been looking and drooling over the g19 mostly because of the full lcd on it, iv currently have the g15 refresh and love it, Everest has built in support for it and i have my core usage, temps, ram usage etc displayed at all times. has anyone made the plunge to the g19? if so how does it compare?

I would find that KB a distraction at best.

It does look amazing I will give it that but a full color lcd that you can watch video with while you game? kinda contradictory for my use but that's just me. Its also horribly overpriced and for that reason alone for some people, it becomes a must have. lol

If my G15 1st gen were to suddenly break...maybe just maybe!

I also have a First Gen G15 and I'm so glad the screen folds shut because after about 15 minutes of use I found it to be way too distracting to have something glowing that isn't my main display. So for me personally I would never really buy another peripheral with a screen on it.

Its not worth the money to go to the G19 from the G15 and yes i have the G15 second ver aswell and the only thing the G19 dose over the G15 is powered usb ports and the colored screen.
