I was for many years an avid user of the Logitech G15, which has made me faithful service. So I was delighted when the G19 was announced, in which I would one my successor hoped that the G15 was not refresh in my eyes. For weeks I've been waiting and now I have finally stand on my desk. In direct comparison with the G15, the G19 is a little narrower, but not much smaller, there are about two centimeters. The layout of the keys is almost exactly the same, only there are now 18 instead of only 12 G-keys, which is in my eyes but perfectly adequate. Another small difference is that, a "bevel" is on the front of the keyboard in the field where the ball of your hand come to lie, seen from above. This means that below the two Ctrl keys, the end of the keyboard as the G15 over the entire width equal to is no longer the same width, but at the aforementioned point somewhat narrower. This is a clear improvement, as you so no longer abuts the heel of your hand on the keyboard. (Assuming you are not a friend of the palm rest; I'm not.) The next thing I noticed in the eye was the processing, which is much better actually than the G15, where it already really was indeed no reason to complain. The keystrokes are more precise, the sound of the keys comfortable, its surface slightly matt and grippy and the materials around the keys act quality. Also are now at the bottom slip firmer coverings and a Logitech plaque made of stainless steel on the front of the device is further enhanced. When G15 has been often criticized that the USB ports are not really useful because they only support USB 1.1. This has been fixed in the G19; Now there are two full-fledged USB 2.0 ports, which, thanks to the own network portion of the keyboard, but that is not bulky in size, always be supplied with sufficient power. Very convenient! Highlight of the keyboard is of course the LCD display, the quality of which is simply breathtaking. One can believe that the high price mainly occurs because there ago. The quality of images and videos is better than my iPhone! Of course, you could argue about the usefulness of a keyboard that can display images and videos, but the function is entertaining in any case, and the more useful programs such as clock and game data there are still. Another significant Verbersserung the G15 is the ability to self-determine the color of the buttons. Each profile can be assigned its own tone and then changes with the press of M1 to M3, the color in the entspechend Discontinued. At the upper right end is now a newly added Come scroll wheel for volume control, which is better to use in my eyes than the Tellerad the G15, which was loose after a while. The macros can be as usual in the game selbs taufzeichnen, but also via the separate program. This feature I use not so much, but for people who need such as many macros in WoW, this is perfect - specially for this game is even a set of ready-made macros onboard software. All in all, the best keyboard on the market, even if the price is high clear. But as with all top-quality products, it is so that the price of the really best product does not increase linearly even here the rest of the products on the market. The price of PC peripherals like many people be too much, but who claims to possess the best keyboard in the world, this sum can confidently spend.
