exception, if you can look past the MW3 branding, its a solid keyboard. The green back lighting is nice and I get a...

Some of the number keys are a little hard to read. Some of the symbols above the number keys are also hard to read. Generally I dont need to look to type, but in the off chances that I do, thats my only complaint and even then I feel thats nit picky
