Do you play MMO’s and type a lot in the dark? I remember many a late night playing any number of MMO’s and not being able to see the keyboard because I had the lights turned down. Enter the G15 Logitech keyboard. One of Logitech’s line of gamer keyboards in the G series the G15 features programmable buttons, a LCD and light up keys on the keyboard.  

My experience with this keyboard started several months ago and I am very pleased to report it was worth the money I spent on it. It really lights up the keys and though I don’t look for a key very often I can find the one I need when I need it. The best thing about the keyboard is the light up keys because each key lights up. I won another light up keyboard in a contest and it lights up between the keys. It makes it so hard to see the keys it really makes it harder to find a key in low light conditions.

I have to say now I have never used the programmable buttons. I suppose I could map some emotes to them but then I would have to remember which is which and I just don’t have the drive to use them. I suppose they could be removed and I wouldn’t even notice. The LCD is cool and auto switches to the function your using at the time. If I were to control the sound on the keyboard it switches the volume level and I can see how much volume is set. If you are playing a game it has stats from that game displayed.  Pretty useful as many of the games I play are supported. Another useful feature is the windows key on/off function. If you hit the windows key while playing a game you know you go back to windows. Not with the G15 as you can turn off the windows key!

The keyboard also has three levels of backlight so you can turn off the backlight if you want to scan your system and go the bed and leave the computer running.

I am giving the G15 five stars as it’s a useful item and I like its features. It also makes you look smarter when typing to your MMO players so that is always good.
