I was happily IRCing away this morning when my Return key (the real name for the "enter" key between "Shift" and "|\" ) stopped working.
Just stopped. No more return. Enter on the keypad kept me going just fine until i got angry and plugged in my saitek eclipse II (no black screen bug with planetside!) for a return key.
A little googling and it turns out that tons of people have their return keys break on the G15, many of them RMAed their keyboards as a result.
Another group suggested installing new drivers, so I did that (since I got my G15 as a prize I'd have trouble getting an RMA).
It worked!
Pick up the new drivers here before yours takes a dump:

Also, in your face frag.
[17:21:41] <Fragmatic> it won't fix it
[17:21:41] <myrtar> apparently many others have experienced this failure as well
[17:22:06] <myrtar> i don't expect it will, but wtf, it just died in the middle of writing a thread 30 minutes ago
[17:22:54] <myrtar> and let's be honest, the g15 is cooler than this saitek, even though the keys' black is wearing off
[17:23:09] <myrtar> soooo... enter key?
[17:23:11] <myrtar> YES
[17:23:12] <myrtar> fixed it
[17:23:14] <myrtar> enter
[17:23:14] <myrtar> enter
[17:23:14] <myrtar> enter
