Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard

Pros: backlight, palmrest, volume scroller, media keys, quiet keys only uses 1 usb port

Cons: blue backlight is not bright enough overkill with macro keys - dont use them in fps

Overall Review: bought a razer blackwidow ultimate but returned it because it was so loud. this keyboard has much more reasonable noise. works well in fps games that I play

Pros: I trashed a G11 by spilling a huge cup of coffee on it, and after attempting to clean it I was unsuccessful in getting it to work. The point is I replaced it with with this G110, which just arrived yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised at a number of improvements over the G11. 1st this G110 is a lot smaller in size, which will allow it & my mouse to share the slide out keyboard tray on my computer desk. This was accomplished by making the keys slightly smaller and removing an entire column of programmable gaming keys. Not to worry though, the G110 now incorporates the entire row of F keys as programmable gaming keys giving you a total of 24 gaming keys X3 modes. Next is the lit keys, there are now 4 standard colors you can choose from (you can also create your own within the spectrum of red & blue), which will allow you to set a different color for each mode for easy identification. Another big plus is the rubber feet that keep the keyboard from sliding around.

Cons: Most disappointing to me is the lack of a dimmer for the back-light, although this can be accomplished somewhat by choosing or creating darker colors. Also another reviewer pointed out that the G11 was a lot sturdier, and I agree that the G110 is a lot lighter and a little flimsier. Another item is that the volume control is a rolling drum 1/2 inch thick by 1 1/4 long which has no friction resistance to prevent it from changing from an accidental bump. Finally one of the bigger changes is the letters & numbers are considerably smaller than the G11.

Overall Review: Despite the cons I am definitely pleased with the smaller more efficient size and have no regrets having purchased the G110.

Pros: -Sleek Design -excellent light up color, each color even the pink looks great. -Convenient buttons, such as mute headphone, mic, and system volume -Gotta say it, the system mute and the sliding volume bar are by far the best part. Being able to slide the volume bar rather than push a button or use something touch sensitive is nice. That analog / physical feel is great and a high point of this keyboard -very soft natural feeling keys, that make low amount of noise when typing. -only requires drivers if you plan on using the g-keys

Cons: -What you may not know and by far a HUGE setback is that attaching your headphones into the keyboard uses a different and generic usb sound driver, therefore overriding a sound card. And it sounds like complete garbage. This is no good at all and very disappointing. If you have a nice headset, don't bother with this feature, get an extension cord for your mic/audio and Y split it so you can plug in headphones or speakers easily. -the escape key is not at the top left corner, which makes it a bit hard to find if your last keyboard did when not looking, even for a typer of many years, it'll throw you off. this is a minor and continuous annoyance when playing a game that requires a esc key fairly often. -The usb hub of the keyboard wont even charge an ipod or a zune. Its very low powered, the only thing it seems good for is a mouse or a removable flash drive. Logitech...give this thing more power ability, especially for a perhiperal as pervasive as an ipod.

Overall Review: Just a FYI, this keyboard has 3 color sets, blue, pinkish-purple and red, all of which are quite nice looking. Each Color represents a "Bank" for the G-keys, like a guitar effects processor really. Each color has its own 12 G-keys, switching between colors is basically switching between those sets of g-keys. so, if you like a certain color but plan on using g-keys for different apps, that's something to keep in mind Has sliding/snapping disable windows key which also disables the right-click/context menu button. standard keyboard props below to angle it. Nice long, thick cord that is well protected at the connection point from being bent or frayed like many keyboards that will eventually cut out your connection.

Pros: Gentle back-lighting, not too bright not too dull, someone sturdy. Affordable. Feels good in my hands, a decent amount of options, and i can reach all the macro-keys with my pinky without taking my hand off WASD, which is exactly what i needed!

Cons: I was kind of disappointed that you cannot individually change the colors of each and every key, or as far as i could see, and i thought it did. The arm rest is junk, doesn't feel good and is made of very cheap plastic. I don't feel its worth taking a star off, the rest is an option, and the lighting was due to my ignorance.

Overall Review: The keyboard feels really good, though its gonna take me a while to get comfortable with it. The keys are quiet and smooth when pressed, and the texture is kind of a matte feeling. When i have been using a HP stock keyboard since i built my rig a few years ago. Good job Logitech for making an amazing keyboard

Pros: Illuminated keys means no more fumbling in the dark, nor requirement of a desk lamp. Macro on the fly. 3 sets of macros. Programmable macros with time delay, etc. great for people who use complicated macros for gaming. Windows key disabler <sounds of angels singing>

Cons: The key travel is pretty severe. Keys are stiff and take a lot more pressure than I figured a gaming keyboard would require. Often because of these two drawbacks, many of your frantic key presses will not be activated because you haven't pressed hard enough. Which can happen a lot with pinky activated key presses, ie: the "G" keys! wrist support is flimsily attached and flops all over the place when you lift and move the board. A lot of people are having issues with non-responsive keys. you may want to look more into this before you buy. Anti-ghosting is only around the WASD. Keys are painted black. This means with repeated use you're going to rub your WASD into a brightly lit splotchy mess.

Overall Review: Keyboard is smaller than the older style I am used to. QWERTY block is 1cm shorter in width and height. The smaller keys take a lot of muscle memory reprogramming . This coupled with the other main drawbacks means a LOT of problematic typing. But, perhaps this is the style of all newer model keyboards. I'm replacing a Logitech Elite.

Pros: I love the smooth silence of the keys and the soft feel the material of the keyboard in general is made from. The backlights are nice and cuustomizable whether or not you use the CD software or the downloadable software. More macro keys than you will know what to do with at first just getting into it. Laser etched keys to prevent gamer wear-off. Next-best thing to Mechannical Cherry Black in terms of tactility and silence. Amazing customer service.

Cons: It's my system. I've been digging, customizing, researching all I can yet I seem to be the unfortunate sod what got a Windows Vista OEM that until now I've never had one problem with. Any other USB keyboard I use, will work normally with the exception of missing the occasional keystroke, and I mean super rare missing. This keyboard and it's replacement on my Vista SP2 64-biit with DX11 will double type on keypress. And the odd thing is it's to completely random severity on every startup. Like right now I am typing out this review without modifying the double-typing just to point them all out and this is the minimum I'll ever get. The more frequent is roughly 10+ times this often. This happens w/o any software, with CD SW installed, with website SW installed, and with the website SW I get two "unknown device connected" warnings every startup that I respond with "Do not notify me again" but they kept prompting.

Overall Review: I have been on and off with Logitech Technical Support and I love working with them and I myself am Apple Technical Support. Call #1 they had me disable the one thing checked in the keyboard ease of access defaults that I had never considered. It worked for the rest of that PC-on session. Next time I started up it was bback with a vengeannce. Since then I called twice more after researching more and more. The second call was: turn key repeat to slow and delay to long, no effect. Then recheck ease of access keyboard options, enable sticky keys, no effect, disable, no effect. Finally that agent wanted to send me a repair form via email which was supposed to be a pre-paid shipping label to send the keyboard in and get it repaired. I never got the email. Called back much later and went over everything I had before since that second call wasn't even on file. That agent didn't bother setting up repair and sent me a replacement. It double-type's too. I'm sure it's something in my system.

Pros: *Keys have great feel to them, require a little force to push *Volume Control is nice, a little slow though *Great looking keyboard *Quiet keys

Cons: * Back lighting is the worst I've ever seen. You cannot tell that its on when there is any light around, including the light from the monitor. *Some keys only partially backlit.

Overall Review: Read mixed reviews on Newegg and was hoping to just get a lower-priced backlit gaming keyboard... so I bought this, and I regret it already. I just got it today. The backlighting was the main reason for the upgrade other than the fact that I was using a 10-yr old Dell keyboard up until now, and it is terrible.

Pros: It's a great keyboard, blue LED's are harder to see than Red, but it's a dope looking keyboard. VERY quite typing, does take some time getting used to. Was worth the money.

Cons: The design is a little upsetting. Not the shapre, but the legs underneath. If the legs are pushed up in, the keyboard leans BACKWARDS, and with hem up it BARELY lays flat. I want the keyboard to LEAN to me. This does anger me a bit but I can deal with it.

Overall Review: DO NOT INSTALL THE DRIVERS FROM THEIR WEBSITE, JUST DO A QUCIK SEARCH AND GET THE 3.03 OF THE DRIVERS, THE NEW ONES WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!! I did a quick google search because my G Keys weren't working by doing simple tasks like opening my web browser, so I searched and found out it's the new drivers. They've been having the problem for a year+ and still haven't fixed it, so get version 3.03 .... You'll see it when googling and being on Logtechs Forums, a tech junky posts it for everyone, a download from LOGITECHS site, so no need to worry about viruses or anything.
