G15! I love it to death, and the LCD panel is so great! I have RivaTuner throw all the info onto it, and it's really sweet! You can also make your own apps for it with LCDStudio.

I vote G15!

another vote for the g15. At first i didnt use the lcd, but there are a bunch of apps at http://www.g15mods.com/forum/ to add a ton of functionality to your keyboard. You can view stuff from vent/ts, coretemp, cpu/ram usage, etc. Plus the macro keys are great for basically adding more 1 press functions to other games. Like when i used to play wow, i would bind something like, Ctrl+shift+Q to the G1 button. I could then bind a quickbar button to G1 and hit it every time.. Very nice keyboard

but you have to think to yourself.. is having an LCD screen on your keyboard? I know i wouldn't want to look down in the middle of a CoD4 match to see my score... just pushing tab is much easier!

I'd say the G15, I own a Tarantula, and like it better, but it doesn't have lit-up keys, and I heard the LCD is a little nice. However, is you like style, I'd say tarantula, for practicality, a G15.

The Tarantula has a port on the front for an LCD display. It also can hold a blu LED lamp that glows on the keyboard. It's solidly built as well.

That said I've owned the G15 and I liked it.

Now I bought a Reclussa and I will tell you I will never use anything but Razer now.
