Logitech G15 Keyboard

Don't be fooled, it's big

Primarily intended as a 'gamers keyboard' my reason for choosing this particular keyboard is the large amount (3x18) of programmable macro keys available.
When the old 'PC Dash' no longer worked with the latest Windows OS the G15 was an obvious replacement.

Besides the macro keys other toys include LCD display with stopwatch, clock, calendar, CPU meter etc, there is also the possibility for some games to display game data (remaining lives, ammunition etc). Another toy is a switch to disable the keyboard 'Windows' key, the one that accidentally gets pushed during game play with disastrous consequences.
There is also a bank of media control buttons (play, stop, next/previous track etc) revealed when the LCD display is raised.
For those that prefer to work in the dark the keys can be back-lit. Lastly there are two USB ports to the rear of the keyboard.

Pictured on the far left are the 18 macro, or 'G' keys. The three buttons above the 'G' keys change between the three banks of 18.

On the left is a screenshot of the 'G' key programming software.
