Reviews Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display

I had the G510 and the G15 and the only problem I had with them was they didn't support that many games. This not only supports gaming, but you can customize the apps you put on it. I have AIDA64 and this Logitech G19 works great with it and has a pretty cool GUI. It also supports teamspeak which I use a lot. And I like seeing who is in a room, what their status is and will show you who is talking.

For every gamer out there who gets frustrated wtih running out of accessible keybinds, this Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming keyboard is just awesome. The macro keys on the lefthand side have 3 different modes, giving you 36 readily accessible binds. The feel of the keyboard is incredibly smooth - it's not noisy and the keys push easily. 

The Logitech G19 screen is really useful for a lot of things BUT! you wont find it any ware useful if you don't install LCD host, this little program really changes everything. With it you can make your own custom screen layouts, for example I have mine showing the current song in the upper part in the lower song time left and progress in a bar, my cpu usage my ram usage cpu, gpu temps mobo temps, frequency of all of this, a graphic of my 2 gpu usage in percentage , free vram, fps and network in and out.

It Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboardfeels very well made, The keys feel nice as well. The only negative aspects that I do not like. I wish that the LED backlighting on the keys was slightly brighter. I've configured things to get the color I wanted however the lights are not very bright. Then again that is just my personal taste. The other thing is that my volume control wheel feels very cheap.

Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard Pros:
1. You can customize the color of the keys
2. The LCD screen is great since you can customize the color/apps running on it
3. Very customizable. There are 3rd party apps you can install that work great with it.

I found the installation to be a breeze with the included software. Really, this is a plug and play unit once you have installed the software which gives you some utilities to control the features. If you want a solid feeling keyboard with backlighting and can handle the extremely high price, this Logitech G19 Programmable is a keyboard that you will not regret buying.

In the end, a great keyboard. But does this justify the price? Honestly, if you can remember all of what this keyboard offers and put to use the lcd and all of the other features offered, then you'd probably agree that the price is justified.
