Yeah the g15's are getting cheaper. They are very nice keyboards btw, i would highly recommend it if you are willing to stretch your budget.

Looks to be a decent keyboard, but honestly it seems a little expensive for such a simple keyboard. I have to agree with everyone else and say stretch that budget a little, or make some more cash and get a great keyboard that will last.
I noticed that the that keyboard you linked is also called a "Heavy Duty" keyboard, a lot of the time that means the make is a little more durable, and i've noticed that the heavy duty keyboards I've used at landscape centers and construction sites tend to have really tough key presses, which in turn slow down your keystrokes, which isn't good for gaming at all. You might wanna keep looking for a deal if you can't find the extra cash for a gaming keyboard.

so its a no-go.

That one is almost exactly the same as mine and I've never had problems with mine. I've even punched it (very hard!) a few times in massive frustration and it works fine as if nothing happened (except the stands on the back for angling it are gone of course). It doesn't break easily is what I'm trying to say.
But the price is a bit high... I don't know if I would pay for it to be honest.

I've got a G11 keyboard. I didn't care for all the G15 hype and everything about that LCD screen on it.
I just wanted some media function keys, a blue glow, and some customization that I could use (but still haven't) ...
I would say that the keyboard you posted looks DECENT. I've seen the same quality for MUCH less than that though, so I would maybe look into something else if you haven't already. Check eBay, most things that are not advertised as new are still good. Mine wasn't new, but there's nothing wrong with it at all... someone probably just bought it and then changed their mind or something.

how would you do capital letters if this is the case? or a question mark for that matter?
EDIT: you forgot to read the manufacturer's response to that particular review on newegg.
