inb4 G-keys are useless, IMO. I love my K70 but my last keyboard had 6 g-keys (really 18 because reasons) and I programmed and but didn't use them. There are already media keys and a volume slider and whatnot.

 

Point is, I don't think anyone uses G-keys

Because the K95 is a K70 with a couple rows of macros and that doesn't really justify the higher price over the K70.

point is your point is wrong, lots of people use macro keys specifically people who play MMO's 

 

1) program keys to use all your attaks in sequence faster then you can hit them

2) program keys to do automatic forging

3) program keys to do automatic alchemy 

4) program keys to auto heal yourself with multiple clients 

5) program keys to auto attack to play for you when grinding ( botting )  then you have to time watch youtube/redtube whatever your little heart desires

 

the list goes on and on

Most people arent hardcore MMO players and if they were they would have an MMO mice like the Scimitar. So so you really need 18 macros X2?

There are a lot of MMO players that use them that are not even hard core , and the mouse macros are not always the best for certain situations , also mmo was just an example there are far more situations a macro key could be used in like perhaps a Secretary who may do a lot of copy pasting or spread sheet work or a programmer who wants certain code handy instead of typing out a huge line. 

 

and no I personally do not need that many macros thats why I would love it if they would re-do the K70 and have only 5 macro keys available, cause honestly a gaming keyboard is not a gaming keyboard unless it has some marco keys.

fair enough. And yes i wish the K70 had macros.. It would be the perfect keyboard.
