The LCD that surely accounts for a big piece of its heavenly price tag just isn't very useful.


Highs: Programmable G-keys; customizable backlighting; integrated media-player controls; two powered USB ports

Lows: LCD isn't all that useful; mushy keyboard action; expensive

Where to buy:

Introduction

Gamers form highly personal attachments to their keyboards and mice, because finding the perfect peripheral can favorably impact the ratio between triumphant victories and humiliating defeats. After all, if you’re dropping several grand on a new gaming PC, or even several hundred to upgrade the one you have, doesn’t it make sense to also buy an accessory that can give you an edge on the latest interactive blockbuster?

However, for discerning players, we’re not sure Logitech’s G19 is the right choice when it comes to cutting-edge keyboards. The device comes loaded with features, including an integrated color LCD that must account for a big chunk of its (gulp!) $200 price tag. But that fancy display doesn’t amount to much more than conspicuous bling. In addition, we’ve also pounded many a board that felt a lot better under our mitts than this one, and sell for a fraction of the price.
