Its a really good price, my current keyboard kinda sucks and I dunno if you can apply macro keys to actions and stuff in photoshop?

Is the G15 good?

You can customise keyboard shortcuts for actions in Photoshop, so you don't need programmable macro keys. (Even if you did, you can use the free AutoHotKey program to do this with any keyboard). The G15 is just a cheap keyboard in a fancy case, and with some unnecessary features, that takes up a lot of room on your desk :)

It's not related to graphics use, but if you want to find out about good keyboards have a read through the wiki and forums HERE (external link). They're a complete bunch of geeks, in case you hadn't guessed :)

Haha wish I had read those forums. I ordered the G15 anyway, it was only $43 shipped. Worst case I'll sell it in CL.

I guess at $43, it's OK value (if you have the desk space) :)

$43 isn't bad, but as gcogger pointed out, you can customize shortcuts in Photoshop. I think, given how much I type everyday, that a mechanical keyboard is a much better investment.
