So at the end of the day is the G510 the keyboard for you? That really depends on if you want a mechanical keyboard. With that being the new trend I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to go that route. But if you want to go with a non-mechanical keyboard I really don’t think there is a better option on the market. Logitech has put a lot of time perfecting its G series of keyboards and other than a few small issues that I had it really is a quality product. A lot of people put the HUD screen down as a gimmick, and for the most part I would agree. But If you spend a lot of time in Vent the added cost of the screen will pay off. And for those of you with an old G15, this is as close as you can get to your original keyboard. You will also end up with a few new features to boot!
You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.

I was talking with Wingless about keyboards over the weekend. Whey don't they just offer a small screen that could be mounted to a keyboard or even onto a monitor for stats and other fun things? it could be plugged into a USB port and would be fully customizable to display anything from game stats to system specs which in game.
Wingless agreed that it would be a good idea, but he figured the price point would be too high to make it marketable. I know i'd spend $30-$40 for one as it would be cool to have since i don't wannt spend tons of money on a keyboard that only had a small screen on it,
Yea, Dave, and I were talking and I said I want a mechanical keyboard but with the screen off of the G510. If Logitech made that, I would buy it.
Even if they did offer a separate screen it would be pricey. I would be more willing to spend $150 on a nice mechanical keyboard with a screen than any old keyboard with a $50 add on screen.
