It didnt seem overpriced to me (been using IBM for quite some time now), but anyway its worth it, can you beat someone to a pulp with a G15 ? i think not but you can with a IBM. I think that's how they should do there commercials: "Buy our keyboards, use it for: gaming, writing & the best part use it to beat people up! Cant find your baseball club ? no problem you can do just as much damage with our keyboard! Buy it today now!
