Excellent keyboard for games and general PC applications

When G15 refresh is as the name suggests is a "remake" of the gaming keyboards made by Logitech. I would note that I have used (with folding screen) is also the first "old" model of the G15 and also was very pleased with this first version. I sold my first G15 then only because of the migration from desktop to a notebook. Mitlerweile I play my video games due to the fast "performance decay" of the hardware due to the rapid advances in the gaming industry back on a desktop. With the purchase I buy due to the fact that the G15 with display was no longer available, the G11 (G15 without display).

Since the G11 because of daily use (food, drink and negligent damage caused by pins, scissors and Co) no longer seemed quite fresh, I looked around for a new keyboard. Because of my profession due to my penchant for keyboards with flat or semi-flat keys I searched intensively for a suitable game keyboard with flat keys. Since I had from lack of confidence to Razer (Doubt and taste such as ATI or Nvidia gg?) Not much choice much my attention to the SideWinder X4 Microsoft. Unfortunately, I realized that this keyboard due to the inappropriate for my needs Handgelenkauflage was very "uncomfortable". So, I decided in the end but again for me a familiar Logitech keyboard with usual long and comfortable pad.

I have to say the G15 as a refresh has been able to meet my expectations again.
The amended LED illumination of the buttons (blue fill now Orange LEDs) like me and my eyes noticeably better. The keyboard has received some warm and pleasant because of this design change. The blue was a little too cool for my feelings. As a little note, according to research results, it is exhausting to the human eye proven moderation here for example to deal with the visual processing of the blue buttons. The bright orange entlasstet eyes and it shows in my opinion, very well in heavy use. Even though I now not just see often on the keyboard lighting is really top. If these do not like the lighting quite exhibit or switch from maximum brightness to "medium".

Further to say is that I have to ask myself how I only ever on the PC work and play could without the display. And I can see that now in particular by the altered display as opposed to the old model, something small and immobile but with better resolution. It is at the beginning really just a nice gimmick and probably. even if you have never had an easy a small toy. But the more you order works and possibly the easy-to-install "applets" for the display downloads with innumerable more or less useful features such as the display of weather, time zones, PC information such as power and temperature, TS3 or 2, game information like server kill, death and Stats and and and and and ... countless FREE applets are very easy accessible for everyone to find and download via standard pages. It's really great fun. And let's face it who once gechecked his mail while waiting for the respawn on the screen, RSS feeds ransacked or even fix the TS channel has changed or has kicked over the display a pesky players will no longer want to give up.

The multimedia buttons (Forward, Backward, Stop, Volume Up, Volume Down, Play / Pause) are this time arranged around the display and form a harmonic frame around the display. Personally, I like this better, is alledings matter of taste.

The macro buttons (G-Keys) has been reduced to a manageable number of 6 and offer the possibility of programming 3 levels which can be obtained for a total of 18 macros. Between levels can be easily and quickly switch (1 keystroke) and the uptake of new macros can be even in the game quickly and easily make.

Also this keyboard has again a key for the disabling the Windows key to a Being Trapped kicked out of a game in progress to avoid the desktop. Possibly for casual gamers a nice thing. I myself have not accidentally hit this button for years but. Generally lie especially in the game Logitech keyboards the keys still far enough apart to be very convenient and intuitive operated.

The pressure point of the keys is as usual pleasant (perhaps for people who previously keyboards or other one probably even flat keys were used to getting used to), and neither too tight nor too vague. Unlike the G15 in the old version and the G11 but become deffinitiv slightly stiffer but what I find very pleasant person. Generally the keys wobble very slightly and make the entire keyboard as otherwise a very high-quality impression.

In conclusion I will say that a change in the existing age-G15 is not absolutely necessary, in favor of the "new" features or rather changes but certainly is a good thing - provided the wherewithal.

For transfer passengers who for the first time after a game keyboard look deffinitiv a very good and more than adequate entry-level model which (thanks to the good quality of Logitech) certainly should ensure joy for several years.

Generally, however, remains to be said that one the keyboards if you do not already about about the products and knows or has used Vorgändermodelle rather should try first. Either in store or within 14 days return the money back guarantee. But please the keyboard then do not "abuse" the one or the other board is simply a matter of taste and everyone has different preferences there!
