Digital camera reviews of Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color DisplayDigital camera Review: "Gaming"?! Keyboard.... Summary: 2 Stars
This is suppose to be a hardcore gaming keyboard so I'm going to be a little harsh on the review.
I like the LCD and I also like the customizability of the backlight coloring. Its nice to have 12 macro keys with 3 different setups ready to use with the press of a button, convenient.
I really wish the keys didn't feel so squishy. For gaming I like keys that have a short distance to press down and have more of a click feeling than a squish. Also the keys are really slippery, it would have been nice if Logitech gave the keys a rubber like coat for grip and throw in a couple extra "wasd" keys for the price.*This would have saved the product for me!
What do I use right now? The Razer Lycosa, it is a fantastic keyboard and for the money it's a much better buy. If you don't need the LCD or the extra macro keys then I would recommend the Razer Lycosa.
Ultimately, this is why I gave this keyboard 2 stars.
Keyboards designed for gaming need to provide gamers with an edge. Logitech really failed on this one. They gave us a fantastic enthuses keyboard but a mediocre gaming keyboard. When a gamer buys a keyboard in a retail store he/she doesn't just look on the box or glance at the products special features. Hardcore gamers need to put their hands on it, only then can they FEEL that the keyboard will truly provide them with an edge.
Key features of this key board vs impact on the gamer
^Color GamePanel LCD - superficial
^User-Selectable Character Backlighting Color - superficial
^12 Programmable keys three macros per key - necessity; these used properly can really give a person that edge they're looking for
^Two High-Speed power USB ports- convenient
^Game Mode Switch- necessity boarder line convenient,most hardcore gamers know what keys they're hitting
^Multi-Key Input- necessity but very common with most gaming keyboards
**This is an extremely superficial "gaming" keyboard. If you're looking to win the dog and pony show at your local lan party this is perfect for you. 12 macro key aren't worth $200, Sorry Logitech you fail epically at giving the gamer a keyboard that is truely above the rest.
p.s. if the name of the product didn't have "Gaming" in it and the price was drop under $100 Id give it 4 stars
Summary of Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color DisplayGive yourself the advantage you need to win. Giving you an arsenal of advanced gaming technology, the Logitech G19 gaming keyboard is the first Logitech keyboard to feature a color GamePanel LCD. The tilt able, 320-by-240-pixel display provides valuable in-game information for over sixty games, including World of Warcraft (requires installation of included Logitech GamePanel software)
