It's actually a dome-switch keyboard. Membrane keyboards are different.

I and many others must have a superb one then as I've had my G15 for several years without a single problem. Try not beating your keyboard with a hammer. That should increase its lifespan.

It uses a rubber membrane. I don't like mine at all and the left arrow needs to be pressed down hard for it to register.

Yeah... Thats just the response I got when I said my G11 broke after a while on another forum. But hey, keyboards do break on normal use also Meaning, I didn't smash my keyboard to the edge of my table or hit it with a hammer

I'm going on 3 years with my G15 and I still love it. Not sure if I'd get the v2 if my v1 died, or a G19. I hate the G19 price but I'd be willing to try it if it's mechanical, which I thought I heard it was somewhere.

As far as I know, the G19 is not mechanical.

And the Model M (the "classic" mechanical keyboard) can survive being hit with a hammer. Repeatedly.

I've typed on many rubber dome keyboards, including a Microsoft Ergonomic something, Saitek Eclipse II, HP multimedia keyboard, some eMachines POS, dozens of laptop keyboards and school keyboards...

I've typed on two mechanical keyboards (this Model M, and one unidentified one that I used for five minutes at the bank), and I'd pick either of them over any rubber dome keyboard I've used in an instant.



And for the record, no keyboard made by Logitech or Razer is mechanical.
