Great keyboard - bad drivers
(4 out of 5) by Mr. A. J. Rayner on Oct 25, 2009 (Swindon, Wiltshire United Kingdom)I am running the Logitech G19 keyboard with Windows 7, the build quality is superb and without a doubt a lot of thought has gone into this product, but for £117 you expect the best, on the downside the drivers are bit naff to be honest, whilst playing WoW and Aion the system can lose the keyboard completely saying it doesnt reconise the USB device and you lose all the functions on the keyboard, you have to unplug and re-plug in to get it to work again, which is a bit of a pain if your in the middle of a raid or something, apart from that it work perfect in all other applications if Logitech can just iron out the driver issue with a few games they have a winner.

Terrific but why?
(3 out of 5) by M. Bonshor on Aug 25, 2009 (Bristol, UK)First, gotta say that I'm reviewing this from a Mac user's perspective so I apologise for not shouting the PC specific stuff which I'm sure is great.
This is a nice keyboard - if you use a Windows based PC. Unfortunately, despite the excellent pictures showing the "@" symbol in the right place (for Mac users) this keyboard is anything but Mac friendly, its basically a completely standard Windows PC keyboard with a small display, the software as it stands for the mac is.... patchy, it works yes but isn't very exciting, i cant really see the point in having a clock or a cpu usage monitor on your keyboard and why on earth would you want to play movie clips on such a tiny screen when you have a whopping great 20 or 30 inch display right in front of you?!, sorry - for me that doesn't make sense. I guess the extra keys on the left, which are programmable would be useful. The best feature of this keyboard however is the backlit keys which are very beautiful. Through software you can choose the colour for each of 3 profiles and I don't just mean they can be red green or blue, oh no, the colour can be anything - which is a very nice feature.
The keyboard is aimed at gamers but to be honest I can't find much that would make my game experience any better than it is already, as I said above, its a standard keyboard with a small display, wow.
I suspect teenagers would love it, its definitely a show-off bit of kit and yes your friends will be impressed but its of limited practical use, sorry!
