Logitech G19

Introduced at CES 2009, the G19 is a high end gaming keyboard from Logitech. Featuring a tiltable full colour LCD screen with a resolution of 320x240 and its own controls, the G19 can display statistics about your system, the time of day, a custom background or even YouTube videos. The keyboard also features less flashy gamer-class features, such as 12 fully programmable macro keys that can complete up to 36 complex actions, media keys, a game mode that disables the Windows key, a backlight for playing in the dark and multi-key input - which allows the keyboard to respond to up to 5 key presses at a time. The G19 also features two powered USB 2.0 ports for use with any peripherals or mobile devices that require charging. Priced at $199.99, the G19 will ship sometime in March.
