I have a second generation (smaller orange lit one) Logitech G15 that's starting to die on me. Any ideas on what I should replace it with. The keyboards I'm considering are: The classic Model M by IBM, a silicone roll up keyboard, the original Saitek Eclipse, or the Apple Aluminum keyboard.

yes well, if you use blender or any other whatever, buy a usb keypad, so its easy to put away when its not used and by that saving space. i dont like the thing being on the right side anyway, lots of moving hands or letting go of the mouse..

I'm running Linux and I doubt anyone has gotten it to work completely with it. Not to mention it has a sky-high price. I was mostly looking at proven keyboards, I've actually used all the ones that are on that list (except for the one by Apple) at one point, be it I used to have one a while ago, or used it at a friends, etc. At the moment I'm leaning more towards the IBM-styl Unicomp keyboards which are pretty much identical to IBM old keyboards that were first put into production in the 80s.

A Keytronic keyboard if you can find it. Insanely strong so lasts a long time and always a very nice typing experience, unlike these perverted gaming keyboards.

This is mine a very sturdy bit of kit:

I have not got much kno on the new boards out, but if your looking for something that will last it should do the job.

I do not recommend Original Saitek Eclipse.
It can't handle many simultaneous key presses. Plus the buttons feel weird. And the paint on the keys vanishes after some months of gaming

I can only recommend you buy a new G15
