 Great keys/volume wheel, Bad USB/palm rest August 10, 2010
I wanted a wired keyboard with a volume dial. I hate keyboards with volume +/- buttons and find this wheel operates very smoothly and is intuitively placed on the top right. There's some mixed messages on Amazon and elsewhere on what audio is being controlled when you scroll the volume wheel. From my experience, whether I plug in headphones into the 3.5mm audio port on the keyboard or not, the wheel controls my Windows 7 system volume, not any application volume like in itunes or wmp.
I found the feel of the keys very nice; not too rigid, not too soft. I appreciate the full-sized F-keys column since I press (Alt-)F4 and Escape alot. I initially kept hitting G1 instead of Escape since I'm use to just smacking the top left to get Escape and I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it after being brainwashed all my life. I don't play any game that would really make use of the G-keys, but I did map them to common folders and files that I use constantly. I wish the logitech software (LGCcore.exe) didn't use 24MB of RAM just for me to use the G-keys though. The LEDs are pretty neat. I keep it on blue to match the rest of my system, but as others have noted, Red is the brightest. The tab and caps lock aren't completely lit though. Those 2 keys require a slightly larger LED since they take up 3 rows of text, but Logitech just used the same LED for every key. There's a button to turn off the LEDs if that annoys you.
I was disappointed in the usb 2.0 port. The specs say low-powered or self-powered peripherals only since the keyboard iteself is only usb-powered, but I tried a usb to Iphone connection anyway just to check. I got a message saying power was exceeded. Expected. I tried a usb thumb drive next expecting that to work, but it didn't. Only my mouse was able to use the usb port.
The feet and the plastic palm rest are flimsy, poorly implemented, and seem like an after-thought. The palm rest does not fully snap into place. If you lift it, the palm rest will rotate down and I snapped the palm rest of out place a few times by lifting and setting it back on my desk.
I'm overall satisfied with the G110 as it feels good to type on and the volume wheel is easy to use which was my main concern.
Good gaming keyboard August 2, 2010
Excellent keyboard, as usual with most Logitech products. I bought it mainly for the backlit keys for late night gaming and the audio/USB ports, which I use with the Logitech G330 headset. Two very convenient features and well worth the price. The keyboard at first felt a little cramped compared to my old one but I got used to the position of the keys within a few days. Also keys felt a bit mushy at first but all is well now. Takes a little time to get used to it. I really like all three default colors for the backlighting - red (my favorite), blue and purple. They are just bright enough to see and not too distracting, exactly what I was looking for. The volume control is another great feature, its a scroll wheel rather than the usual minus and plus keys. Ive only used the G keys on one game, Borderlands and they do seem to speed up routine keys I use most. Overall very happy with my purchase and recommended for all PC gamers.
Love the programable Keys! July 28, 2010
Nice feel, custom blacklighting colors, each programmable key has up to three functions. The only thing I dislike is that it does not remember the active M-key (which of the three custom key sets you are using)between reboots. I have not used the built-in microphone and headset jacks. Has held up to lots of use!
 Sent mine back for ergonomic reasons July 27, 2010
I bought one of these keyboards because I also own a Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard with Backlighting which I REALLY like. I wanted something similar but more geared for gaming. I am very particular about ergonomics on keyboards and mice -- they have to fit me perfectly in function, layout, rapid adaptability, etc. As such, I wound up sending this Logitech backlit gaming keyboard back for a refund 10 minutes after opening the box (I never even installed the drivers or powered it up).
Reason? Several things:
1.) The keyboard is too long, left to right, due to the gaming macro keys on the left side. They should have made those keys half size so they could be in a single row that takes up less space.
2.) The legs on the keyboard do NOT raise it enough. I had the same problem with my beloved Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard with Backlighting and solved it by fabricating a couple of clear plastic legs which I attached to the underside of the KB using double sided sticky tape. Elevates the keyboard perfectly (about 2" in the back) and looks great as well. This gaming keyboard will NOT allow me to do that due to the form factor -- it has a bulge extending outward in the front around the space bar that would cause the keyboard to rock side to side on my desktop if I was to raise it more than the integrated legs allow. Not acceptable. It NEEDS to be at enough of a tilt that I can see the illuminated keys even if I am slouching in my chair (which I do a lot) and not have to purposefully sit up to see the keys.
3.) The build construction seemed a little flimsy -- the keyboard perceptibly bowed in the center when I pressed on it while it was standing on its legs. It should be rock solid like a 2X4 (especially during hot 'n heavy FPS gaming sessions).
4.) I didn't like the keys. Too much travel. I want a light touch on my keys. Like my Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard with Backlighting :)
So, overall -- I don't want to diss this keyboard; I am sure it will work out for others who are not as picky about fine ergonomic details. It's just not for me.
it's ok, but July 16, 2010
Unless it was totally dark the keys were not bright enough and a little to bight and the keys were to shiny even read.
Fail.
