Yeah, I thought of that - but most of my typing is done in Notepad or
WordPad. I've adjusted the repeat rate in Control Panel, so I will see
how I go, but you're right about the keyboards. This one seems ultra
sensitive, so I may just go back to my old $20 one. I bought the G15
because of the LCD and the macro keys on the side of the keyboard. I
no longer use the LCD, but it would be a shame to have to give up the
macro's that I use for games, just because typing in Windows
applications is a problem... :-(
