Some keys (caps lock, num lock, scroll lock, tab, print scr) do not light up properly as they are not aligned with the led backlight. The backlight is insanely dim, insanely dim, insanely dim. The keyboard is tilted away from me without feet and is slightly slanted away from me with the very short feet extended, every keyboard I've used prior has had a tilt towards me... very unusual and unkind on my wrists. Lack of decent LCD applets and it detected only THREE of my games... only three????... If this wasn't a $100 keyboard I'd tear it apart and solder in my own leds or modify the resistors on whats there if they have any... ugh.

If ur looking for a keyboard which have alot of independent macro keys this is what you should get. Because most gaming keyboards you can set macros but by replacing one of the alphabet keys , which making it only work for macro and no longer the alphabet
I find this keyboard benefits on all sort of games FPS , RPG , MMORPG
For keyboard this cheap yet you able to get this many features , media keys , volume control , LCD screen , 1 jack for headphone and mic etc its really great compare to other gaming keyboards like Razer etc
Only thing bad about this keyboard is , there's bit problem with the buttons on the LCD screen which sometimes delay when clicking it or it wont response and u have to click a few times, all the G510 is same what i heard.
But overall the keyboard is great there's any much problem of fault , i highly recommend for people looking for a gaming keyboard out there , there i'snt any out there is this cheap , yet have this many features , but i wont dare say in terms of quality / lasting. Mechanical keyboards however will still always be the most lasting !

It's been practically the best keyboard I have ever used. It's quiet, plenty of macros to use and can practically do everything with just the keyboard. My only problem with it which I am not sure if many other with this keyboard are experiencing it is the response lag when it comes to music and videos. The volume control on the keyboard won't take affect till roughly twenty seconds after I have tried to turn down the volume or mute it. Same goes with the play, stop and skip buttons. They have roughly a ten to twenty second response time unless you merely mash the buttons enough where it seems to calibrate itself.
To test that is wasn't my five and a half year old computer that was having problems with my keyboard I allowed my friend to use it. After installing the drivers and letting him use it for about a week he had the same problems. The volume controls and the multimedia buttons have a horrible lag unless you use them every few hours. Of course after it seems to calibrate itself the response time is instant but the first use of the controls is the only thing that has given me not really any problems but slight irritation.
Other then that, it's a keyboard I would highly recommend.

As many I wanted a quality gaming keyboard. I selected the G510 because of the price value relationship.
Although the keyboard is fine what upsets me is the poor quality on how the logo 'G510' is placed on the keyboard. It is completely out of alignment. Sure all functionality of the keyboard is fine, but each day I look at this logo and it irritates me. I cant correct it myself as I would damage the sticker. The G510 is positioned by Logitech to offer great functionality and nice aesthetics. The last needs some extra attention from Logitech.
Below average for quality

This keyboard is perfect for all of my needs. The media controls are great for iTunes and Windows Media Player. I love the switch that turn on and off the windows key, because I couldn't tell you how many times I've accidentally hit it on my old keyboard. The keyboard types really smooth and the programmable g-keys I find use of. They are great for some games where you have to type commands into the chat bar. You can program the whole command into one button instead of having to type it. They would also probably be useful for MMOs. The colored lights behind the keys are so cool because you can adjust their color the whatever you want. I also like the mic mute button and the sound mute button for the mic plugs that this keyboard has. The LCD panel on it is also great because it will tell you what song you are playing, your performance usage, and has a clock. The keyboard also come with a wrist rest that I thought was very comfortable. Overall, this keyboard is definetly my favorite!

I upgraded to the G510 because my G15 finally decided to stop working as it should. I chose the G510 rather than the other versions simply for the 3 columns of G keys.My previous keyboards were the G15 which also came with 3 columns.
Pros:
- 3 columns x 3 rows of six x 3 M keys as opposed to only 2 columns
- Volume control now a nice turny wheel thing
- Changable backlights
- Just like the others ive had a fantastic start button disabler for gaming mode.
- Onboard audio/voice
- LCD display
Cons:
- keys feel smaller compared to my old G15. seem to miss the right enter and shift frequently [US]
- monotoned style LCD (although I only use it for stats while gaming or performance while working etc)
- No USB ports??? possibly not enough power to supply both the LCD and USB ports

Summary:
Overall this keyboard seems to be a nice upgrade but not amazing. As it does seem a wee bit too compact for the features it has. But if you want those 3 columns of macro keys, this is the one for you!

The keyboard is the best I've seen in quite a while. I've been using a Razer Lycosa prior, and this keyboard is a MAJOR upgrade. It feels amazing when typing, the response is perfect. When gaming, this keyboard definitely holds its ground and show no mercy. The features on this keyboard are what drew me in, and I must say, I am very pleased.
The LCD panel helps me out to determine in Battlefield 3 and other games whether or not I'm lagging because of RAM issues (only have 4GB currently) or connectivity issues.
The non-touch media controls are a great thing to have (Lycosa is touch) and the volume control is perfectly place as well as the mute all button. I really love how the Audio out/Mic in is run through the USB and NOT separate cables so I can use my speakers whenever I want.
The custom back-lighting colors is great since I like to match color schemes/moods when I'm gaming or listening to music, and it's not extremely bright either, just perfect.
Detachable wrist rest is easy and perfect, it does not screw in which makes it all the better
Lastly, the macro keys are great, especially 18 with 3 profiles! The downfall, however, is that I have been unable to have CTRL+ALT+P (custom command) programmed into the Macro through on-the-fly recording.
A few side-notes that ARE important to know:
The keys are SMALLER than most that do NOT have Macro keys because of the design. It's not much bigger than the Razer Lycosa.
The detachable wrist rest will flop down when you pick the keyboard up.
If your microphone doesn't seem to work, mute/unmute it from the controller on the cord, THEN do the same with the button on the keyboard.
THIS PRODUCT IS COMPATIBLE WITH RAZER MICE. I know for a FACT that my Lachesis works just fine with this keyboard.
NO USB HUB (Not an issue since I am smart and got a case with FRONT USB PORTS. They are very useful)
Price to Quality is perfect, you will NOT be disappointed in this keyboard.

In my search for an Anykey (non USB) replacement I bought the G510 for the extra programmable G-keys.
I like the full size keys and the feel of type on the keyboard. That's about all I like.
Why I will return it:
For $90 bucks it feels cheap, lightweight, soft plastic.
Standard keyboard is off center. I miss the center when moving between mouse and keyboard. Would like to see the screen and palm rest centered to the keyboard so when I'm not looking directly at the keyboard, I can find the center.
Space key doesn't register when hit from the side.
Best for last:
Must install software and wait for it to load in a user profile to record and use macros. Slows logon time, and is not portable to other user accounts or PCs. Can not program the keys.

The Keyboard is great. So far i've been using it for 4-5 months, everything works great, although the keys wear off quickly. I used it along with the G15 for a short time and I had no problems at all. I'm using the Logitech gaming software, not the GamePanel software. But I replaced the G15 with a cheap keyboard, but there weren't any problems, I just found a more confortable keyboard.

Either I got a bad keyboard or it is not compatable with Logitech G13's. When I connected it it all worked fine for about an hour then the trouble began. First I noticed my Mamba mouse would connect and disconnect, then noticed the G13 resetting every few seconds. This continued to the point of having to disconnect each part to locate the obvious issue.
After 2 hours of trouble shooting I gave up. Put the G15 back in and all is well. Even put a G11 on line and problems went away.
The 510 is not compatable with other logitech products and escpecially not compatable with Razor products.
BTW .. my system was running perfect with no issues before the addition of the G510. I love the G13 and the G15 (even witht he keys wearing out) but this 510, time for another brand and my money back!
ASUS Maximus III, i7860, 2X EVGA GT480 in SLI, 8 Gig Corsair Dominator GT with 3 SSD Drives. System is stellar and this keyboard almost hosed it all.

I got this keyboard as a replace for the G15. I love it so far. I have only had a it a few days but so far its great. It does more then the G15 did. Can simply do more things. its great to type on so smooth and easy. I don't like to have to hit the keys to make them work. So just above breathing on them more less is nice. I would recommend this one to any gamer or someone who just wants a little more to play with now and then.

Lot of great features, two i like the most, one is for sure the lcd that has some nice informations like fps from fraps application, and showing processor and ram usage.
The other is the ability to choose the backlight color, you open the Logitech Gaming Software, select the color tab, and then choose the color, that you can see changing real-time. You can select 3 colors, and assign them to 3 buttons, the M's above the G's keys on the left.
There are few things i would change or improve in this keyboard...
one would be more inclination, or lowering the part where the hands lay down. Also, i would make the characters a bit bigger, so they'r easier to see. Finally, i keep pressing the special key G16, unconsciously, when i want to press left control, you know, i mechanically move the hand and press the key at the further left side, This happens a lot because i barelly look at the keyboard, and guess what, its not the key i wanna press and that makes me go mad. (with myself, just a bit at logitech)
Overall it is a nice keyboard, that doesnt give me headaches like the razer used to, when it decided to stop working all together, or individual keys.
Oh btw, maybe it is kinda too big, because of the special keys, but i understand.

works fine until you go into hibernate or sleep, when you turn on your computer it will NOT load the display and you have to kill the logitech software in task manager and restart it every time you resume from sleep/hibernate. sometimes it will just lock up in the middle of a game or just browsing the internet. i looked on the forums and tried EVERY fix firmware update, keyboard power management... only works right with legacy software but i have a g930 headset and when i installed the software for that it installed the latest version of the gamepanel software. gave it a year for logitech to release a REAL fix but no fix. i will never buy logitech again. shouldve kept my ol g15

Ok, its pretty and its got TONS of features. It ends there. This keyboard feels SO cheap and cramped. It feels very flimsy and it will break at any second. Just has a cheap plastic feel that I am not used to. I have a g5 mouse and g27 wheel and they feel much stronger than this piece of junk.

Obviously its not the most ergonomic board. The ease of use has gotten better with the upgraded PC software. Would be nice if the LCD was color and not monochrome but changing the lights kinda balances it out i guess...Great Keyboard! It has been out for a while and yet very small list of compatible games for the LCD! Minus a star for that! add more of the major hit games like Assassin's Creed (all of them!), Crysis 2, StarCraft Wings of Liberty, the Sims 3....
CON: not compatible with itunes! (unless you install the sideshow gadget and even still it wouldnt work for me!)

Bought this one a few months back. It's a really well-put-together keyboard. The lighting is smooth and the RGB backlight is very bright, not to mention the LCD is very easy to read (a huge improvement over the G15). The integrated audio is crisp and the windows-independent mute buttons are great, especially the microphone mute.
The G keys are accessible and easy to work with, and the Soft buttons are reliable and give good tactile feedback. Keys are large and solid. The media controls are excellent; the volume roller is genius, and the key lock is always a nice feature to have.
Unfortunately, the keyboard does have a couple flaws. The biggest one is that the keyboard's way of handling audio being connected/disconnected is unfortunate, it would have been much nicer if the keyboard did not constantly disconnect/reconnect as a different device depending on whether something is plugged in. The lack of a rear USB hub is unfortunate, but I believe there was a very good explanation for why.
On a final note, as a hobby programmer, I absolutely LOVE how easy the keyboard hardware is to work with. Controlling this 'board is incredibly easy, and Logitech went all-out with it. However, that does lead into my only real design question; with the keyboard able to send status updates about the special keys, why not just report the audio connection state that way instead of disconnecting/reconnecting the keyboard (and, by extension, disrupting anything the user is doing)?

I have had this keyboard for about a week now.
Been a very comfortable switch to this keyboard with no dramas. The G keys are easy to programme, even for someone like me who has never used a decent keyboard before. The back light is amazing and the LCD screen not only looks amazing but has some pretty useful options too. It's a great keyboard, only downside is no USB hub. Though I use the Logitech g700 gaming mouse on wireless so this isn't so much of an issue for me.
