If you have anything that could help just post it. It would be much apreciated :D

Whatever you do, do not purchase any Logitech Bluetooth products. They are shit, have been since their release, and they seem either unwilling or unable to fix them. I curse the day I spent good money on my MX5000, to this day it still works inconsistently, if at all. And the replacement Bluetooth dongle they sent me doesn't even fucking work.

I believe the wow keyboard he's talking about is one of the Z-Board things... they aren't that great really.

I was thinking about getting one of those for Lodi, but is it really worth twice the price of a normal keyboard? The extra G-keys seem very nice and seems like it would be very useful once I break his capslock key.

Wixx posted a screenshot of the ventrilo overlay of some sort, or something ... basically the name of the person talking on vent. I'm sure it does other things, but that alone would be really neat. :)

I've seen wow ui mods that take advantage of all the new G-keys, although it's not entirely clear why you'd need a mod for this. I'd assume they're just expanding the basic keybindings window thingie, or it allows you to display something interesting in the LCD, like, uh ... target of target's target?

I have that keyboard actually, but without the WoW insert (I have the EQ2 one that I got for free at the fan faire). The extra hot keys on the side are pointless since you already have hot keys set up. I took the EQ2 insert out of mine and just use the regular keyboard inlay. It has a few extra features (volume control, a few macro keys, 2 USB ports), but I never use them and it's nothing I would spend extra money over a vanilla keyboard.

The G15 looks hot with it's LCD display and everything it shows. Some day when I do a complete new overhaul of my system (beginning 07 I think) I may look into upgrading keyboards, but quite frankly, what I have now gets the job done so what's the point.

The G15 board is probably one of the best boards I've seen come out. If you want hot key funtionality then just get a Belkin - Nostromo Speedpad (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6184764&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01063&id=1067389784805) to go along with it. I use a cordless MX Laser Mouse from Logitech but my main bitch with it is the chargeing contacts tend to get dirty while moveing it and you have to clean them to get it to charge in the cradel. Other than that its a great mouse.

I like Newegg, but they disappoint with their shipping pricing. Amazon sells the MX518 for cheaper, no tax, and free shipping! :) They also sell the other two items you're looking at, but through a partner, so you can't get them with free shipping but sometimes you can go direct to them and see if they have an offer of their own.

There's no sales tax at Newegg if you live outside of California, Tennessee and New Jersey (and apparently Puerto Rico).

Yea, big wins there. If you aren't incredibly picky you can get the item of the week that has free shipping, also. Or you can wait until it's up for free shipping..

I'm enjoying this N52. It's so much in a mouse though that being effecient takes a bit of time. I'm actually doing worse on the meters due to not having my keys down yet :(

The walk key hit on my goblin aoe was awesome ><
