Time to break into a sweat you gearheads (including me)!  The review is in for the most anticipated new gaming keyboard since CES 2009.  Jeremy Atkinson, of ExtremeTech, has posted his Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard Review.  Here an excerpt of Jeremy's review of this amazing keyboard:

This is not your ordinary keyboard. Nope. No way.

In fact, if what you're looking for in your next keyboard is something just to type on, then follow our advice: turn away, go, run as far away as possible and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Logitech's G19 keyboard is, well, a bit over the top. That's safe to say because it really is. And if you, Mr. ExtremeTech reader are just so extreme enough, then this keyboard's for you.

At center stage for the Logitech's G19 keyboard is the main attraction: a 320x240 pixel color screen. With this you can cycle through a variety of apps, from a performance monitor on CPU and memory usage, to gaming stats and data of more than 60+ games. It can be your own personal digital photo frame, or video player—it can even stream YouTube videos. Yes, we're still talking about a keyboard.

Without this LCD, the G19 is a macro keyboard, riddled with programmable keys that gamers have learned to tailor to their favorite games. Each key is backlit with any color of your choice, and there are three gaming profiles to choose from if you're a hardcore macro junkie.

There's plenty more to talk about, which we'll get to in the next page. And we won't spare any detail on what we like, and dislike, about the G19. Let's see if this beast is really worth coughing up two Benjamins. Continued...
