If money is no object, then yes.
Otherwise no, you're just throwing cash out.

IDK, maybe you can find a use for this.  I've never really thought of anything terribly important where you can benefit from this.
You can always use PSPdisp if you don't move your PSP that often.

Quote:2. User-Selectable Character Backlighting Colour

Back lit keys are fairly useless if you can touch type IMO - in fact, I'd find them a bit distracting if I'm in a dark room with only the monitor on (I generally don't do that, I generally leave some ambient room light on).

Most cheaper keyboards have additional "media" keys.  These can be software overridden to perform custom actions.  Probably not as convenient and won't be as many, but may be suffice for your needs.

USB hubs are cheap as.

Can be disabled via software.

I think most keyboards do around 3-5 keys at the same time - this one guarantees 5, but I don't really see it being used much.
Only thing I can think of is if you're doing 2 player off the same keyboard, but in all seriousness, you could just use 2 keyboards instead...

Exactly what I've been thinking ~_~

Hmm, certainly no need for 12 that's for sure..

Years ago I used to play custom Pacman games I done with Game Maker with my sister. Massive levels with different challenges and stuff - I wondered why responsiveness for both players didn't work sometimes (Dell Generic Keyboard) but I found out soon after.

Nevertheless the only game wee play together on PC now is Audiosurf, me using Mouse and her using Keyboard so there's no need anyway~!

G15 is like half the price and has most of G19's features anyway.  In fact, I might have gotten one if it were a bit cheaper.
^ Was buying a keyboard today because parents' one died.  Just a simple Microsoft Curvy thing for $21.

I should correct myself in that overriding media keys isn't really the same as a macro key - some games might not recognise them; they're better for stuff like launching apps etc.  You can also use key combos if you need more...

G110 is half price, and by the looks of things that's just because it doesn't have a screen v.v

Lol, G15 is AU$10 more than a G110 here.  On Amazon, it's like 14 pounds.  double you tee eff.
Or get it used: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing...ition=used

G15 has a screen, but not as nice as the G19.
But G19's screen cannot be compared with PSP's =P
