Software

One of the best things about Logitech’s Gaming product line is their gaming software. The gaming software works with everything from their current product line and most anything introduced in the last 5+ years. This integration makes it very easy for you to buy into the entire Logitech eco system when you know you only have to keep one program running for your headset, mouse, keyboard, and even gamepad. When you hook up a Logitech device the first screen you come too has a large photo of the device, in this case the G19s, along the bottom is a smaller photo of the keyboard with arrows where we can flip to our other installed Logitech devices.

The first functional page for the G19s is the macro page where we can see all of the side macro keys in the photo. Each key can be clicked on and you can select from a long list of commands or if you would like you can create your own macro. Logitech allows you to program them to media functions as well as shortcuts, voice avatars if you have a Logitech headset hooked up, and mouse functions if you have a Logitech mouse hooked up. As you can see up on the top, you can setup different profiles or if you would like the software will actually scan for installed games and setup premade profiles specific to that game. Those profiles will load for you when the game executable is loaded, making it very easy to have custom macros specific to each game.

The next page is for the color LCD screen applets and their configuration options. Here you can select what applets you would like to have active and if you would like you can adjust their settings as well as the screens brightness.

The next page is all about the keyboard backlighting coloring. You can select from a few premade colors or use the color wheel or RGB sliders. Here you can also adjust the back light brightness as well. As you toy with the colors the keyboard will adjust on the fly for you to get a good feel for a color before locking it down.

The last page is where you can backup your custom profiles directly to the keyboard. This is perfect for people who have multiple PCs that they game on using the one keyboard. If you played in tournaments for example this would be very helpful. For me, I don’t have much of a need for it.
