Last updated Dec 1, 2018 1,223

Today I want to talk about the top of the range for what concerns the Logitech keyboards designed and produced exclusively for gaming: the Logitech G19S Gaming Keyboard.

The first thing you notice looking at the keyboard, is the presence of a small LCD screen that offers many features and interesting alternative to the user; alternatives that we will discover in more detail below.

The keyboard is backlighting and you can customize the lighting with the desired colors. There are 12 function keys, which become 36 unique functions per game and 3 macro mode that can be activated with the push of a button. Each macro can have a custom color, in order to understand a single glance which mode you are.

Very pretty is the presence of a switch that allows it to enter the game. What is the game mode? For anyone who happened to play the PC is definitely happened to find himself in front of the desktop in the middle of an important moment of their game.

This can happen because of the whims of the system, or because you accidentally pressed the ” Windows ” key, but no matter, using the Logitech G19S Gaming Keyboard and activating the game mode this does not happen again, and nothing can interrupt you in your climb record! The back of the keyboard has two USB ports, so that we can connect any device, maybe even just for a refill! It came the time to get to the highlight of this keyboard: the LCD display.

While this small monitor located at the top of the keyboard allows functions rather useless, like looking at photos or videos, gaming enthusiast to the other gives way to keep an eye on the ram and processor consumption, temperatures, game statistics and other information on the game. Everything is easily accessible thanks to a small pad that allows you to navigate the display menu, which among other things can be rotated at will.

Caution! : To turn the LCD screen must be connected to external keyboard, it will not be enough power alone the USB socket.

Certainly, remains an alluring to those who do not want to do unless you have everything under control. The Logitech Gaming Panel is already compatible with more than 60 games, including the most famous, for the full list, just click here. From the point of view of usability and ergonomics, we must say that there are pros and cons. The presence of the function keys, all located on the left side of the keyboard, the keyboard is quite normal in size, but the keys are not too large, so take some time to get used to it.

Both the keyboard and the palm rest (optional) are treated with water-repellent material, in order not to be sticky in the ” furious ” game actions. The Logitech G19S Gaming Keyboard is designed not to collect fingerprints, though from this point of view, perhaps something could be done better.
