As a present for my twentieth birthday I received a Logitech G15 Keyboard yesterday. While I’ve heard some people complain about this keyboard, thus far it’s proven to be great! I like the blue backlight, which means I can see my keys at all times… and contrary to my previous keyboard the WASD keys have yet to fade, which is another big plus. Anyway, it’s pretty cool and all - although it doesn’t come with a manual for some reason - and I’m sure I’ll talk some more about it once I’ve gotten some time quality time in with it’s LCD display and Macro Keys.

Thus far I’ve simply been too addicted to Unreal Tournament 3’s beta demo to really try any of the G15 features. At least the keyboard functions flawlessly under the stressful conditions of a hardcore UT3 DeathMatch game. The game mode switch is absolutely awesome, because it means no more accidental switches to Windows when playing a game and trying to hit that Ctrl or Alt button. That game - UT 3 - is awesome by the way… and you’ll definitely want to give it a try if you haven’t already. It’s going to be the best shooter, and possibly best game, of 2007 for sure.

Today I also headed out and purchased Half Life 2: The Orange Box, which is a definite must-have this winter. There’s simply no reason to pass up on a package containing five games for the price of one! I’ve yet to actually play any of the games (although I did play Half Life 2 previously), but I’ve heard a lot of good things about Portal and Team Fortress 2… and Half Life 2: Episode 2 seems to be doing well in the reviews as well. Well then… I’ll be off to finish up Episode one and two, then I’ll report back with my impressions.

Have a nice weekend!
