Logitech G15 USB Gaming Keyboard

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

I have to admit, forking out just under 50 quid for a keyboard was a little hard to swallow at first. But this isn’t just any ordinary keyboard, this is the Logitech G15 USB Gaming Keyboard, which comes complete with 18 programmable G keys and an adjustable tilting, LCD panel which folds down completely for storage, which, to tell you the truth is what won me over. The LCD panel gives you system information without having to leave the game, shows all your game stats and lets you create macros, for an even more efficient gaming experience. Both the LCD panel of the Logitech G15 and the keyboard come with a backlight, which has 3 settings so you can play in the dark for added “atmosphere”, and frankly, it just looks great… it will be a awesome addition to any LAN

The Logitech G15 USB Gaming Keyboard is extremely big and bulky though, mainly because of the G keys, which can put you off it at first, but once you get going on it, you find that it is extremely comfortable to use, and the keys have a great feel to them, so the size itself actually causes no problem at all, unless, of course, your desk is too small for it, but that is something you can get past. The only slight downside I can point out is that the USB ports are only 1.1 speed, so any device taking up a significant amount of power won’t work on it.

All in all, the Logitech G1 is a fantastic gaming keyboard, but made specifically for just that, gaming, so if you aren’t an avid gamer, it’s not really worth paying that much money for features you’ll never use. I for one will definitely be getting one of these babies for myself

Happy Shopping!
