Logitech is always known for raising the bar when it comes to computer peripherals, today they are proving that once again there is room for improvement and possibilities. We are taking a look at the re-worked Logitech G15 Keyboard. At first glance there are a few big changes to this product the backlighting is no longer blue, it’s a shade of Amber. The second change is the LCD display, no longer using a fold up LCD, the shape of the G15 has been re-worked and the LCD is now always in a viewable position. The last major change the other G15 is the shape, by removing the many function keys and replacing them with one single row but three different modes we get all the function keys without having 18 keys on the keyboard.

Correction. The title, or more appropriately their title, should read, "Logitech G15 v2 Keyboard Review", as this is the revised G15 (and a crappy revision I might add).

Speaking of which, Logitech should be ashamed. This keyboard is more expensive than the original G15, yet has less keys, and it's fugly to look at when lit up. Orange. Pff.. fugly. However, two good things about this new revision is that the backlight is brighter when on full light setting, and it's smaller thanks to the removal of 12 function keys (you might think 2 inches smaller wasn't such a big deal, but it is when you start to run out of desktop real estate when all you have is your mouse pad and keyboard covering the whole damn thing).
