I like the USB port. Wish more keyboards had those. Those wheels are kinda neat too, but more of a gimmick imo.

I got lazy this time. That's a USB 3.0 pass through port too.

I bet they could sell more keyboards if they advertised it as having faster response times over USB 3.0.

I would never buy it, but for a gaming keyboard the features are appealing. I wouldn't mind if Filco/Leopold adopted some of the features, like the side ports.

The setting dials on top look terrible though.

But the board is not USB3, it's just a USB3 extension cable inside a KB that has it's own normal USB cable.

I love that type of spacebar

Clears too! Sweet! Not sure I like the placement of the passthrough ports next to macro keys. [strike]It's about time logitech gets on board![/strike] (edit)

I think it looks okay... would not buy though. Are the extra features detachable? Like the wrist rests and the macro dock? Also yeah I'd like to see a Logitech mech board.

Wrist rest yes, but the macro block looks molded in.

If we're going to start nitpicking. Look at the rounded corners around the function block. Those are Grand Canyon sized gaps.

ShakeR: Clears? Do you know something we don't? Both those reports says reds only. Also, what Logitech?

1. Yeah, check the video. They used the Clear Cherry GIFs in the Power Point. I'm not sure how reliable this is, but they ARE in the slide show.
2. I read Gigabyte and must have wanted to read Logitech... (long day). I really like Gigabyte mother boards though, so I'm optimistic about a GB keyboard

Yeah my Gigabyte G31M-ES2L has been an excellent hackintosh board. I wonder if that quality extends to their other stuff.
