    "Tiltable, color GamePanel™ LCD: The (320x240) display shows unprecedented levels of information—both in- and out-of-game—including game stats, system information, VOIP communication data, video playback, image slideshows, and many other items."


    You could program any regular keyboard to ignore the Windows key. You can program the numpad keys to perform macros instead of the G keys.

    I don't understand why people would want to see such information on a tiny screen when it's all available on the monitor.
    Apart from the bling I don't see anything useful here, as with the previous G keyboards.

    I have the G15 v2. I love having the info (Date/Time, CPU/GPU/NB temp, voltage, clock speed, etc..) on the LCD when I am not playing a game.

    I find that while running around shooting people in CoD:WaW, it's detrimental to look down at the LCD just to check my K/D and how many bullets I have left since I'm usually dead by the time I look up again.

    G keyboards are nice, but $200 is outrageously hell no for me.

    I have an enermax caesar and saitek 1 and 2, and I prefer all of those over the G15's feel, plus the mini-monitor costs are atrocious. Pass.

    Usually in-game I don't have access to time/date which is sometimes helpful. But the the only thing I use the most is the VOIP display so I know who is talking. Other than that, I dont really look at the mini screen. I own the G15v2 now and use to have the Saitek 2, and between the two I preferred the G15. Quieter keys, and the paint isn't rubbing off - plus I can plug a USB mouse into the keyboard without having to run an extra cable to the computer which makes things a bit neater back there. But to pay almost 3x the cost for the next gen G19 is ludicrous.
