The "Adjustable-tilt, backlit LCD display" is a very nice feature, but from the looks of the website, not that many games supported currently which is dissapointing (Especially the likes of Battlefield 2). Hopefully in the future Logitech will release some good updates.
Just hope you have a nice clear area on your desk to place this, otherwise that LCD display is pretty useless if you have a very short sliding draw instead. But least all the keys are backlit! --------------------

i know people are working on BF2 for it cos ive looked @ the G15 Forum also some good use of macros aswell, some people have it so when your spec ops its switches from ya machine gun to C4 throws 2bits then switches to detonator. Could be very handy

That does sound handy yeah, but then it is just lazy
 and wouldn't it also be limited as well. For example say you just activated that Macro, and an enemy is coming up to you, you won't be able to do anything then whilst your in the process of changing weapons. I mean if you do it manually and you have decent reflexes, you could easily switch to your gun quickly and take them out whereas with the Macro, you probably wouldn't be able to since it needs to finish the command. But if you are able to interrupt it then at least that's fine!

Hmm, the Zboard should do macros as well. That's what I'm using so I could test the theory that macros should take too long to initiate and complete - I reckon it'd all be over in a flash, as that's how macros work by speeding up commands uber quick.
I had a go at using the MS Gamevoice thing with BF2 so you can basically do voice commands and say things like 'knife' etc or any kind of phrase for macros etc that may take more than one button to do, but really, that thing is totally crap and gets the command mixed up 90% of the time and pulls off stupid stunts like suddently jumping or something when you are crouched down low trying to snipe an enemy just because you breathed on the mic.  The Zboard for me is good since it has the 'crossfire' butterfly keypad thing though it could be so much improved if it didn't just stupidly duplicate those all important WASD keys again in the standard half of the keyboard (meaning the red crosskeys and standard WASD keys bind exactly the same and don't act independently) - could do with all the spare keys you can get: and that's another bad thing about buying extended keysets, as they often have less keys than the basic Crossfire edition. Oh, no problem with flogging stuff like ram here at ExG, just so long as people realise ExG take no responsibility for anything at all in the event any exchanges don't go 100% smoothly.

How much you selling them RAM for?
It looks like a photocopyer. I would wait and get that keyboard where you can adjust the appearence of the keys for different games etc. --------------------

Have you tried using a Nostromo Speed Pad (by Belkin) yet?
I switched to one about 2 years ago and haven't touched a 'normal' keyboard for FPS games since ! Much more comfortable for those prolonged sessions and easy to program with macros etc etc Mucho recommended
