In addition to the G110 keyboard, Logitech includes the literature, an installation and driver CD, and a wrist rest that fits onto the keyboard. We recommend that you purchase an after market wrist rest that offers some additional padding. You might like to position the rest away from the keyboard instead of built in, as well.
G110
While most people might think the G110 is the G19 without the LCD screen, this is not the case. It is true that the layout and such mimic the G19, but the keys are a slight different feel. We can tell you, right off the bat, that the keyboard has a good feel. The spacebar is not at all mushy and doesn't get stuck like the G19. We'll go into more of the feel in a later section. The keyboard is about 20 inches long. This is due to the G macro keys that are present on the left side of the keyboard. All Logitech gaming keyboards feature these G keys.
The right side of the keyboard contains the numeric keypad. Most consumers may balk at the space that the number pad takes up. Remember, though, that this is a gaming keyboard and those extra keys can be the difference in a firefight. In addition, the number pad is a fast way to enter numeric data and we always dislike keyboards that attempt to remove it. Above the numeric keyboard is the multimedia keys. These include the volume rocker, mute button, and the player controls for a media player. These keys are OS agnostic and will work in any computing environment.
To the left of the number pad lies the arrow keys. These have a good feel with your fingers being able to feel the keys very easily. Most gamers have moved on from the arrow keys to the, more common, "WASD" type of movement. Some still prefer the arrow keys, though. Above these keys are the set of six additional keys that most don't use. Programmers like these keys, though. If you didn't know, the home key brings you to the front of a line of text and the end key brings you to the end. These keys serve an additional purpose in games. The more keys, the better! There are more command keys above these six.
