5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I have come to expect from Logitech, December 26, 2009

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have owned many keyboards over the years and in the past 10 years, they have all been Logitech. I also have the Logitech G11 gaming keyboard which I was using prior to this one. First of all, if you don't need a gaming keyboard, don't buy one. I noticed a few reviews that actually seemed to view this keyboard negatively for having lots of keys they won't use. Doesn't make sense, does it? If you are not a gamer or the idea of macro recording and extra keys doesn't entice you, this is a rather expensive keyboard. You would be much better off getting a wireless Logitech desktop for your non-gaming needs.

Now, if you ARE a gamer, welcome to heaven!! I absolutely love the softness of the keys on this keyboard. They are quiet and very responsive. The keys are silky smooth and it's just a joy to use. It has taken a bit to get used to the extra keys along the left side as they are so close to the rest of the keys and when not looking, it can be slightly annoying to find where you are on the keyboard. I'm sure this will disappear in a few more days of use though. All of the features on this keyboard are absolutely wonderful and I'm so glad they chose to go with the minimum features needed to enhance your game play and not clutter up the keyboard with a bunch of stuff you do not need.

The macro keys are awesome. Very easy to use and making new macros on the fly is quick and simple. The windows lock key is invaluable. Why has no one thought of this before?! I can't tell you how many times I've been in a heated PvP battle and accidentally hit my windows key. You know the rest. The headset and microphone mute buttons are also ingenious. Not everyone has a quality headset or microphone with a built in mute button, so this is priceless for those people and also more convenient for me to push one of these buttons rather than reach up to my head to mute the mic there. The back light turns on and off with a simple tap on the button. No need to open up a configuration program to turn it on and off. Nice. The back light is just the right intensity and the ability to change the colors (pink!) is very cool. The media player buttons are pretty standard on keyboards today, but I do love how they confined them to a small space on the right side of the keyboard so they aren't dominating my play area on the keyboard like others I have had. The volume wheel is also the best I have ever seen on a keyboard of any kind. I don't particularly like the volume dials that "click" with every movement because volume control can lack a lot of precision at times. One click can take you from too loud to so quiet you can barely hear it. This volume wheel is very smooth with no clicking and works like a dream. The mute button is also right beside it so you can quickly push it if you are like me and have to keep an ear out for a baby monitor in the evenings. Last but certainly not least, the USB 2.0 and headphone/microphone jacks are absolutely wonderful! I could never go back to a keyboard without at least one USB 2.0 port having so many gaming peripherals and electronic gadgets. My only gripe is that I wish they had kept the two USB 2.0 ports of the G11. All our headsets are USB anyway but we do have one headset that can be either.

I have to take the time to refute a few of the claims here on the other reviews as I don't believe this keyboard deserves the 3.5 stars it currently has here on Amazon. Some of the negative reviews are what made me skip over the G110 and try the G11 first. I honestly wish I had waited for this keyboard because it is superior in many ways. One reviewer states this keyboard feels cheap because it's lightweight. This keyboard absolutely does NOT feel cheap. Everything about it boasts quality. Just because it is lightweight does not mean it is garbage. I appreciate the fact that it's lightweight, as I'm sure many others do as well. It was also stated that this keyboard is unattractive. I can only assume this person was comparing photos and not actual products side by side because there is nothing unattractive about this keyboard, but it is a matter of opinion I suppose. Another reviewer compared it to the "beautiful SideWinder X6" which to me looks almost identical but with extra bulky buttons along the top side. And how much does it really matter when you don't usually look down at your hands while gaming, typing or anything else. I did at first think my G11 was more attractive than that G110 until I had them both in my lap. The layout of the G11 is meant to be pleasing to the eye with the mix of silver and black and the fancy handles?? on the top. But when you have them side by side and you see how enormous the G11 is beside this little beauty, it's easy to see why I favor the G110. The G11 has extra macro keys, true, but between the normal in game hot keys and my Razer Naga mouse with 12-key thumb pad, I don't need 54 potential macro keys. 36 suits me just fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for gaming, not so great for everything else, January 16, 2010

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have been testing this keyboard for three weeks now, and I am ready to rate it now. I am typing this review with it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For you impatient types, here is your executive review:

Gaming functions: 5/5
Key profiler and game scan: 4/5
Built in audio jack: 5/5
Built in mic jack: 5/5
Built in USB port: 2/5
Built in multimedia controls: 3/5
Back-lighting: 5/5
Keyboard as a keyboard: 3/5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think, as a gaming keyboard, the features and functions the G110 offers are excellent. The macro and quick key functions are easy to use, either with the macro recorder that is built into the keyboard itself, or the "key profiler" program which is installed with the keyboard. The macros work well, and changing between the three modes of macros is a snap with the M1-M3 keys. You will need (and love) all 3 modes of keys if you are using the keyboard for a complicated RTS or an MMORPG (World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic, etc.). Additionally, you can record macros for ANY program. Just open up the key profiler program, and select the program's EXE file, and give it a name. I assigned some macros for Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop for mundane tasks (that take many menus to do, and don't have convenient hot-keys already) like saving in different formats, and applying the same set of filters, etc. to a file. Once you learn to record the TIME DELAYS with the macros, then it works beautifully (if you don't the macro goes too fast for most standard programs to respond to, as they are loading up pop-up windows for you to interact with, and there is a time delay on that).

I tested the gaming aspect of the keyboard inside THQ's Company of Heroes: Gold Edition and Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins. Interestingly enough, neither of those games was pre-recognized by the automatic "game scan" that the key profiler comes with. The profiler automatically recognized, and created a profile for: Knights of the Old Republic (1 & 2), LOTR Online, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth (1 & 2), Rise of Nations (and expansion), Starcraft, Titan Quest & Warcraft 3. But not Company of Heroes or Dragon Age. I don't know what algorithm it uses to detect games, but it clearly isn't all that up to date. It also missed: Diablo (all), Baldur's Gate (all), The Longest Journey, Star Wars: Empire At War, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Age of Mythology, Neverwinter Nights, Asheron's Call & Dune 2000. Not a huge annoyance, all you have to do is open the key profiler and create a new profile, and navigate to the game EXE, but it is interesting what it picked up, and what it missed.

The built in audio jack does a good job. It mutes the sound output to the hooked-up 5.1 sound system, and plays the sound only through the headphones you plug into the jack. The audio comes through quite clear, and the controls for muting it work as advertised. There is also a grouping of multi-media buttons in the upper right which CAN control your multi-media, if your multi-media understands the signals they send. They DON'T work with WinAmp or Corel's WinDVD (2010, don't know about earlier versions). They DO work with Windows Media Player (11, I cannot vouch for earlier versions) though. There is also a mute all button in that grouping, and a volume scroll wheel which only controls your plugged into headphone volume level, not Windows' volume level.

The built in microphone jack also works quite well. The button built to mute it works as advertised, and sound output from it is as good as when the mic is plugged into the main computer.

The built in USB port is terrible. The guide and the product documentation say the port should support up to 100 mA (that's milliamps) of power needs. In reality, it will beep at you with a horrible noise, and pop-up a message saying, "USB Hub Power Exceeded: The hub does not have enough power available to operate the USB Composite Device. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." See customer image I am posting for this product for a screen shot. It will give you this message for darn near anything. It refused to power my Logitech MX 510 mouse on 2 out of 3 tries (although, strangely, it powered my G5 easily, go figure). It flat out refused to power my cell phone's USB charging cable. It refused to power my Kingston 4GB DataTraveler (DTI/4GB) USB stick. The USB port is fairly underpowered, and as a result, it is basically useless... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars solid build, lots of configuration options, November 9, 2009

This review is from: Logitech Gaming Keyboard G110 (Personal Computers)
I bought this keyboard right when it came out. The first thing I noticed was the setup is basically like the G19 without the LCD. The build is solid. It is a fairly thin keyboard, compared to the bulkiness that added by keyboards with video panels.

Pros

- no ghosting in the wasd area or one key beside each
- no ghosting of the arrow keys
- many configurable buttons
- macro capability
- LED backlighting, blue - red and purple tones
- detachable palm rest
- USB and Audio jacks

Cons

- LED backlighting must be blue, red, or colors inbetween... no white.
- Long, might be a few more buttons than I will ever use.
