The G15 keyboard is yet another tool a gamer can add to their arsenal to give them the edge over their friends, enemies or just computer generated adversaries. Like others on the market, it is packed with features, but unlike the others it has that little bit extra. It is well designed and a quality piece of kit. With a comfortable wrist rest, illuminated keys for those dark nights of gaming and even a little LCD panel, its fun to look at and easy to use!
The LCD panel is the first bit worth mentioning. Unusual and unique, its a handy little thing for gamers to use.

The media controlls are a God send. It is brilliant in that respect, being able to change track, volume, pause, play etc. The volume bar in ...
Advantages: Good keystrokes, backlight, functional LCD display and other gaming features Disadvantages: Large size, flimsy wrist rest

Logitech have recently made a name for themselves in manufacturing quality peripheral devices such as speakers, cameras, laser mice and keyboards.

The keyboard has the following features that make it different from a standard desktop keyboard:
-Folding tilting LCD display
-Backlight (three settings, low high or off)
-Programmable 'G keys'
-Cable management system
First off , the keyboard looks very nice. The keys are black, with the transparent markings to allow the blue backlight to shine through. The silver and black finish is also pleasant.
It is fairly heavy, but less so than i expected it ...
