do you get the mad catz or cyborg version? Also, do the keys light up and (if so) are you able to choose the color?

Hi, the box I received has the Mad Catz Logo on it but I did not think there was a difference between the models, just the branding. Also, yes the Key's do light up and yes you make them any color you like however it is one color for all keys (ie. you can not change the color of individual Keys of zones)

Hi, I don't know what version it is, I think it may be the cyborg version and yes the keys do light up and yes you can choose the colour

I had the Mad Catz version, and it was the biggest piece of crap I have ever bought. DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY ON THIS.

Yes I got the Madcatz version and you can change the lights to what ever colour and how bright you want them.

I got the mad catz and to this day I regret it. Never was able to get the drivers working even after 2 hours on the phone with their customer service. Yes it's backlit, and I honestly can't recall if you can change the colors.

Just buy a Deck Legend. It's a bit more pricey but you get an absolutely insanely good keyboard and as the box says, "the last keyboard you'll ever own". After owning it for a few months now I could not agree with that boast more.

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.

The mouse being compatible with the keyboard makes no sense. They have nothing to do with each other. As to your question about the lights for caps.. It still functions like a normal keyboard would. It's just split down the middle.

I have the original G15 and I hope it never breaks since the change was pretty drastic. The color orange is good since when I have a lot of white on my monitor the keys are barely readable since the reflection from the monitor makes my blue keys hard to see. I currently use 14 of the keys, most with shortcuts to programs. I memorize where they are and I have one button access to them. The fewer keys now means that I will now I have to use the M button to toggle and then select. This adds another step, but I guess it's fine since I only use 14 of the 54 keys provided. I rarely use them in-game.

It's all or nothingThe software is downloaded from the logitech site and you can choose any shade of color you wantThe keys are not individually colored, it's the whole keyboard and display or nothing, I still find it pretty cool.WASD keys are light gray as are the arrow keys.

YIKES! I planned to get some color...only for the fun. I'll have to go in person and check the keyboards (black VS color). Thanks for this good info.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

Not an expert on keyboards so I'm not entirely sure, but i don't believe it is. a quick google search told me no.As for the color you get an entire color wheel in the software, letting you choose whatever color you like. I have mine set to a tron-like blue/cyan

Also, if anyone knows which "keyboards" you can use on this, i.e. can you get German characters, or those from any other language for that matter?? Or is there something available for download? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey George! The keyboard has two usb's, one is for the lighting and the other is for keyboard functions. You can unplug one of the usb cord's to just use the keyboard, the software is so you can customize your hotkeys and colors!

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

they're actually all the same. it's just the matter of what types of switch (blue,brown, black for cherry). If you don't mind the noise, then blue is the loudest. In my opinion all are the same, so look at your budget and just buy the cheapest in the ones you list. They're all good keyboards.Or you can buy the Razer Blackwidow for $80. It's pretty good deal for a mechanical keyboard and it's pretty new, came out in September or October i forget.

Yeah, it's good. It takes 2 usb ports, and you have to use their software program. You can't change colors before getting the program. That is where you change the colors. I would have liked it on the actual keyboard. The emblem is much brighter than the keys.

Hello, the keypad is not lit up. It does have small Green and Red indicator lights that tell you if you entered a correct/incorrect code or if it read your finger scan. TOn a side note, I've had mine for close to a year and it still works like a charm. I've been very happy.

Yes mine has the Blue backlighted keys,I have the one with the MX Cherry blue Switches,I believe most of their models do. Unfortunately a Wrist Rest doesn't come with it. You may have to get an aftermarket rest like I will have to. Luckily they are not too expensive for a decent one. Other than works great so far
