How is the size compared to say a logictech G15? i like the larger surface area of keys instead of having them crammed together will this be similar?

The Steelseries Apex RAW Gaming Keyboard is slightly larger than the Logictech G15. the logictech G15 is 20.2 x 8.8 x 1.9 inches, while the SteelSeries Apex RAW Gaming Keyboard is around 20.5 x 8.7 x 2 inches but with the keys overall, it is quite spacey In my opinion, and my hands are never lost when I use it for my games that I play.

"This is great for gaming. "- my nephew. I had Logitech gaming keyboards myself and this one seems bigger and better built.

It's slightly larger, but the keys are a fair amount bigger. It's very roomy. My only minor quibbles about key size and spacing is the caps lock key seems overly easy to hit when reaching for "A", and the key to switch to layer 4 is easy to hit when going for "ESC". Otherwise I love the size and layout.

I did not receive the RAW...I only purchased the regular Apex. I am unfamiliar with the logitech G-15, but as far as the apex is concerned the keys are on the bigger side but not overly so. I am very happy with the product and would recommend it. I have larger hands and this keyboard is everything i was looking for. Hope this helps and good luck.

Hi, unfortunately the whole set of keys will have the same colour. I figured out why individual keys are lighted so dim, it is largely due to having too small see-thru sections for the lighting to come through. Still, it is a sturdy keyboard. I am pounding on it and it is working fine. As for Mice, the corded G600 is excellent for its price. Superb Value. My hand doesn't cramp grasping it for hours on end.

Yes Keys are normal size. Good tactile response. Good click, not too loud. This is a solid keyboard.

No, I think the keys are bigger than standard. But notice that there are many missing keys, like all the F- keys.

Although I no longer own it, since I upgraded to a Kawai, I do believe they have the same sized keys. Just less of them. Also be aware these keys are not touch sensitive nor are they weighted.

The keys are obviously smaller than a regular keyboard. I have medium sized hands, and they work very well for me. If you have very large hands, the keys might be too small for you. Otherwise, they keys have a nice fill to them. And they're larger and much more substantial than the M-Audio 32 key mini, which I also happen to have. I've been really well pleased with the Korg.

I have the original G15 and I hope it never breaks since the change was pretty drastic. The color orange is good since when I have a lot of white on my monitor the keys are barely readable since the reflection from the monitor makes my blue keys hard to see. I currently use 14 of the keys, most with shortcuts to programs. I memorize where they are and I have one button access to them. The fewer keys now means that I will now I have to use the M button to toggle and then select. This adds another step, but I guess it's fine since I only use 14 of the 54 keys provided. I rarely use them in-game.

After reviewing an HP G72 on here it would seem to have the same keyboard. I'd give it a try. Were not exactly talking about and expensive item, eh?

OK, actual size, I have the keyboard right in my hands: 16 " x 5.5 " (about 1/2" depth), like any standard size keyboard, go for it.

Do you mean by the amount of keys being less like a laptops or the keys themselves? The keys are short and smooth like a laptop so it is quicker and easier to type, which is what I was looking for. The keyboard itself isn't that big and has 2 spacebars, 1 of which you can change to a backspace which I found to be pretty cool.

Yes, the keys are full sized. The sound is okay. It's an okay product for practicing on the go, not for everyday use.

I'm sorry but I don't have any experience with the smaller Epic. What is the "smaller Epic"? I just didn't keep this keyboard since I could not adjust to typing. Typing on a flat surface is very very challenging for me.

We didn't keep the one we ordered, because it was defective. But, I remember it as being a little larger than the normal everyday keyboard. I think it was probably 10" deep, not long.

I cannot confirm on the SIIG because It didn't even last a month, the color of the keys faded so I disposed of it. After that I purchased a SolidTek KB-3001SH (ASK-3001H) It lasted longer, I am still using it but it lost the color of the N, V and the DEL keys but I put a paper with tape over it. The size of the SolidTek ASK-3001H is 11.7"

It has fewer keys because owners complained about the older one being too big and they hardly use them. Not everyone is happy about this change. For me i like it better because of it's smaller size and I don't use the macro keys so it didn't bother me one bit.

For a size comparison, the original G15 I have in front of me is about 1.5" shorter then the width of my 25.5" widescreen monitor. It's a behemoth of a keyboard.

Honestly, it's much like a regular keyboard. The "extra keys" aren't really extra, they are just a condensed/squished version of a keyboard. I don't have it in front of me, but I don't remember seeing anything unfamiliar.
