I have a similar one for my IS.

I DO NOT recommend this kind. There is a spring that makes the key pop out and only 1 screw to hold the whole thing together. It causes a gap where the key flips out. It works, but just not perfect. ALSO, the transponder is too far away from the chip by the ignition so I have to collapse the key so the transponder is closer to the ignition for it to start.
Also it cost like 13 dollars at my local Lexus dealership to cut the key. Good luck.

I was looking to get a new key also, I have a transponder from another lexus key, from another lexus car. I was wondering if that could be reprogged, by myself to work with my GS?

nope, i haven't had any problems at all
the new key blade is 5mm longer than the OEM key, but it isn't so long that it puts the transponder out of range from the ignition chip
i really couldn't be happier with how it turned out
