Keyboards

[Tippo]

My g15 "a" and "z" buttons are acting very strange. Anytime I press "a" I get an "az" result. Same goes with pressing "z". I've tried to clean it out multiple times with compressed air and also made sure there nothing in there that could cause this problem. So I am thinking it's an issue with a circuit but I am open to suggestions.

Anyways the main reasons I am posting here is I am pretty sure I am going to need to buy a new keyboard before I go nuts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I really like how this keyboard has the lighting underneath the keys. Cool effect and great for gaming in the dark. The keys feel swell too.

Have you tried to remove the cover on the keyboard and look for anything that may be bridging the A and Z keys?

Second, the G15 is the best gaming keyboard if you ask me. I tried others too, when my dog bit through my wire from my old one...ended up getting another one.

Outside of that, if I were to buy a gaming Keyboard and I wasn't going to get a G15...I would get the Ideazon Merc Stealth keyboard.

It has an ergonomic game configuration on the left side, they produce profiles that configure it automatically for specific games, and its pretty easy to edit/tweak your own profiles.

Good keyboard at a reasonable price.

Purchased a Merc Stealth a while back. I now own a G15. Macro software sucks for the Merc Stealth. The left have keypad also seemed to have a bit of a latency issue. Personal opinion.

I am leaning towards buying a g2 g15 keyboard right now.

Scanning through my RSS feed today, I came across this post from Lifehacker. Maybe this list will help you out if you haven't already made a decision.

My saitek back-lit keyboard went tits up for no reason...I think it was a model 1, but just to let you know...had it maybe 2 years.
