I'm not sure if I would use the macros beings I mainly use my pc for gaming. What are some of the common things people use them for? I can't think of any off the top of my head that I would need to have them for, but it may come in handy sometime.

I know they are all decent boards so I just want to be able to get the most for my money. I will probably stop down at Best Buy tonight, beings they have most of these boards out to see how they feel (plus they are on sale). I guess whatever one I choose will probably not be a bad one, right?

alot of people will actuall set them up for gamming.

Got any examples of what people use the macros for in gaming. I know people will use the macros for their usernames and passwords and stuff like that, but I really can't think of any gaming functions off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are some.

I still can't decide if I need the LCD or just want it cause its cool. But don't know if it is really worth the extra money. I might be leaning towards the Eclipse II, Lycosa or G11 right now though.

Well, I have purchased the Razer Lycosa, but.....

My fist impressions are that it looks awsome. Using they keyboard is going to take a little getting used to with the low profile keys though. Not sure if I can get used to that or not.

The lighting on they keys is not bad even in a lit room like some people have said, but the letters do get a little distorted when viewed at an angle, but not that bad. The color and brightness of the blue lights does take some getting used to on the eyes though. I have had the keyboard lights turn off on me once. Also, the touch panel at the top could be lit up a little better. I don't know if it is the brightness of the blue lights or just me getting used to the lights on a keyboard, but when looking at the screen, you get the illusion that the keyboard lights flicker sometimes out of your periferal vision even though they are not.

Another note is that the keyboard is a little louder than I thought it would be, but it could be worse. The rubber coating on the keys feels ok, but is not anything special to me. The rubber coating on my DeathAdder mouse makes more of a difference to me than on the keyboard.

It seems to be a great keyborad, but I'm not sure yet if I can get used to the low profile keys. I am going to give this board a few days to see if I can get used to it (at least one night of good gaming). If not, I am going to get the G15.
