Got Logitech G110 for my birthday.

[Wopian]

Hi guys, this is my first review so yeah...(as of 4pm today also in review section too)

My parents got me this keyboard for my 15th birthday - apparently they got it 4 weeks ago (a week before I mentioned about getting the Filco Majestouch 2 w/ WASD modified keycaps.

Ok, first off, looks: This keyboard actually looks sleek with the tall caps (not slim like so many other rubber dome gaming keyboards). The LEDS, although only limited between red, purple, blue and black varients look rather nice overal with 3 buttons to change to set colours from the program you need to download - also nice and easy to use. And with only one obvious branding logo on the keyboard (excluding the engraved logitech logo on the wrist rest) it's a very clean looking board.

Functionality: The wrist rest was a bit of a pain to attach, until I found out one of the clips wasn't attaching properly causing it to fall off when I placed it down. The keys are rather soft for a rubber dome and was unexpected at this. Keycaps are non-glary and a balance between smooth and grippy. As like most keyboards, the keys are positioned differently, mostly because of the G-keys which I keep pressing and making the windows fullscreen as that seems to be the default. Currently I press 'a' instead of 's' - quite annoying while typing this

The font used on the keycaps are easy to read and don't look ugly *cough*.

My only problem so far is the two ctrl keycaps are oddly shaped and the area in which I normal press the key just happens to not exist, as there is a corner cut off. The spacebar also seems to be making a sqeaking noise now.

Typing: Once I get around to working on one of my sites.

Gaming: Soon, whenever I manage to fit a quick session of something today.

Now for some lovely pictures of the keyboard.

The box.


Keys lit up blue - faint colours because it was taken with me blocking the light on the keyboard


The 12 G-keys with the oddly shapped ctrl key.




Overal look of keyboard - minus the numberpad which got cut off


...and the numberpad with volume control.


My current workstation as of now with my trusty keyboard that's lasted me a good few several million key presses above. (Graphics tablet out of shot)

I used to use that keyboard before I my Filco's and Race.

If you only consider rubber-dome keyboards, it is actually a pretty decent board. And I found that they were pretty soft compared to other rubber-domes (but they got nothing on cherry red's ).

But it is obviously going to be not anywhere near as good as any mechanical.

The LEDs and Macro keys were pretty good. And I found that the software for it was also pretty nifty. But not nifty enough to keep it .

All that aside, Happy Birthday Bro =D.
Hope you had a good birthday.
But I doubt the cake was anywhere near as good as Alessandro's masterpieces .

Happy Birthday

Well at least it's better than some other rubber domes out there

I know this may sound a bit impolite(?) to the giver but if I were you, it'd offload it to someone else and put what I get from it towards a fancy set of keycaps or another mechanical keyboard...

how do you know this is "better" than some other rubber domes out there?

I've only tried the Logitech keyboards briefly in a store, but with its bells and whistles aside, it just feels less flimsy than my friend's Razer Lycosa... And I've been bugging him to no end to get a mechanical keyboard.

I'll keep it. When I get the Filco (they'll probably wonder why when I already have these two) in a few months, this keyboard will be a good keyboard when my mum is in the other room as she sadly doesn't like noisy keyboards as such.
And if you're wondering what keycaps: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39905.0 Rough colour check of what it'll look like. Although black will be blacker (only so I could still locate the letters) and dark grey will be lighter.

G110 owner here. Not a bad keyboard at all, though I find Logitech keyboards have small keys for my taste. If not for that issue, I might not have decided to go mechanical

Yeah noticed that when I first tried it out this morning: Skipping keys and pressing the key to the left and completely missing the shift key and pressing G11... Don't do it as often now after 2 hours of typing on and off on it.
