The tournament-proven PRO design, now with your choice of swappable pro-grade GX mechanical switches: Clicky, Tactile and Linear. Built to win in collaboration with the world’s top esports athletes.
It offers also few other features, such as 18 fully programmable keys and backlighted keys. Logitech sells this as a gaming keyboard (and as I discoverd that is probably true)
Of course the LCD display got my attention. In games this can be used for displaying gaming stats. In windows it displays media stats, clock and CPU/RAM stats.
The main problem of course is the fact that the display is only 160x43 with only one shade (on or off) which makes very hard to resize the image nicely. I therefore added some way to crop the original image so only part of the image will be used and eventually resized to the LCD display.
The LCD display on keyboard is an interesting idea and I wish it is more common, so I can add it to other software (for example it can display progress bar during DVD-lab compilling etc.)
The Logitech kbd is not bad, but after a while I actually removed it from my programming machine and put back the old trusty Microsoft Internet kbd with white keys, black letters and higher angle.
I put the Logitech on my "general" computer (browsing internet, reading e-mails etc. but not heavy typing) The G15 does look good and it is probably great for dark night gaming with the ability to control 18 customizable keys. However for general typing I am not quite sure.
Setting aside the screen for a moment, the G19 keyboard itself is only slightly more impressive than the most recent version of the G15. The core key design provides the same crisp keystrokes, with the same 12 "G" keys on the left edge. As with the G15, the G19 gives you three different switchable modes, so you end up with 36 effective customizable keys, along with on-the-fly macro recording. Logitech also includes another hallmark of its G-series keyboards, a switch that lets you disable the dedicated "Windows" key, so you don"t accidentally switch to your desktop screen during gameplay with an errant key press.
New to this model (aside from the color LCD) is its capability to recognize five simultaneous key presses. Macro-happy gamers and digital artists, in particular, should appreciate that feature, which opens up a greater level of mastery to run repetitive commands. We"re also glad to see that the G19 now has two powered USB 2.0 jacks. The G15 is stuck with USB 1.1, which is not as fast. Anyone who regularly transfers large amounts of data between a PC and a portable storage device or media player will benefit from that added bandwidth.
Other features include a smart drum-style volume control above the G19"s number pad, on top of which you"ll also find a set of easily accessible media play controls. As before, the G19 ties into iTunes, Windows Media Center, and other media software apps. Last but not least among the new, non-LCD-related highlights is the option to select from 16 million different colors for the backlit keys. You customize the colors through the only-somewhat-intuitive Logitech Profile software, which lets you tie three different colors to the three mode buttons for the programmable "G" keys. We wish it had a dedicated button to scroll through at least a few preset colors, though. We also wish Logitech would consolidate its configuration software into one application. Instead you have to bounce around between the G-series Key Profiler for setting up the G keys, and a separate LCD Manager app for the built-in screen. Which brings us, finally, to the color LCD.
As with the G15, the G19 provides you with a secondary display, ostensibly to minimize the number of times you switch out of a game to the Windows desktop to check the time, your in-box, or get other information. Unlike the G15"s two-tone model, the G19 gets full color output and a larger 320x240 screen size. Logitech includes 11 different applications you can use on the screen of the G19, among them a clock, a system performance monitor, an RSS reader, photo and video players, and an app that lets you play YouTube videos. All of those programs have option screens--accessible through both the LCD Manager software and through a set of screen menu controls on the keyboard itself--that let you change content source folders and make other adjustments.
The G19 also comes with built-in support for 46 PC games, and four different applications, including Ventrilo, the popular third-party voice chat software favored by many PC gamers. "Support" for those various titles means essentially that the screen will display different information, such as character stats and ammunition counts. We haven"t tried every game on the list, many of which are outdated, but we never found the game-specific information that handy during gameplay. We can see a few possibilities that would make the LCD screen more useful, such as giving you an extra inventory screen or showing an in-game map, but we haven"t seen those kinds of features implemented in the handful of titles we"ve tried. We do, however, like the Ventrilo plug-in that lets you know who"s talking, which can be useful if you don"t know everyone in your World of Warcraft guild by voice.
Potentially more exciting is that, as with the G15, Logitech also includes a software development kit for the G19"s LCD. It took a while for the enthusiast community to embrace the G15"s kit, but once it did, all kinds of mini apps became available for public download. We don"t expect the G19"s software library to have blossomed in the three months since the keyboard"s release, but without a critical mass of homemade applications, it"s hard for us to say what kinds of programs might come from the community. You can use some of the homebrewed G15 apps on the G19, but not all of them work on the new color screen. We also can"t help but wonder what effect the G19"s high price will have on the adoption rate among the enthusiast community. If fewer people buy the G19, that will surely affect the amount of collective effort behind any software development.

The keyboard is one of your most important computer peripherals, so it is smart to invest in one that really suits your needs. That could be a gaming keyboard with the lowest latency and coolest lighting, an office friendly ergonomic keyboard to make long days easier, or an ultra compact keyboard that can slip into any digital nomad’s backpack. Discover all of the many options for your perfect computer keyboard here.
Membrane vs. Mechanical: Membrane keyboards use pressure sensitive membranes under the keycaps, while mechanical keyboards use tiny spring loaded mechanical switches. Gamers often prefer mechanical keyboards for their tactile feel, durability, and fast action, but membrane keyboards typically have a lower price point and eliminate the clicky sound of mechanical keyboards.
Connectivity: Wireless keyboards connect to a computer either via Bluetooth or a 2.4ghz RF signal with a USB dongle, while wired keyboards use a cord. Today’s wireless or Bluetooth keyboards offer very low latency and eliminate the hassle of dealing with cords, but some gamers still prefer corded keyboards for their near nonexistent latency and lower price point. If you are shopping for a wired keyboard, cord compatibility is important to keep in mind.
Ergonomics: A huge variety of ergonomic features are available on keyboards, including wrist and palm rests, built in touchpads, and split angled keyboard designs that provide a typing angle some people find more comfortable. True split keyboards actually come in two separate pieces that can be positioned wherever the user wants while still providing the functionality of a full sized keyboard. Other people prefer very compact mini keyboard models for their portability and low profile, including tenkeyless keyboards that eliminate the number pad.
Modular Capability: Some users want the ability to swap different keycaps onto their mechanical keyboard’s switches, either because they prefer the feel of certain switch types or they want to customize the keyboard layout. If that sounds like you, check out the many models of modular keyboards available here.
Backlighting: Backlit keys are a popular keyboard feature for anyone working or gaming in a low-light environment. Many people also enjoy the visual aesthetic of RGB backlighting that gaming keyboards often come equipped with.

In software, it"s said that everything grows until it can read mail. In hardware, the corresponding dictum is that everything grows until it has an LED screen. Accordingly, Logitech has taken its high-end G15 gaming keyboard and added an attractive, if superfluous, display."The Logitech G15 keyboard offers an integrated LCD screen which can be customized to view vital in-game information, system status, CPU memory available or data from other applications without interrupting game play. The G15 keyboard offers PC gamers a tactical advantage with six programmable G-keys - and three mode keys - to create useful macros on the fly that play-back with a single key press."
The keyboard is $100 and available immediately. Availability of in-game support, however, is a bit cloudy. But really, it"s the glowing red, KITT-like awesomeness on sale, not actual utility.
Of the nearly 200 we"ve tested, the Keychron Q6 is by far the best keyboard. While we recommend the full-size Q6 here, the Q-series consists of a range of keyboard sizes, from the typing and programming-friendly Keychron Q2 to the tiny Keychron Q4 or even the TenKeyLess Keychron Q3. Regardless of what size you get, each Q-series keyboard offers an unparalleled out-of-the-box typing experience and an incredibly durable build quality.
The frame of this keyboard is solid aluminum, so we don"t recommend tossing this into your backpack and bringing it on the go unless you"re adding weight for a workout. Within this aluminum frame, the PCB sits slightly suspended in gaskets. This gasket-mounted style adds a bit of bounce when you type and reduces the overall impact of bottoming out the keys. It also gives room for two layers of sound-dampening foam around the switches to reduce the ping and rattle of your keys while you type.
Each keyboard comes with an included toolkit consisting of a hex key, a screwdriver, a switch puller, and a keycap puller, all specifically to deconstruct your keyboard. While this might seem counterintuitive, it means you have infinite possibilities to tweak and adjust the keyboard to be completely yours. Plus, you can easily repair the keyboard, improving its overall longevity. The software allows for a similar range of customization, meaning that you can create and play around with the hardware, software, and firmware to have a completely personalized board. Of course, you don"t have to alter the board in any way, especially since the stock components are all very high-quality, so just leaving the board as-is feels and sounds excellent.
I"m considering the possibility of my friend (although he"s being kind of a d♥♥♥ lately & hard to get a hold of) modding the screen from my G19s (the one that is wearing out & I"m attempting to replace) into an external USB case so that the screen can still be used, if not the keyboard itself; the only reason I even considered this was because he"s been known to put backlit, high-definition screens into old handheld game systems, so he"s pretty smart when it comes to this, but it might require leaving the entire board for the keyboard in one piece (if anything, I suppose I could keep the old keyboard connected to the computer for the screen only & use another keyboard that isn"t having the sticking problems)... Of course I still have to use old software/drivers regardless, seeing as Logitech still can"t seem to fix the issue... And just FYI, the G19 also has the capability to play videos (even online videos & live streams) & picture shows on it, however I"ve never used it for that purpose (it was always used for informational purposes in my case). There were a number of functions that were also available, however I didn"t particularly want those running while running games or streams of those games, using more processing power/bandwidth than is necessary.
