What A Keyboard – Logitech G15

Probably any of you out there who still play PC games like me, know that ‘keyboard’ is one very important peripheral. In terms of what? How about speed or response. Probably also you guys know about Logitech brand who makes a lot of gadgets for PC users. Well the other day, after so long of waiting I decided to get one of those high end gaming keyboard. Satisfied? Off course!

So I got this G15 version 2 keyboard by Logitech a week ago. Now whats so interesting about it? Why is it a gaming keyboard u might ask.

Logitech, please tell us about the Keyboard.

“Good intel and the proper gear are the keys to victory, even in gaming. The Logitech G15 keyboard keeps you informed and outfitted to win.

With the Logitech-exclusive GamePanel LCD, you can easily find out what server your friends are using to play Battlefield 2142, or receive notification when your World of Warcraft battleground becomes available. You can even identify who’s speaking in Ventrilo. Create useful macros on the fly and play them back with a single press of a G-key. Illuminated characters allow you to play late into the night.”

The Logitech G15 gives you a winning advantage, and everyone knows it’s more fun when you win.

We will take a brief trip across the keyboard and I will point out the features. Starting with the left side of the G15 keyboard we see a vertical row of keys which are labeled G1 through G6. Just above the these are four horizontal keys that are labeled M1, M2, M3, and MR. All ten buttons are used together to give up to 18 different functions. Through the Logitech G15 software you can assign marco’s (A series of commands and procedures that are carried out in response to a single command or keystroke, or identified by a single name) to do tasks for you while either in a game or working at the desktop. This is very handy if you have certain applications that you like to use a lot, a single button press can start up the program and do other actions. Continuing across the top there is a silver switch that has a old style gaming joystick on it. No its not so you can play your old Atari games, its even better than that. It will disable the dreaded “Windows Key” (You heard me M$).

Well there lots of interesting feature on this keyboard which im so lazy to type. But here is a link if you want to read the review about it. [link]

Out of all the features the most that I love is that the keyboard has this bright Orange lit on every buttons. Because of I am a nocturnal human, I usually work or play games during night in my Dark Room. So having this light on keyboard seems to be very helpful.

And also there is one mod that you can do with this keyboard. I call it, “Dancing light”?. Basically, when you play your favourite song on Winamp for example, they light on keyboard beat to the music. Yey! I made this simple movie using my handphone cam, so sorry for the bad quality. Enjoy. Btw the song is from DJ Tiesto.
