Logitech G19

$200.00 Released March, 2009

The Pros:Backlit. Full colour LCD screen displays system information, game statistics or the time. Can disable Windows key from disrupting gameplay.

The Cons:Very expensive for a keyboard. AC power cord increases cabling and could be logistics problem when keyboard is used at unfamiliar location. Not that innovative over the G15 or Razer brand keyboards.

Introduced at CES 2009, the G19 is a high end gaming keyboard from Logitech. Featuring a tiltable full colour LCD screen with a resolution of 320x240 and its own controls, the G19 can display statistics about your system, the time of day, a custom background or even YouTube videos.

The keyboard also features less flashy gamer-class features, such as 12 fully programmable macro keys that can complete up to 36 complex actions, media keys, a game mode that disables the Windows key, a backlight for playing in the dark and multi-key input - which allows the keyboard to respond to up to 5 key presses at a time. The G19 also features two powered USB 2.0 ports for use with any peripherals or mobile devices that require charging. Priced at $199.99, the G19 will ship sometime in March.
