Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard

I've had this keyboard for more than a year now. I wanted to get some sort of keyboard both to keep my laptop docked while at home and for gaming, so I wanted something that felt good for typing and gaming. This keyboard does both quite well. I really enjoy typing on this keyboard, and it alone has changed my preference from low profile keys, such as those found on my laptop, to a more standard raised design. I've never had any issues typing on the keyboard for writing papers or programming. Though the WASD keys are a different color than the rest of the keys, I don't notice the difference. The backlighting is a delight to have, because the lower brightness setting is plenty for my apartment when it's not day time or I have the lights on. The MW3 logo is not distracting at all to me. The keyboard also does well with gaming. I play mostly RTS games, with some MOBAs and Action types of games thrown in, and I've never had any problems with input no matter how quickly or frequently I use hotkeys or other commands. I've not used the programmable function/G keys as much as I thought I would, but I don't feel like that's been a loss. Some of the command programming took me a little tweaking to get right, this being my first programmable keyboard, and for some games I was not able to get things working quite how I envisioned. I'm not sure if this is a fault of ignorance on my part or if the software doesn't work as well with certain games, but I've never encountered any kind of game breaking error. I've not experimented with the Windows Key lock either, as I've never had an issue with clicking it in game in the first place. In terms of reliability, I've been using this almost daily for close to 18 months now, and I have had no issues with performance or durability. If anything, the distinction between brightness levels has actually improved. It was difficult to distinguish the low and high lighting when I started using the board, but the difference is clear now. I think that about covers all I have to say about the keyboard. Overall, I think this keyboard is an absolute steal. I got this while it was still at the $35-40 price, and it looks like a new model is out without the MW3 logo for that same price. I know that there are higher end boards available that would certainly pass this in terms of raw performance, especially with programmable keys, but if you want something that will give you a gaming boost for under $80, I can't imagine any other option as good as this one. This is most definitely the greatest technology purchase I've ever made in terms of performance and durability for price. *** Do note, of course, that this MW3 version appears to be back at its original price, so the newer version listed by Amazon would be a better value. ***

I think this keyboard is definitely worth buying because the price is great! You are essentially getting a more expensive keyboard at a discounted price simply because of the COD:MW3 branding. Personally, I am not bothered the MW3 label at all, and I never notice it while gaming because I'm too focused on the game! Some people have mentioned either covering it with a sticker, black marker, or even scratching it off, but I personally didn't feel it necessary to do anything like that. Pros: - Great price - Green LED backlighting actually looks really cool - No ghosting of keys while gaming - Keys are easy to press with good feedback; not too stiff nor soft. Also not super loud, which is nice. Cons: - The "G keys" are a bit too close to the left edge of the keyboard for my liking. Although it happens rarely, I do sometimes accidentally end up pressing the G6 key when I want to hit Ctrl. It's a minor annoyance that occurs usually when I'm trying to use shortcuts in various programs. It doesn't really happen when I'm gaming, and I think that's because my fingers are already in the proper "gaming position", whereas in non-gaming situations my fingers are further away on the home row and thus I overshoot the Ctrl key and hit the G6 key when I'm in a hurry. - The backlighting could be a little brighter in my opinion. It's decent in a dark room, but not so much if you have the lights on. Also, I've noticed that my 24" monitor is a bit bright in a dark room and the light from the screen dims the backlighting from the keyboard slightly. However, the brightness of the backlighting also has to do with my next point... - The tilt angle of the keyboard should be a little higher when using the stands on the underside of the keyboard. If the keyboard was a little higher, the green LED light would be easier to see due to the better angle, and thus would be more beneficial. Not a major issue, though. - There is no included wrist pad (wrist rest). It is a minor annoyance, and probably helps with keeping the cost down a little, but what is even more annoying is that the bottom of the keyboard is not perfectly straight! Instead, their is a curve under the middle section where the Logitech logo is located. While this makes the logo look nice, it's extremely annoying because you can't put a regular foam wrist pad under the keyboard easily! The curve either makes it stick out too far away from the keyboard, or you have to keep it at an angle, which will only provide comfort for one wrist!! Not cool at all! It would've been better to just put the Logitech logo somewhere near the top of the keyboard. Some people have mentioned that there are slots on the underside that might be used to connect a wrist pad that is sold separately, but I don't know anything about that. - The media keys that work through the "Function" key are not backlit! They are simply painted/printed onto the bottom side of the keys. It's not a problem in the daytime, but in the dark you can't see them at all. I personally don't use the media keys very often, if at all, so it's not a big deal for me. But I wanted to mention it in case you do use them often, that way it's not a surprise when they don't light up with the orange-ish color that they are painted with. Durability: - Keyboard seems well-built. However, after only a few days of gaming, I noticed that the space bar sometimes makes a loud sound when pressed. It's the type of sound you hear from an old, heavily used keyboard, or one that is cheaply made. I wasn't expecting it to happen to this keyboard, especially not so soon. It doesn't happen every time I hit the space bar, but it definitely is noticeable when playing game like Firefall that require heavy use of the space bar in-game. If you game with headphones, then you probably will never hear it even if it does happen to your keyboard, so I wouldn't worry about it. Extra features/functions: - I haven't tried installing the software from the Logitech site to use the macro keys, nor the G keys. I'm sure they probably work fine, but I can't comment as I have no personal experience with them. Overall, I think this keyboard is a great value for the money! The cons I have listed are only minor in reality. I wrote more about the cons in order to give an accurate review of any issues encountered as I could for any other potential buyers thinking about getting this keyboard. If you are looking for a nice gaming keyboard and don't want to spend a lot of money, then this is the one for you!

good keyboard. i like the fell of the key they fell sturdy and yet are easy to press. the keys are big enough yet are close enough to roam free on the keyboard for writing or gaming. for those who prefer a sensitive keyboard, light press, keep away, as each key need a good press without having to hammer it. let just say that you wont press, by accident, a button by resting your hand on the keyboard

I was looking for a solid quality keyboard with programmable keys and back lighting capability for general purpose typing. I am not a gamer and so I can't really comment on how well it is suited for gaming. There may be better gaming keyboards available but it is perfect for my needs.

El producto es de muy buena calidad. Cumple con lo que ofrece.

キーの()の位置が日本語配列キーボードでは8 9の位置になっていて英語配列キーボードでは9 0の位置になっている それ以外はよかったと思います。

Good keyboard for cheep. (the MW3 edition was half the cost of the regular G105). Delivers promised features, anti-ghosting is good enough for most gamers, 'G' keys are fully programmable, and 3 profiles for them makes changing games easier. Could have had brighter back lighting, and 3 profiles seems a little limited at times.
