Tough; comfy keyboard with a fine aux display

No headphone/mic jacks; costs crazy bucks

Yes, $189 bucks (you can't take it with you) is alot to pay for a keyboard. If you are writing emails, YouTubing, MS Office geeking or any thing that could probably be done on a Pentium II then this isn't the keyboard for you.

At the end of the day, this is what you ask your friends, 'But can your keyboard play videos?' This is the Logitech G19, and it's one heck of a keyboard.

User-configurable backlighting; Intuitive creation of powerful macros; Vibrant and responsive LCD display; Backwards-compatible with G15 apps; Open SDK for developers; Powered USB 2.0 hub built-in; Supports any six simultaneous keypresses; Gaming Mode disables the Windows key

High MSRP; AC adapter hates vertical power strips; Limited backlighting brightness; Cable routing is ineffective when the G19 is propped up; Keys are responsive; but aren't mechanical in design

The Logitech G19 is an interesting beast at its heart; a great functioning keyboard with an ample amount of features designed for multi-taskers and gamers built around a beautiful color LCD.
