hi anyone know about the g19 is it worth the upgrade from g15?

http://www.logitech.com/index. ... devices/4956&cl=us,en

Ooooh... I won't be upgrading personally. The [G15] keyboard itself is nice, but the screen is essentially useless. That's not what I bought it for though.

At $200, I don't think so.

Unless you play alot of WOW or something, no-one in their right mind would splash out that amount of cash.

but they do splash 320$ on porsche wheel how does that work?

Slightly different there. You're paying for a piece of sim hardware. Not a keyboard.

I have a keyboard for like 10 euro, it does the same job as that $200 piece of crap

so useless in my opinion Paul

If I had a silly amount of spare cash lying around, I'd buy one because it looks really sexy (for a keyboard, nothing compared to a woman. Well, most of them anyway) and might actually serve a purpose other than looking pretty.

Except a $200 keyboard would be much much nicer to use than a €10 keyboard. Why not go and buy a £1 mouse? It does the same as my £40 MX1000...

I spent more money than average on my keyboard and mouse (£35 Reclusa, and a £40 MX1000 Mouse), but frankly I use my PC most of the time when I'm at home and this kit will last me for years (my mouse has been going for 3 or 4 years now). Same as getting a comfortable chair...

G!nho - Why bother with crossfire? One 4850 plays LFS fine. Heck, my laptop's Intel GMA (just about) plays LFS so wtf did you spend all your cash on?! Why do you have a G25 / DFP? You can get a sidewinder wheel for about a tenner, and it's the same thing basically...

EDIT - On topic - Would love to try one but the price is way to steep and the screen is a bit of a gimmick tbh. Can't wait to borrow one from work though Pefectly happy with my Reculsa though, although wish they keys were more "clicky" like old IBM keyboards or the older Dell OEM keyboards...

well the only thing i do with a keyboard is typing, and i dont think there is much of a difference in the pressing on the keys on both keyboards

and the screen is useless imo, its like a keyboard made by Pimp my ride they also put screens everywhere...

Everyone likes a different feel on keyboards - The GF likes a membrane keyboard (I.e. soft-touch on a laptop), whereas I like clunkier keys (because my first keyboard was an IBM keyboard :P) - if i use one then i find it more comfortable and easier to type with.

Screen is a bit useless, but there isn't a G11 rev2 (i.e. the "new" G15 without a screen) so you don't really have much choice.

Would also love to try a "Das Keyboard" at some point (although not for the lack of keys - rather for the quality feel it (should) provide).

my keyboard is also like a laptop keyboard
but actually i really need a new one

hmmmm....my dad still has a fairly new Microsoft keyboard

Quote from G!NhO :

There is. A big difference.

I like Dell keyboards myself, pretty quick to type on, faster than this G15. But the '15 is fine for me.

I stil use my microsoft keyboard and its stil doing the job fine on my bad I am buying A more precise mouse thow

i was considering geting a G15 for running keycommands/ botten spaming for games but decided it was easyer and quicker just to script something in a program

Every single time I try a new keyboard I find myself going back to my old, old PS/2 one. You can't beat a proper microswitch under each key for feel. Makes a racket but oh so worth it.

EDIT: Back onto topic. No, I wouldn't buy a keyboard for a screen. I have 2 (rather larger) screens right in front of me, why would I want to divert my vision to look at a third, rather small, one? (That and the cost, the keyboard I have now cost me nothing and feels a hell of a lot better to type on than any other keyboard I've used.)

I just bought a new keyboard. It is a logitech and cost me $10 from walmart. I have to replace it about every 6 months or so because the keys keep getting sticky..

Please, do tell.


I would never spend that much money on a keyboard. When/if you have children, neither will you. :P

I know one, do not wank on top of your keyboard

My little one tends to spill his kool-aid anytime he drinks at the computer desk.


Jeeez, you guys have dirty minds..

I'm using that! Works good, but it has annoying blue LED shining directly to my eyes

i have a g15 v2 and i like it keys are brill and screen is cool

except every single logitech keyboard ive put my finger on has been shit
even and especially compared to some 10-15€ cherrys
nevermind the fact that the g19 is ugly and will make you look like a plonker whos stupid enough to pay 200$ for the right to look like a plonker

or you could pay less than half the price for a cherry g80 which ha exactly the same keys

I'll stick with my G15. I like my flashing lights

These keyboards just arent CYBORG ENOUGH!

...Picture with no backlighting on because everyother douche uses the wannabe star trek shaped hand rest making it look awful.

In all honesty, its not that good of a keyboard for £30 but its cool none the less...POINTLESS TOUCHPANEL / GREEN+RED BACKLIGHTING MAKE ME HAPPEH
