Yeah, I've been trying to decide between that one and the Razor keyboards. I'm a gadget loving freak, so the little screen is drawing me like a moth to a buglight, but I also like the clean look of the Tarantula...

I like my Lycosa, the only problem i have with it is that its rubber coated. While good and looks cool, and it feels good on the fingers... human skin has oil on it. After a few weeks your keys and such have that 'wet' spot look to it as the oil has stained the rubber.
 
I really like the lighted keys though, its awesome.

I just use the Saitek Eclipse II... no special features except for the fact that it has backlit keys.  I don't need any of the "gaming" features.

Heheh, I'm big into gadgets too! I'm trying to decide between the G15, the Microsoft Reclusa, and the Eclipse II. Down side to the G15 is orange lighting... Confused, while the Reclusa is said to have poor macro capabilities, and the Eclipse II lacks a USB extension port and macro keys. The Eclipse II can change lighting colors tho... Embarrassed

The G15 is a great keyboard, I have used them for a couple of years now, both of my PCs have one at this point.

The software is good and the LCD display works with alot of titles out of the box (Conan, Hellgate, World of Warcraft, hell even Ventrilo supports it)

I would not give up my g15 at this point, I love that keyboard.

On the mouse side, whatever you do dont get a G5 mouse from Logitech, I thought it felt nice in the store after a few seconds grip, but after play hours and hours with it, the grip is just it gives me a weird feeling..it gives me goosebumps, like when somebody scrapes their hands on a chalkboard.....ya one of those feelings...everytime i touch it! My fingers tingle afterwards too....I think its emitting radiation...

I have the G15 keyboard as well and have no complaints.  Actually, with the "blood red" set up from DSO (liquid cooling), lights the "orange" color of the keyboard matches up pretty well.

I think you're a dork.  I've had a G5 for awhile now and it's a great mouse.  I think you're choking your chicken too much and lost your touch for the mouse.

LOL

You're using too much Viagra.  All the blood from your fingertips is running downhill to the chicken.  Must stop the funky chicken dance and start dating again.  Will see good results with mouse again once dating ensues.
