At least my G11 works, and it's based on the G15V1.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

An important factor in gaming keyboards is how many keys you can press without responding oddly. Gaming keyboards such as the Logitech G series often have the so-called n-key advertised (it's 6 on them), but on most keyboards, frankly, this number is unknown.

There is no test to determine the real n-key on most keyboards, as the number often differs between areas on it. There is, however, a standardized test to measure how "good" it is at handling multiple keypresses.

What you do, is to type out "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" (Without quotes), with both Shift keys pressed. The ideal keyboard ends up with the phrase perfectly written out in capital letters, whilst cheaper keyboards end up with, well, mixed results. Here is the result of the keyboard on my HP Compaq nx9420 laptop:

Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000

Seemed to work pretty good, but sadly the x didn't work. When i'm playin bf2 i cant seem to open the map while running around (Shift key is run, map is caps lock, while pressing W...) Oh well...

Im seriously thinking about buying Microsoft's Sidewinder X6 gaming board though, looks pretty sweet

More evidence that that G15 is vastly superior to all other keyboards, including the V2 which should not even be allowed to bear the sacred name.

Although my keyboard doesn't do this flawlessly, doesn't mean its shit for games. I have gamed for 6 years with this particular keyboard model, and not once have I had issue with not all keys being working same time no matter how crazy ass situation... so if you use this to justify the fact you spent 5 times more in a keyboard vs mine, I laugh my ass off...

HE QUIC BROWN OX UMP OVER HE Z OG

:pretty cheap generic microsoft keyboard.

I used to have one specifically for this when I used to play flight sims with no control sick. Sometimes pressing the left\right and up\down keys would only result in a climb or dive so I had to get a good one. But that was years ago now.
