Logitech G510 Review: Your Ultimate Gaming Keyboard

Logitech has added the Logitech G510 to their G series of gaming keyboards for a more enjoyable gaming experience. This latest gaming keyboard from Logitech replaces the G15 model. When it comes to design and functionalities, the Logitech G510 is a cross between the G15 and G19 model. The G510 shape has a resemblance to that of G19 including the location of each keys, knobs and buttons.

The Logitech G510 keyboard has a standard 102 key. On the top left of the keyboard are the three buttons for selecting modes and below them are 18 programmable G-keys. The 18 G-keys can be programmed into 54 different functions per game. The keyboard also features the GamePanel LCD and backlighting which comes in different colors that make it possible for its user to distinctly see keys even in the dark. It also comes with multimedia keys, volume control and headset-ready USB audio. Looking at the overall design of the Logitech G510, you can say that this keyboard is made to provide the gamers' need for a more professional and comfortable gaming experience.

Taking a closer look at the keyboard, the Logitech G510 is constructed in plastic with black and silver finish. The part of the keyboard that houses the standard 102 keys and G-keys is separated from the M and media keys. The LCD is housed within a separate plastic casing, placed in the center top and angled in such a way that I can quickly glance without losing Logitech Gaming Softwares focus on my game. So, when I am in a middle of a game such as in MMORPGs, the health and mana bars will be displayed on the Logitech G510 keyboard's LCD. I personally love this GamePanel LCD feature because it frees up space on my screen. The only drawback I have found from the Logitech G510 keyboard is its monochrome LCD panel which lacks the tilt and swivel capability.

Looking from the side of the Logitech G510, the full-height of the keys is very noticeable. A full-height key is useful when typing to prevent pressing several keys at the same time. Pressing key requires only very minimal effort. This allows me to do micro actions and to react quickly on fast games. The actions per minute (APM) is really important to gaming success and the Logitech G510 G-keys help me increase my APM. Aside from having perfect timing and great strategy, the use of this keyboard has also helped me towards winning almost any game.

Drawing from my own experience, the Logitech G510 is the ultimate keyboard for serious gamers. Occasional players and those who are not serious about winning their games need not buy. The keyboard is quite handy because of the presence of the G keys where macros can be recorded quickly. With features that allow 5-key presses simultaneously for the macros, it will give you the winning advantage over MMORPGs gamers who are not using the G510 keyboard from Logitech. Aside from its technological innovation, gamers will surely appreciate the Logitech G510 gaming keyboard because it is durable and sturdy enough to be able to withstand and endure the constant use and abuse.
