Gaming keyboards come in all shapes, sizes, costs, and utilities.  The multi-functional Z-board, with its game-specific overlays has had some attention over the years, as well as the Saitek Eclipse range, and Logitech’s own G-series keyboards.

The original G15 in the range offered a flip-up black-and-white LCD display, programmable G-buttons, a physical switch to turn the Windows key off, and on-board media controls.  The G11 then offered everything the G15 did, without the display.  The G15 revision 2 integrated the screen into the keyboard, and reduced the number of G-buttons.  The G19 then became an LCD color version of the newer G15, with some other small enhancements.

The G510 then offers a mix of the newer G19 and the original G15, giving a color display and more programmable buttons.  Alongside this, the keyboard also offers 3.5mm analog headset jack inputs, converting the signal to USB and sending it down the keyboard USB cable.  All the familiar G-series features still remain – media controls, programmable buttons, USB inputs, and color backlighting.  The G510 is rather identical when compared to the G110 with all the bracelets, except for the additional LCD screen.

Logitech are selling the G510 now from their website for $119.99.  Again, paying $120 for a keyboard can seem extreme, especially when a $10 keyboard will do what a keyboard was originally designed to do.  Those who actually need it however, will find use for all the extra features those boards such as the Logitech G-series offers.
