I had a much-loved but ailing Logitech G11 gaming keyboard and bought a Sumvision Spectrum illuminated keyboard around £13, discussed on HUKD, a few weeks back. The G11 I have is over five years old and still looks great! The Sumvision has the ink wearing away on the keys already!!
Saw this in Currys Robroyston, Glasgow. Wonder if there's any more out there? No longer on the Currys website.

Clearly these keyboards are essential for gamers to type abuse at each other!

It's easy to be passionate about winning, but Logitech's passion is in the science that makes winning possible. They build precise gaming instruments. They advance technology so gamers can reach new levels of speed, precision, reliability and comfort. Science is their philosophy, their methodology for studying, testing, and advancing gamers' experience—in the lab and in the game.
There’s no such thing as too much control.
If control is your savoir, this keyboard is your salvation. Harness the power of 18 G-keys and three modes for 54 unique higher functions and receive constant updates from your GamePanel screen. Know more, see more and do more, faster, with a gaming keyboard that enables you to play beyond your greatest game.
More about the G510s vs the G510: "Due to the success of the very popular G510 keyboard, Logitech has decided to refresh the faceplate of that iconic design with a glossy dark blue coating and they've released it as the the G510s. The new coating supposedly makes the keyboard more durable and keeps fingerprint smudges to a minimum but as we've found, that's more easily said than done. The keyboard's layout and basic functions remain identical to that of its predecessor..."
If you use the arrowkeys for movement then this keyboard is useless for gaming as the anti-ghosting does not apply to all the keys within finger-reach. Plus all the fancy buttons are on the wrong side of the keyboard.
Basically all we get is some grey keys. WOOOOOoooooo......cheap thrills.

I managed to get one a few weeks ago. Must say it is a fantastic keyboard easily one of the best non-mechanical keyboards you can get. The software is easy to use, the screen is useful I use it to display GPU/CPU usage and temps. The key coating is great, I don't think the keys will ever wear or look old. The anti-ghosting and response time is quick I play Battlefield and League of Legends if you use a standard response time keyboard you will notice the difference. The volume control wheel is very nice as well as the headset connections. I paid the same price as posted (got the last one in PC World) but I feel like I robbed them this keyboard really is worth the £80+ premium. Bargain.

Last one in Robroyston as far as I could see. Might be worth popping in/phoning if you're nearby.

PS: The third comment on here from Brian http://www.axonnsays.com/2012/02/logitech-g510-review-how-to-betray-your-fans-and-name/ suggests the G510s is a newer version of the G510.
