As a proud owner of the Logitech G15 (1st version – the 2nd version I hate because I can’t stand the orange backlighting), I was thrilled when I saw the designs for the G19 at CES earlier this year. Now the Logitech G19 is close to release, and the lucky folks at ExtremeTech took it for a spin to see how it performed, both as an everyday keyboard and as the gaming luxury it was designed to be.
The general conclusion? The G19 is an excellent keyboard, albeit overpriced at $199 MSRP. Yeah, that’s a lot of money to spend on a keyboard – there’s no doubt about that. But look at it! It’s so gorgeous…so beautiful…so…look at the blue keys…
Okay fine. I don’t think anyone but the most aggressive, rolling-in-money gamers (or those willing to part with their hard earned cash…like me) will find themselves picking this up when it’s released. But as the price slides down, Logitech may have a real winner on their hands – and they may even without.
Not just blue keys!
Any color you want!
