I have use the original g15 and g11 Logitech keyboard , so that be what I will be compare this keyboard to . obviously the keyboard do not have a lcd display but I find run two monitor that I rarely use that feature on the Logitech G15 keyboard anyway . the letter wear off by Logitech keyboard after a little under two year use . I have one replace and buy spare , but I finally run out . I decide to try a different keyboard manufacturer to see if the keyboard key would last longer under heavy use . it be obviously too soon to tell how the key on this keyboard will live up over a year or more time , but they at least give you spare key cap for the w a s and d -lrb- and arrow -rrb- key . the keyboard cable be fully detachable which will make it much easier move this keyboard from place to place . it be also cover with a braided cover which should help protect the wire within . the keyboard also come with a cloth bag to transport it in . the wrist rest on this keyboard be not detachable unlike with Logitech keyboard , but I find the gradual angle of the wrist rest do not impede I in any way . the keyboard have two usb 2.0 port on it , but they be only 100 miliamp power so they may not drive hi power drain device . the Logitech keyboard do not have usb 2.0 port on they so I be not really complain about this much . I would rather have usb 2.0 port that be not full power than only have usb 1.0 or 1.1 option . the media key be located above the number pad and arrow key as oppose to the top center of the keyboard . this be just a placement difference and in no way affect functionality . this keyboard have 10 macro key and four profile for a total of 40 potential macro . the key be located at each side of the keyboard with five key per side . I find this configuration take a little time to get use to but I think I like it now . the key on the right side of the keyboard easily hit by you mouse hand , of the key on the left-hand side of the keyboard the bottom three be easily hit with my pinky without move my hand from the w a s d key . the key be located slightly in from the side of the keyboard , enough so that you will not hit they by accident when move the keyboard or by bump the key on the side with the mouse hand unintentionally . the macro software could use better documentation however , I have not find a way to display the delay between keystroke yet use the software . however the macro I record seem to work well regardless . a couple thing I learn which might help other people program macro on this keyboard . first I find that after program macro you still have to select the macro profile with the keyboard itself , it do not default to any of the profile be on . second I find that my macro be enter into the game I be play much more reliably if I change the key press time to .1 second from .0 seconds . I have not yet go to the forum to see if they can explain the macro software better than the supply documentation and website . I do like the fact that the macro can be store on the internal memory of the keyboard itself -lrb- and must be for they to work -rrb- , which mean if I move this keyboard to another computer my macro will be with I without I have to reprogram they . you can of course also save the macro to you computer hard drive as well . the fan be small and do not move much air but I can feel it on my hand . it can be place in a power socket on either side of the keyboard , and rotate a full 360  . the positioning of the power outlet will allow you to place the fan where it easily cover you w a s d key or you number pad . the fan be not quite as gimmicky as I expect though I do not think I will use it on a regular basis live a house with cat . there be a slot on the back of the keyboard to store the fan when not in use . the backlighting on the keyboard seem perfectly acceptable to use in the dark and have three intensity setting not count off . the Thermaltake logo on the front of the keyboard can be turn off entirely in the software regardless of the backlighting option you have choose for the rest of the keyboard , which I find a nice feature . it would be nice to have other backlight color option other than red , but I know red be the only option on this keyboard at the time purchase and be not hold that against they . overall I be please with the purchase and will seriously consider get one for my wife when she current g11 keyboard wear out . I have use thermaltake product in the past and be happy with they , so I feel willing to take a risk with they keyboard offering . I have only own this keyboard for three day so far , so I will update this review later if my opinion change or if it appear not to be as durable as I currently expect it to be . \*\*\* Update 1\/3\/2012 \*\*\* the w a s d key do finally wear off a month or so ago -lrb- though I admittedly be use the stock black one not the red gaming one that it come with to swap out -rrb- . I switch to the red gaming key cap the keyboard come with and they be still hold up fine . all the other key still look new with no visible wear on they . I never use the fan other than to verify functionality of it . overall I be still happy with the keyboard performance so far . I will update in the future if and when the red gaming key wear out .
