My impressions on the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard

Yesterday I bought the new Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard to see if it's a really good gaming keyboard and it is.

Everything about it seems to be useful in one way or the other. For starters, it has blue backlit keys for easy in the dark navigation that has three displays, no backlit, low backlit and high backlit.

Also, one of the main features of the G15 is the LCD display that can open and close at will, which can display the time, date and a 12 hour clock, CPU usage and memory, and even media information when playing a song or a movie. Also, scripts can be downloaded that has other features for different application that will coincide with the LCD display.

The G15 also features two usable USB slots at the top of the keyboard both on each side of the LCD display that I've tested with my wireless mouse and digital camera and they both work great.

The G15 also features one of the best things about the keyboard are the 54 possible Macro or "G" keys. You can assign anything to each key, such as a website, application, program or anything else you can think of or imagine(pretty much). You can also use the "G" keys in game, which is the most importain aspect of the G15 and it works very well. You'll be able to create a new profile for each game you have installed which is a possible 54 "G" keys per game. The ingame "Quick Macro" feature is a nice touch too which allows you to record keystrokes ingame then when you press the specific "G" key, it'll mimic what keystrokes you did and play them back for you automatically.

Pros:

The LCD Display.

Two USB slots on the keyboard itself.

Uses USB not PS/2.

Three levels of the blue backlit keys.

The enormous amount of possible macro or "G" keys you can assign.

Cons:

The price, but the features of the G15 can easily make up for that, but still... some people don't want to pay $80 for a keyboard.

Some people are complaining about the paint of the keys chipping off or fading away after a few weeks or something like that, but when it happens I'll believe it.

Rating: 9.0

Well, that's all I have for my impressions on the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. Check back later tonight or tomorrow on my impressions on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
