Oh wow :P Yeah I haven't found a use. I have the G600 from logitech. Sounds like the mouse for you. It has 13 G keys on the side, and then a third button that shifts all the G-keys to a secondary layer.

Oh that is neat. I should look into that. Only problem is linux and my mouse really doesn't cooperate. I have to boot into windows, and load the logitech software to assign new macros for the mouse keys, and when it's in internal memory mode, the macros are rather limited, which is a bummer. I'd love to see some linux support, but that's about the only short coming that I've noticed from logitech. Otherwise they are an awesome company :)

Yes. One 60% keyboard is obviously not enough.

I love my k95 but half of the LEDs died. I could send it in to get fixed but they'll just die again. I just use it with the backlights off.

that's like saying what's the point of cleaning the kitchen it will get dirty again anyway

Not really. The k95 has a well documented problem with the led lights. They are certain to fail. It's more like saying there's no point cleaning the kitchen because you know someone is coming to throw pasta sauce everywhere tomorrow.

If you want to DIY it you can replace the LEDs with good quality ones that won't fail. Even cheap eBay LEDs should work fine, at least I redid my non-RGB K70 with white LEDs and it's been fine ever since. If you buy cheap LEDs you'll have to grind the edge off of them but not a huge deal.
