Why should I get a Logitech G19 over a G15?

Fledge · 19 Sep 2010 at 23:10

The G19 has recently gone down in price to £99.99, still £45 more than the G15. Is it worth the extra money? I'm after a really high quality gaming keyboard but I'm not quite convinced that the G19 is necessary.

It'd be nice to get a few opinions on the matter as I really am not sure what to choose. For both the keyboards I'd like to hear about general quality, feature usefulness, longevity, performance for price and anything else that may help.

Thanks all,
Fledge

If you have it to waste sure, if you don't then i'd said its not worth it.

Depends what else you would spend the £45 on... I have the G15 Rev1, pretty much scince it was released, and it's still working great, not sure if the rev2 lasts as long or not as I haven't had any experience with it. I've been considering upgrading to the G19 with the price reduction, but I keep deciding it's not worth the upgrade, although I might have chosen different if I didn't allready have a G15...

Not sure if that's at all helpful, but it's my opinion

Im more looking towards Razer Blackwidow. Its slightly more expensive than the G19 but its biggest selling point its mechanical with low travel keys and light pressure

would depend if you would use the features of the G19 over the G15.

the colour screen, changeable key colours and powered usb ports

This.

Youre paying for the screen, if youre not going to use it (I had a g15 once and took notice of the screen for 5 minutes) then dont bother.

Thinking about it if you have to even ask the question.......
