Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display Review
This is an awesome keyboard and I think all others have already done a good job point out it’s features and what it is capable of.
However one thing that should be mentioned that is with all keyboards there can be manufacturing issues, but Amazon can lay fears to rest.
My keyboard was shipped and many of the keys did not work. I had it on a Vista system, so I conneced it to my wife’s XP system to ensure it was not an OS or driver issue and it was not. But with Amazon one click, fill out an online form and a new one was on it’s way immediatly. When that one came there were no issues. I definitely praise Amazon’s hassle free replacements and returns.
It was unfortunate that the first keyboard had issues, but I do have several friends that have gotten this keyboard with no issues.
Maybe some will say I am too unforgiving to the fact that there was a manufacturing issue. But those things do happen and Logitech has a very good reputation and I will stand by them and with Amazon having my back when these things happen its all good.
I still rate this a 5 because of the features and ease of use.
I had the original G15 and unlike others I actually prefer the smaller footprint at teh expense of some of the G keys. Eighteen keys X 3 modes (54 macros) if the G15 is more than what most people need and the 12 X 3 modes is more than sufficuent for my needs as well as many others. also the fact you can change the back lihgt color based on mode is very helpful when switching modes very fast in a game. There is no guessing or accidentally thinking you are in a different mode for the macros.

Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard Review
Cannot stress how amazing this board is. Its price is a little steep, but that comes from the fact that it has its OWN onboard computer to run the LCD, so that using the screen takes no processing power away from your gaming. Let’s hit up the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Color LCD that runs a variety of programs
-12 Programmable macros keys with an easy-to-use programming software
-Onboard media controls
-Only uses 1 USB port on the back of the computer
-2 powered USB ports for headphones/gamepads/mice
-3 storage slots for different profiles
-”Game” switch which disables windows key
-Otherwise, fully functional keyboard with good, rapid response from keys (a must in gaming)
Cons:
-Expensive
-Requires its own power outlet
-BIG: The screen makes sure this keyboard will be taking up a lot of real estate.
-Limited programs available for LCD screen, making it more of a novelty now than a tool.
Ladies and gentlemen, this board was designed to really support one game. World of Warcraft. Its as if Logitech sat down and made a keyboard that caters just for WoW players. The screen has incredible support for the game (it displays the mini-map), the programmable functions are nice for spell casting and abilities, and you can watch YouTube videos during the griffon rides around the world (the screen has an integral YouTube watcher, though you can’t search for videos. You have to choose from preset playlists). The WoW demo is even included on the driver disk.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t play WoW and love this thing to death for all my other gaming needs. However, if you are a WoW player, buy this thing NOW. Otherwise, if you’re just an FPS player and don’t need the coolest-looking gear in the world, settle for the much cheaper G15.

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (Black) Review
For a gamer this keyboard is awesome.Best keyboard I have ever owned.My next gaming system I will buy another one or buy the next newer model.The gaming keyboards by Logitec keep getting better.I had the last logitec keyboard that was lighted with the gaming profile but, this one is much better the LCD screen is brighter and gives more information.The LCD panel and the lighted keys are also a plus.You have a clock to let you know the time and also a news ticker that let you know the latest news updates going on in the world.If you install a game and the software picks the game up as long as it is in the sofware profiler the game is imported into the software so you don’t need to add the game in.For the price of under 0 well worth it.This ketboard is also great for Flight/Space and sub sims like Flight simulator,X-3 Reunion and Slient Hunter 4.Looks great when you turn off the lights at night while flying at night in Flight Simulator to Cruising in space in X3.The keyboard is very well lighted day or night that you can always see the keyboard for any key input you may need.
