G15 is over R650 , thats way over my budget for the month, compared to R250 for the zboard + its the BF2142 keys.

You have to buy a set of keys for each game you play though....

I've also got the 21e. It's a great keyboard and only cost me R120 rand. I'm not convinced that a R600 keyboard is that much better.

I'm sure it is great, but is it 5 times better at 5 times the price?

the only difference between the 21e and the 19e is on the side that little scroll wheel and the excel and word shortcuts

as a keyboard the G15 beats everything. I like the look of that wolf thing.

the G15 as a office tool cannot be beaten. the keys are responsive, they feel great and they never miss a beat.

A full sized keyboard with loads of extras. this keyboard is not just for gaming. the macro keys can be used for short cuts in photo manipulation, CAD, audio editing. the integrated media keys make for a seemless work station that affords the worker the ability to adapt his listening expereince without having to fiddle with windows and other programs.
