Gaming keyboards are much better then traditional keyboards. Gaming keyboards have the keys organized so that players can reach the Shift, Control, Alt, and other keys easily while using the WSAD layout. And as skidude said, some of them have backlights which make them look better and allow for easier gameplay in dark rooms or at night. Some of them also have special keys, which allow you to press a single key and have it do a combination of things, such as buy multiple items on CS.baballin328 said:
Merc Gaming Keybaord for life! 
I love it and im never going back to a normal or other keybaord, love the drivers and customer support and warrenty too I posted a game wasn;t included in the current driver set.(There is the default keyset, then a few hundred games that you can switch between, or just go though a manualy switch the keys yourself if you want) and the next release it included it
I just love the seperate gaming set on the left.

ExtremeTech just wrote an article on the keyboard, and also includes some pictures.

sweet, i already have a Saitek Eclipse and i like the Black/Dark Grey color of my Eclipse rather than that Black/white color that the E2 has....
also, it doesnt look like they added anything really but more backlight colors and the knob at the top right. Hopefully the drivers are better since the Saitek Eclipse can cause problems with some games.

I actually was wondering this myself. I just bought the Logitech G15 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2166,CONTENTID=10717
Now, i bought it for retail price just to try it out. I'm thinking about keeping it (i would find it cheaper on ebay) ...but was wondering how people like the saitek? I love this keyboard so far...the LCD is really cool, and it has a switch that disables the Windows button which is great while in game. I haven't explored the macros too much, but it seems to work for the most part....kinda miss dedicated buttons for calculator and what not.....but you can program it...just hard to remember sometimes.
Anywho....do you think i should go for the g15? or should i give the saitek a try?
