Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard Box View

Stay on top of your game. The Logitech G11 gaming keyboard features blue-backlit characters, 18 programmable G keys, and convenient media control buttons so you can play all night long. Create custom macros for your games and access them with a single keystroke. Reduce clutter by routing cables through the convenient under-keyboard channels. Swap gaming controls easily by plugging into the two full-speed USB ports. And never worry about getting dropped out of the action if you press the Windows key; the built-in Gaming Mode switch disables it with one touch.

The Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard is a pared-down version of the higher-end G15 model. The only differences are the lack of a built-in LCD screen and, accordingly, the price. The G11 goes for $70, while the G15 is $100, at least according to Logitech's official pricing. Real-world numbers skew lower. We don't recommend this keyboard for nongamers, but we do recommend it for its level of customization and its backlighting. If only it were a little smaller.
With this keyboard, Logitech effectively gives you 54 keys to make your own. We say "effectively" because in addition to the standard 104 keys, Logitech gives you 18 extra G keys, along with three profile-switcher buttons that you toggle between three different custom G-key layouts. Those extra keys come at a price, though. The G11 measures 21.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep. By way of comparison, Dell's current default keyboard measures 17.5 inches wide by 6.25 inches deep.

The G11 has a few features that have more universal, nongamer appeal. Two old-school USB 1.1 ports on the back let you add peripherals that don't require the extra juice or bandwidth of USB 2.0. We also like the slider that lets you disable the Switch to Windows button common to most modern PC keyboards. It's designed to prevent you from accidentally porting yourself out of a game, but it could also come in handy during day-to-day use. Finally, a set of media control buttons at the top of the G11 work with most common media applications--Windows Media Player, iTunes, WinAmp, and others. The blue backlighting also looks cool and will benefit those who like to play in the dark.

This is a very nice keyboard and has served me well for over 6 months, the blue lights really help out if the lights are out and trying to find the keys and the possibilities with the side buttons are endless. The only thing that gets me is the usb ports can't handle much the only thing it could handle was a mouse anything else a window would pop up saying the hub is out of power.

Good little unit. It does the job and allows me to frag my buddies in the FPS we play more frequently than the off the shelf keybaord I was using before. 2 thumbs up.

Good keyboard whether you game or not
I love the tactile feel of the board when using the keys. They have a very good feel to them. The fact that the keys light up is a bonus. Although if you aren't viewing the keys almost right over the top of them, reading the keys are a little off since the backlighting doesn't light up the whole character like I feel it should. But for the most part the lighting of the keys does it's job. As for the G keys, they are pretty cool if you are a gamer. You can assign a keystroke, a macro, or a shortcut to the keys. Probably the main reason I gave this keyboard a 4 of 5 and not a 5 star rating is because you can't assign a series of letters or words to the G keys. What I mean is, I would like to be able to assign my email address to a G key or a password or user id that I use alot to a G key. But as far as I can tell you can't do that. A pretty big shortcoming if you ask me. Now if I'm wrong and you can do this, then I definately apologize and this keyboard is worthy of a 5 star rating. As for gaming though, this keyboard is great. Great response time and good customization. Overall, I would definately recommend this keyboard, shortcomings or not.

Exceeds expectations
I just recently bought the G11 to replace an old Microsoft keyboard i owned. I was looking at backlit models from several different companies and i kept coming back to this one. To put it simply: i made the right choice. This keyboard is amazing, even typing on this keyboard feels better than any other keyboard i've tried. As for the backlight, when other lights are on in the room, its kind of dim, but when all the lights are off, its plenty bright even on the dimmer setting. And in normal light, the keys are still easy to read without the backlight. As i've only used this keyboard for less than an hour i don't know about any long term defects, but if i encounter any i'll post to this review. Overall, this is one of the best keyboards for the money you can get.
