[Aznboi32135]

just a question. is this keyboard roughly the same size as the g15v1?

[XxGameTankxx]

because of you i have decided to buy this keyboard. Thanks mate! :D

[ZekeComa]

I loved the keyboard, but couldn't stand that the backlight is so shitty. You can't even make it brighter D:

[psyfertech]

see why the hell cant razer do cool ass stuff with their keyboards like this, put a screen that tells u all sorts of cool usefull info and be able to actually customize the color of the lights

[khlundberg]

Nice review...but you say okay alot:) okay!

[Vinyl3D]

Thank you for that review - well done, mate!

[ngc2024]

Thanks mate for this video. I think i will buy this keyboard, you answered all the questions I had.

[YouLostAGame]

[XxSocialTechxX]

[l2everse]

Awesome review man... I wasn't sure if I would buy it so looked for reviews found yours. AND IT'S JUST PLAIN AWESOME

[wesley830]

Smashing keyboard! LOL. Nice review.

[Pikachumofo]

What is the texture of the keys like are the kind of a rubbery feeling or a plastic ?

[Naminaterzzz]

@SWATsqad stop whining and getting all mad do your own research the product info on LoGitechs website says there is a built in sound card... Dumbasss...

[stekri1310]

Much information about it, thanks :)

[SWATsqad]

are you stupid? you think the keyboard has a built in soundcard? don't do reviews if you don't understand shit

[jylounen]

@SWATsqad Haha, it does indeed have one. Stop flaming if you got no clue.

[Coolguyuno1]

eummmmm.....

[phantumgrey]

55 - 60 pounds! Damn that's a heavy keyboard! jk thanks for the review!

[rbtb201]

Says who there wont be any USB hubs? G19 and G110 have USB 2.0 ports built in. nice review anyway, bought the keyboard already. :P

[TzNoEpiCZero]

Really nice review! You have now persuaded me to buy the keyboard! :D

[HiFi39]

[WJReviews]

good review thanks!!!

[yousonofachicken]

Thanks man ! This was really useful ! =)

[landy1337]

good review thank you

[Remc0Smit]

@thehennersz. The mediakeys control the settings on your computer so it works with anything

[TheHennersz]

do the media keys work if you dont have your speakers plugged into the keyboard

[Fun4FunX]

@TheHennersz I run my speakers through an external sound card so yes, they do.

[Kellonious]

Thanks man, good review =)

[shardnz]

Great review! Keep up the good work!

[HAFftw]

When i start cod 4 or cod 2 or any other game , nothing pops up on the LCD screen. do i have to do something so the name of the game comes up on the screen ? thanks for your help , and nice review

[MVrockersPS3]

smashing lol

[MVrockersPS3]

MAKE A MECHANICAL LOGITECH!

[TheOneFromMW2]

mhm nice review mate but shud i buy the g510 or g19?

g19=more expensive,less gkeys

g510=more gkeys, less expensive

[theslimeylimey]

Nice review thanks! Question: Do you know if pressing a G key cancels another already pressed or do you have to release a pressed key before another will register? I'm asking because I'm using two different CAD packages that have very different zoom/pan/rotate keys and I'd like to set it up like the better one of the two.

[springer841]

Is this better than a g15

[theimmortalmoo]

The LCD and the SOooooo Many G keys are making me really want to get this instead of a Razer Keyboard.

[fellowv]

really good review! im going to buy this in september :)

[guiga0cs]

Good review. Now some questions: are the buttons noisy when you press them? Do they feel good on your fingers? Do you think this is better than the Alienware TactX? Thanks.

[trignite]

just realised.. is the screen smaller on that then the g15?

[trignite]

This is probably what i will buy if something happens to my g15 (got the gay orange one :< )

[JULIANSJG]

Thanks for you response... So , How I program those keys for photoshop ? Directly at M1 M2 M3 MR or at the function butoms, or by the G keys.? I'm not sure how is the way to program them.

Thanks again mate.

[JULIANSJG]

Thanks again mate.

[JULIANSJG]

Yes man, you really helpt me...So could you give me (us) a Couple tips How to program those Gkays for Photoshop... thanks Greetings.

[JULIANSJG]

Yes man, you really helpt me...So could you give me (us) a Couple tips How to program those Gkays for Photoshop... thanks Greetings.

[JULIANSJG]

Very interesting review pal...So i have a question. : Can i program this keyboard (G keys) for something different , I mean photoshop lightroom premier, or this keyboard is just for gamers ?.

Thanks for the video.

[kickme97]

@JULIANSJG Hi mate, yes you can use the G Keys for any program that support short-cut. I use them all day long when using Photoshop and PaintShop. Hope this helps mate.

[Gdeft]

Great Review :-) thanks for showing the in depth details of the LCD screen

[praetorian122002]

how many keys can u press at once?

[runescapefunnyvid]

Im going to buy this keyboard tomorrow, hope it worth it.

[assetian]

thanks for making this review, well done and very informative. suprisingly out of all of the reviews of this product i never seen one that showed how it worked with the game profiles so this was great.

[kickme97]

@assetian thanks for your comment mate, really glad I could help! Doing some more reviews over on on4long.com

[canthaguild]

wow your PC is unbelivably loud.... Atm Ive got a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 I can't stand the plasticy keys on it. How are the keys feel on this keyboard?

[ShoRn23]

Nice review dude, none of that blah blah blah bullshit.. just telling us what we want to here!! Thumbs Up!

[thersabugonmytv]

absolutely loved it thanks man

[speedfreakpsycho]

than you for all the information,i was in doubt between G15,G510,g19, and Cytek cyborg!...

i ordered G510 four days ago!

firstly i wanted to just buy g19, but after a while i realized, its just not worth that money! ..its the same as g15 ,so basically you pay 70$ more for just color display!!...and for that money i can buy an extra 17 inch touch screen :)

thanks again for the info!

[FolkMetalPiper]

I just got it yesterday.. its a wicked keyboard

[MrYubbo]

Cheers for the review mate, it was very informative. I've just ordered a G510 after having enough of my Logitech cordless Wave keyboard. It's just totally useless for gaming and I want to return to corded, more responsive keyboards.

I was hoping for a good look at the software end of things and got just that with this review, nice one :)

[kickme97]

@MrYubbo really glad i could help mate. Really is great to get comments like yours. Much appreciated.

[yassarikhan786]

Great review mate. What Monitor are you using by the way?

[kickme97]

@yassarikhan786 hey mate, the monitors I'm using are the Dell Ultrasharp U2311H. I really do like these monitors as they truly offer true colour. Its hard to find monitors that show Black as Black and White as White, without the heavy price tags.

Thanks for your comment mate.

[yassarikhan786]

@kickme97 Thanks a lot. I've looked that Monitor up and it seems like a Great choice. Is it your primary Gaming Monitor or do you use a different monitor for Gaming. Thanks in advance.

[kickme97]

@yassarikhan786 at the moment mate these are my primary monitors. I have order the new Alienware 3D Ready monitor, which I will do a review on once it arrives.

Really want to see if the 3D way of gaming is really any good, or even the right way to go. But yes presently these Dell monitors are my primary monitors, and I do have to say they really are a great gaming monitor.

Hope this help mate. Thanks for your comment.

[yassarikhan786]

@kickme97 I've looked at those as well and a lot of people complain about backlight bleed, but apart from that they are great monitors. I'll probably wait until your review of the Alienware monitor and then decide which monitor is the best for me.

[kickme97]

@FRAGNUB4FUN Glad to hear you liked this keyboard mate. What support are you looking for, maybe I could help.

[kickme97]

Not too sure about the rubbery feel of this keyboard. I wouldn't agree with this. However everyone has there own taste, and opinions. Hope this review helped those looking for a new keyboard, or those wanting to know more. Thanks.

[kickme97]

Thanks for your comments guys, really appreciate them.

[VarttiW]

Thank you very mutch, absolutely best review what i found =)

[iXavierProductions]

Amazing review man! I am definitely buying this thanks to you! All the information I needed was in this. Keep doing stunning reviews like this!

[Klickker]

@iXavierProductions I propably wouldnt recommend that. Im typing with this keyboard right now (got today) and the keys are the only propblem im fasing. Theyre really rubbery and sticky and leave your fingers smelling rubber and being sticky. If you have no problem with this kinda thing then np.

As for my part, this is annoying... and it cant be fixed!!

[iXavierProductions]

@Klickker I went to the store and tried a G110, I've been told that the keys feel the same and I didn't encounter any problem. I'm getting mine soon, shipment was delayed for some reasons. If it doesen't satisfy me I can still get a refund! :P

[kickme97]

@iXavierProductions Well i hope you are satisfied with this keyboard mate. ;o) Take it easy.

[oLACHESISo]

Does the keyboard feel like a mechanical keyboard?

[enfouk]

Superb review mate good job

+1 subscriber

[yungsoo]

g510 or lycosa ?

i heard that razer products do not last whereas you can keep a logitech keyboard for your entire life

i do not want to waste my money in a lycosa that will last 6 months

thanks

[Bivakk]

@yungsoo i have the lycosa for about 2 days now, and it sucks the keys stop working all the time. go for the logitech. razer got nice mice and headsets but they suck balls at making keyboards.

[TheGamingNuisance]

thank you SO much

[MrAcme15]

its actually £80 to £100 so uhrr... yah... where did you get it..? :o

[sayakachan1]

Good review mew <3^^

[panyan91]

good review :)

[stiflersmom50]

got this today, what a great keyboard, really nice, love it<3

[larzakajugganot]

i what it sooooo bad AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

[Shankarasharya]

Good work man. Ordered it today. Very informative, your review. Thanx!

[FearingHD]

Thanks for the review! I was thinking about getting the G510. But i mentioned some other keyboards, too... After watching this i will definitely buy this one! =)

[likeyoulok]

nice video i get my keyboard tomorrow!

[3asyFr4g]

Name of the song at the end please ?

Nice review.

[bobthetrader1]

V helpful video! Was considering this KB and your video helped me decide. Thanks! On a side note ... was wondering why the box had Chinese characters then saw on your channel that you are based in Tianjin ... no wonder! LOL. Nice place to be especially for roaming the countryside and nature parks. Cheers mate! :)

[TheVectorhd]

best review i've seen, very imformitive.

[kickme97]

@TheVectorhd Thanks for your comment mate, much appreciated. Take it easy.

[haghebaert]

BORDERLANDS ROCKS!

[CRPranks]

Does the keyboard have USB inputs? If yes, does the mute buttons for Mic and Headset work, should I connect a USB-headset to it?

[kickme97]

@CRPranks no, no USB inputs. But it does have a Mic and Headphone input (Standard Jack input).

As i mentioned in the video, Logitech have no removed all USB Ports from their latest keyboards, due to the amount of power needed.

[MrMADcamal]

Very nice review, mate. Also, being from Canada, I want to listen to you say 'buttons' all day...

[kickme97]

@MrMADcamal haha, cheers mate good to hear from ya! thanks.

[Silvah777]

@MrMADcamal

Just as I read that he said buttons in the video. Hadn't had such a good laugh like that in such a long time.

[mtmatrix3]

Wait, I thought the backlighting on this keyboard was "Fully Customizable"? Ahaha sorry, is this not the case?

[Hordesthugz13]

@mtmatrix3 yes it is on the buttom of that color options theres a option where it says costimize you cant realley see it there and there you can have it have some awesome colors.

[mtmatrix3]

@Hordesthugz13 Ooooh cool!!! The only other thing I was worried about was if the backlighting would be too dim...I've heard a lot of people complaining about that--What do you think?

[Hordesthugz13]

@mtmatrix3 In the day its really dim but you can still see the color but dosent really matter because at night it glows so I have no problem with it.

[mtmatrix3]

@Hordesthugz13 Awesome!!! I'm definitely getting this!!!!!! :D

[kickme97]

@mtmatrix3 I would agree, however the green on this keyboard is very bright. If you game in the dark, or play at night you won;t have any problems though, and in a dark room, it really does light up the place :o) hope this helps.

[mtmatrix3]

@kickme97 Oooh! Thanks so much! This really does help! I didn't want like my first backlit keyboard to be wimpy and unimpressive! Haha Helped a lot--THANKS!

[kickme97]

@mtmatrix3 Backlighting is fully customizable mate. Hope this helps!

[tekija125]

ok

[egillaron]

Great review

[SkavenUK]

Just ordered this after i threw lemonade over my old G15 :( Nothing like the fresh look of a new keyboard though! I went with this over the G19 as I really can't do with a keyboard needing a seperate power supply, crazy. The LCD screen is also way overboard for the G19.

Not just that but I always buy Logitech - their warranty exchange is second to none, any problems and if its within warranty they'll send you a replacement free of charge. can't ask better than that!

[Noobletnate]

Great review man. I'm probably going to be ordering this keyboard soon. Keep it up.

[solearisSK]

actually, if you press one of the buttons under the LCD in Borderlands, you can see additional info :)

[ElmTheWar]

good review good information thanks

[700gsteak]

is the power pack necessary just to use the keyboard and screen (no other usb devices plugged in)

[kickme97]

@700gsteak hi mate, there is no power pack, only one usb cable from the keyboard to the computer to power it. simple and easy to plug in and play. :)

[myg0tBUTTPLUG]

Thanks for the review....I'm going down to Best Buy and buying this G510 right now.

My G11 is a little melted from a candle fire I had a few days ago. My number pad is all melted. lol

I need a good gaming keyboard and for the money the G510 looks great. Have you seen those Luxeed keyboards out of Korea? Those things are gnarly!

[AznFreakProduction]

I just bought this keyboard and the lights are pretty dim, can anyone else confirm this about theirs? I'm pretty disappointed from that other than that the keyboard is great in general.

[bbmoz]

@AznFreakProduction

Yeah, I'm also really disappointed with the backlighting on this keyboard too... The lights are way too dim... you have to be basically right above it to notice the backlight during the day... I'm going to try to look for another gaming keyboard with better backlighting

[WanderingArtificer]

even if the keyboard had a pair of usb cables to plug into the pc, one for data, and one for power it would be a lot better... they could have on specifically for a usb hub.

the G110 still has a single usb port on it, which is plenty for a mouse. logitech just needs to find a good balance. external power like the G19 has just isnt a good idea.

[jamjawstube]

Great review !!

[braunmarci]

You can skip the Borderlands intros with GameRanger, just play alone in a room with a password :)

[zepekit]

okay, okay? ;)

[doorOfSouls]

crap , sry i was in a hurry to comment but then noticed that there are more colors..nice review

[doorOfSouls]

so only 3 lights?are there more?if not do u know any keyboard with about the same price but with all 7 lights?

[DrMeh3]

u remind me of Neville from harry potter lol

[autcYpHa]

u should think about some water cooling system :P

[LessthanJake14]

£55-£60?!

Where the fuck did you get it at that price?!

[museumet]

can you make macroes for world of warcraft? like commands

[kickme97]

@museumet Yes, G510 has pre-build macro and commands for WOW.

[n3wbiedoc]

I bought the G510 keyboard last friday and it's amazing, especially the G-keys :D

I definitely recommend it!!

Merry Christmas everyone :P

[trystonsicard]

how did u go to the softwhere?

[kickme97]

@trystonsicard I have an update video for the Logitech G510, how to get the latest software.

[smartface96]

one word that you are saying way to mutch ''ok''

btw great review, i'm thinking about buying it

[n3wbiedoc]

lol at 2:51 your pc is about to take off

great review btw i'm about to buy one :D

[kickme97]

@n3wbiedoc haha, yer it does mate! Cheers for the comment... Hope this review helped!

[elvens33]

nice rewiew, gj. i think to buy that keybouard, it cost 120 euros in Greece. but i think it worth the money.

[songy2008]

best and most detailed review of G510 ive seen so far... good job. considering getting 1 for myself sometime in the near future

[kickme97]

@songy2008 thanks, really appreciate it.

[MrPinkpanda69]

very good review

[bosmike12]

i cant gt the lcd screen to work and the macro record and thelight changing

[kickme97]

@bosmike12 you installed the software CD, that came with the keyboard????

Thats all your should need.

[trimi38]

@kickme97 cost me £80...where did you get it?

[AarlandSun]

Very good review! Simple and informative. Nice of you to show the features of the keyboard; few reviewers do. =)

[Superbiz2]

Hey can you confirm the G510 has NO USB ports on it? I find them useful for plugging my mouse in, personally.

[kickme97]

@Superbiz2 yes mate, the G510 has no USB Ports. Logitech had issue with their earlier keyboard releases that did have USB Ports, so they got rid off them completely. Hope this helps.....

[Superbiz2]

Thanks for the reply. I'm still intent on getting this keyboard.

[Darkning]

Really informative review, thanks a lot! :)

[Darkning]

@Darkning Just want to add on - I bought it and I love it. :)

[kickme97]

@Darkning Glad you like the keyboard.

[twaspisted]

Like this review as I have to replace MY G11 keyboard.

[ebbtides]

Question: Is the G510 a mechanical keyboard (much like the recent Razor models)

or a membrane based keys?

I hear reviews that the G510's keys are quite heavy, so I'm led to believe that this is indeed a mechanical keyed interface.

I miss the days of heavy keys - almost that typewriter feel to typing that keyboards had in the 90's.

[kickme97]

@ebbtides No the keyboard, isn't as heavy as a typewriter. :o)

It is very similar feeling to the Razor Anansi keyboard, maybe not as heavy. But still the G510 has a great feel to it.

[Onliner94]

Great Review... I was also interested in the Setup where u can set the color, because I read only 4??? colors are available!!! I'm sure i'll order it for christmas.

[kickme97]

@Onliner94 There are alot more colours than four, Blue, Green, Red, Purple, Orange, Aqua, Yellow, and even more, this really is a great keyboard.

[Onliner94]

@kickme97 I know that it's possible to set ANY color but I read somewhere in a magazine there are only 4 so I wondered how people can write 4 instead of ALL possible colors!!!

[kickme97]

@Onliner94 Hi mate, i also have read that there are only 4 colours, even seen some youtube video's saying the same thing, but i can confirm (as shown in my video), there are allot more than 4. Cheers.

[sicboi80]

Great review man, I just ordered this keyboard for christmas! :)
