Cons: LCD screen can be hard to program for.macro keys are to far away from left side of the keyboard to be any use to a game other then a turn based or MMO style game.
Pros: nice feel on all keysvery customizableMacro buttons (although i don't use them much.)disable windows key is a nice feature.Most G15 Applets work on this keyboard with no issues. Comment:
Upgraded from a Saitek Eclipse. After two years of use there are no ware marks on any of my gaming keys. unlike the saitek. i couldn't even see the letters anymore on the gaming keys.the only game i use the macro keys for is Diablo III as the entire top set of keys is perfect for a few spells that are used.I am able to monitor everything from temps and fan speeds to network stats and volume lvls.over all a very nice keyboard. |

Cons: spacebar consistently double spacesheadphone jack not so great quality for music
Pros: looks goodhas useful media keys Comment:
I have owned a G15 since the mid-90's and I have never had an issue with it. For the price of the G510, I was expecting the same quality. I thought that it was just me, but after doing a quick google search "g510 spacebar issue," it appears that the spacebar on this keyboard is horribly designed and it will quite often register two keystrokes when pressing it, resulting in many double spaces that I have to keep backspacing. It's a well documented issue with no apparent fix to it, and I'm surprised that none of the other reviewers here have noticed or mentioned it. This keyboard feels very cheap compared to the old G15, for the price that I paid, I would expect at the very least to get the basic functionality of a $5 keyboard out of it. Logitech has been going downhill lately. |

Cons: take a lot of spacemacro key are a bit to close to usual keyboards key
Pros: good responsehaving up to 54 macros mic and headset plug in on the keyboardLCD screen (need to download applet for optimal use) Comment:
I already pass a few hours programming my keyboard and so far i love it.I can put some app on the LCD screen (fraps - for frame rate, core temps - for core temperature and mny more)the only cons i see, its the keyboard take a lot of spaceand the macros keys are a bit to close to the general keys, but at the same time if they were no that close the keyboard would have been bigger.So far i love it |

Cons: Almost none only problem which I consider not much a problem because of the macro keys keyboard is longer than standard it takes a while to get used to it a specially "esc" button when gaming and stuff. I had it almost a month now I am already used to it(I dont think it should take more than 1 or 2 months to get used to)
Pros: Nice feeling when u are typing with keyboardblack-light: you change it to any color you want and thx to macro profiles u can save 3 of them change instantly whenever you want Comment:
Macro keys nice but personally I don't think they make much a difference when gaming. There is a lot of space between macro keys and they are little far from "w-a-s-d" and tab is on right so you really cant really use them in game. If you need more keys for gaming I would slide your "w-a-s-d" to "e-s-d-f" or get a mouse with more keys. LCD screen so far I haven't downloaded any apps for it but default apps other than volume(u can see volume bar on LCD when volume is changed), I haven't found useful. There might be really good apps. On the other hand macro keys have been really useful when I am programming I saved some macros on it it helps quite a bit.This is kind of a keyboard you need to spend time on it. If you actually put real effort on setting up macros, downloading apps and stuff, you will really fall in love with this keyboard. If you just wanna plug and play and hope macro keys and lcd will help you in gaming, you would just waste your money I would advice a cheaper keyboard. |

Cons: way too many wrongs, if you have used the old g11, do not upgrade.
Pros: solid, good key stroke. Comment:
i bought this because i gave up my old z10 for z906, thus i lost the LCD screen display all the computer info. so i upgraded my g11 to this keyboard. -keyboard is too high-some of the keys are not functioning well. if pressed very slow and light, it won't register as a key-stroke. so i had to wait for a week for a new one, which is much better after Logitech gave me a new one.-old g11 gave a bit space between the g keys and normal keys, so i can tell just by feeling. g510 does not, the space is too little. i know it's just a bit, but still not use friendly. -why and why the media control in at the right corner? if i'm browsing a web site or doing w/e, i had to reach all the way to the top right corner with my left hand, or stop using the mouse and try to use the media control. -usb headphone and mic slots are useless. when u plug in the slot, it will restart the keyboard. for what reason i do not know. then you have to go to your speaker set up to choose the keyboard usb in order to use it. complete useless if you just want to use a headphone for a bit. there are so much more, but i kept wondering, why logitech can build a remarkable keyboard g11, and this g11 upgrade-g510 is suppose to be better. boy, was i wrong. a good keyboard if you never used g11 or any gaming grade keyboard you liked. but if you did, do not think this is better than the current one you own. because it isn't |

Cons: single level angle adjustment wish there was one more levelKeyboard is longer then what im used to i guess its like this to hold the extra 21 keys
Pros: changeable color LED lighted keys.LCD display is cool can have multiple options for this. Comment:
Upgraded to this keyboard from a Office pro keyboard from like 8 years ago hopefully this one will last as long or longer. Price was a little more than what i wanted to pay for a key board but i figured it was on sale and its the holidays right :-) but either way im happy with this. I might not get this same model next time if i needed to, but still a very good keyboard. |

Cons: Keys are very mushy and took a bit of getting used to. Thought they'd be better coming from a $20 Microsoft keyboard. Single level on/off for keyboard backlighting. Would NOT buy the keyboard at full retail price and I'd even think twice about buy this keyboard at all... see summary.
Pros: Macro keys for gaming and various tasks. I'm using them to launch applications. Comment:
Mac users: - There are drivers for the LCD panel but they're buggy and won't initialize the LCD all the time especially waking up from sleep mode. The LCD defaults to displaying "G510." - The keyboard takes time to "boot up" and thus you CANNOT select a boot drive when your Mac starts. Holding down the Alt key does nothing. Keep this in mind if you intend to do any dual-booting with Boot Camp partitions.- I'm using USB Overdrive to enable the media control keys for iTunes and the volume/mute control. Without USB Overdrive those keys will not work. |

Cons: - keystrokes don't feel smooth in my opinion but i'm sure it just takes some getting use to- Expensive if it's not on sale
Pros: -LCD screen is cool-Backlit keys are great-18 Programmable keys is as many as one would want-Great feel,comfortable Comment:
I picked up this keyboard for $80 and is very much worth that I am not sure if it's worth the regular price of $120 though. I had a logitech Wave before this and this is quite a step up from that one with all the customization that is possible.Highly recommended for $80 |

Cons: Not enough LCD applets
Pros: Backlight (any color)Macro KeysLCD ScreenBuild Quality Comment:
Purchased this last year and this keyboard is honestly the best you can purchase without going mechanical. It isn't over the top like the G19, but it is definitely better than the G110. It allows you to choose whatever color you want for backlight which is nice and even. There are plenty of macro keys and a few memory keys to multiply the amount of macro keys (M1 has one set of macro keys, pushing M2 changes the macro keys to another set, etc.) The build quality is exceptional and the LCD works great if you know what you want on it.LCD applets work well but there aren't many. I used it with AIDA64 for system information which is natively supported. |

Cons: I haven't found one yet
Pros: Save your profiles on the keyboard and take it with you.Pick your backlight colour Comment:
I bought the G510 as a direct replacement for my aging G15.Seamless transition from my G15, the keyboard even imported my existing profiles.I could not be happier. |

Cons: - Keyboard lighting could be brighter (be nice to have 2 or 3 brightness stages)- keys feel kind of cheap (maybe it's just me not sure)
Pros: - Customizable LCD display- Macro keys and options for multiple macro key profiles- USB sound card (mic and headphone jacks on keyboard)- multimedia controls are nice and volume wheel is awesome and responsive- various backlight color choices (mixtures or red, green, and blue)- fairly quiet key strokes Comment:
Overall I am happy with this keyboard. It looks cool on my desk and feels good to use. I wouldn't want to type and essay on this but it feels good as a gaming keyboard. From the mic & headphone jacks to the responsive volume wheel I really to find this satisfies my needs. The LED screen also interacts with many programs (ie. Fraps, Hwinfo, etc...) and comes with some of it's own applets to display useful info while you're in game.I haven't tried a mechanical keyboard yet but I'd say they are likely worth giving a thought if you do alot of typing. Based on how this one feels I wouldn't want to type a story on this keyboard. Anyways, not a bad buy imo. Could be better and could be worse. This review was modfied by poster @ 04-29-12 05:28 PM |

Cons: Lighting could be a bit brighter but the design of this is each letter is lit up rather than the keyboard itself so this is not really a con.
Pros: Key feel good. Lighting is okay. Software is good. Built in Sound card is awesome. Comment:
Very good keys. Feel good to type with. Much the same as my old G15 but with one very cool and working feature.... The onboard sound. All I have to do is plug in my earphones and it will switch off my z5500 Logitech sound system and come through the headphones. Mic works as well. Just unplug and your system comes back on. This was the main reason I bought this keyboard and it works exactly as I thought it would. |

Cons: -Spacebar does not register when pressed sometimes, this is a common problem with this keyboard
Pros: -Looks great, completely customizable colours-Not loud whatsoever-Backlit keys-Decent media controls-Ridiculous amount of macro keys Comment:
Bought this when I wrecked my G15 right after it had gone off of the market. It get's the job done and it looks great. Matches my case colour and mouse so it really does complete the setup. The number of macro keys is crazy and I'm sure they could be useful for some games. |

Cons: I can't think of one...
Pros: This is an absolutely AWESOME keyboard. I love all the programable G keys and multimedia features. It's light and easy to use anywhere, for instance on my lap as I game. Comment:
Quite simply, one of the best gaming keyboards on the market. I like the overall feel of the board as it is light b ut very well constructed. Plus, the pre-programed profiles are a real asset as well. |

Cons: - Had boot problems with motherboard, needed to unplug/replug to get it running every time on a boot- Can't get into bios
Pros: - Feels good- Lots of macro keys Comment:
For an expensive gaming keyboard, I am very disappointed with it. There are couple of problems, all related to incompatibility with motherboards, my Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 is one of them. Just search "G510 boot problem", it's a well known issue that has yet to be resolved.1. On every boot into windows, the keyboard would enter a state where the back light and LCD are on, but nothing displays on LCD. Keyboard is completely non-functional until you unplug and replug it.2. Cannot enter bios, keyboard appears off and unresponsive when attempting to enter.3. Dramatically slowed down start up. Computer would be stuck at POST screen for a long time. This problem PERSISTS even after you replace the keyboard with another one, until you power off the motherboard completely (by pulling the power cable).Gigabyte MB users, be warned. For others, you are not safe either as I have seen other complaint with similar problems on forums, buy at your own risk. |

Cons: Software is a little bit complicated to use for beginners.Can't see the keys easily without the backlighting.
Pros: Very sturdy and reliable.LCD screen very useful when used with MSI Afterburner.Lots of macro keys. Comment:
Overall, it's one of the best keyboards I've used. I would recommend it to all. There are many customizable keys, which is always useful when you're gaming, or simply for a fast access to multiple applications.There are up to 3 modes, but to be honest, I only use one.The thing I use most on this keyboard is the volume control. |

Pros: backlitlogitech warrantyspill prooflots of programmable macro keys Comment:
I do really like this keyboard. I find it pretty easy to type on. I don't see any input lag, there is a lot of programmable macro keys (maybe too many). I like the macro recording feature as well. I really wanted a backlit keyboard and I love Logitech products (best warranty in the business). The regular price is overpriced IMO but sale price is decent. Also it's spill proof. |

Cons: -Small display than G15-No USB port
Pros: -Wonderful replacement for G15 assuming you don't need the additional USB port-Very comfortable Comment:
I bought this as a replacement to my my g15 keyboard and so far I'm fairly satisfied with my choice, it's a much more cleaner looking keyboard with a few additional bells and whistles still with that same feel of a g15. |
Not a bad keyboard but not the best for its price. You can get a much better mechanical keyboard at this price point
