MW3 goodness with some cheap keyboard badness.
By Jerry Jackson Jr.
Let me start off by saying I am a HUGE fan of Logitech keyboards and mice. I've used many input devices over the years but I keep coming back to Logitech for a reason: They make good products. That said, I'm not as impressed as I should be with the Logitech G105 Call of Duty MW3 Edition.

Before I get into my complaints, let's start with what I like. I like the keyboard LED backlighting which helps make the keyboard visible in a dark room (the typical environment when gaming "seriously" with MW3). I also like the narrow depth of the keyboard from front to back ... this not only takes up less space on my desk than a typical gaming keyboard but it also means the keys are slightly closer together making rapid key strokes easy during a game. I also like having the "WASD" keys a different color because it's easy to glance down at the keyboard and quickly bring my fingers back to the "home" keys for character movement in the middle of a game. I'm also happy that this backlit gaming keyboard only uses one USB cord; some gaming keyboards use two USB ports and I don't like taking up ports unless I have to.

Now for the problems.

Although the keyboard backlight is cool and in keeping with the theme of MW3, Logitech should have made it possible to change the color of the LEDs using the Logitech software. The matching Logitech M9X MW3 mouse has customizable LEDs that you can change to other colors, so why not let people change the LED color on the keyboard? Likewise, I don't think the maximum brightness setting is bright enough for the backlight. There needs to be one higher setting. My final complaint about the backlight is that the media shortcut keys (volume control) aren't backlit despite the fact that they look backlit on the box. This makes it impossible to see which FN key is responsible for mute, volume up or volume down when the room lights are off.

The keyboard keys themselves feel perfect with just the right about of throw (depth of movement) when pressed, but several of the keys make a loud SQUEAKING sound when pressed ... generally a sign of cheap plastics used in the scissor mechanism under the key. My space bar, M key and F key all make a sharp squeak when pressed. If the squeaking noise doesn't go away after a few days of "break in" use then I'll have to stop using this keyboard because the squeaks are driving me crazy.

My only remaining complaint about the G105 is the lack of a wrist rest. If you look on the back side of the keyboard you'll notice two connection tabs at the front edge of the keyboard where a wrist rest is supposed to be connected. I own two other Logitech keyboards with detachable wrist rests so I immediately recognized what these tabs were designed for, but Logitech doesn't include a wrist rest with this keyboard and Logitech doesn't offer a wrist rest as an optional accessory. I guess Logitech got rid of the wrist rest to bring down the price of the keyboard.

I probably would have overlooked most of the problems I mentioned if this keyboard was priced below $50. Overall, the Logitech G105 MW3 Edition is a good gaming keyboard with a number of minor quirks. As long as the squeaky key problem goes away I'd probably recommend this keyboard as long as you can find it on sale.

The Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard is Not Just for Call of Duty
By Thomas Wikman
This keyboard has a high "cool factor" and my middle son, who plays a lot of games love it. He is not too much into Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 but he plays a lot of other games and the special features of the keyboard comes in handy for other things as well. For example, I've used one macro keys to program ctrl-alt-del to launch the task manager, and I've used the macro keys to quickly insert often used words and word combinations when writing documents.

The keyboard has a numerical keypad, which I use to quickly type certain extended ascii characters (writing in a foreign language), and it has many useful specialty keys. The keyboard also has a game/desktop mode switch, which disables the windows/context menu keys, and you can use the F-keys keys for volume, mute, start, stop, pause, play, pause, rewind, etc. However, I've seen keyboards with specialty keys for these things as well as a dial for the volume, so I would say that this keyboard is OK in this regard but not great.

The keyboard has six programmable G-keys (G1 to G6), which functionality can be toggled using M-keys (M1 to M3) giving you in total 18 unique functions. You press the macro record key MR to then the macro key, your sequence, and then MR again. To be able to use the macro keys you need to download the software. One complaint I have is that the web site given does not take you straight to where you download and the web site given inside the quick guide is not even correct. So you will need to do a little bit of browsing on the Logitech website. It is not a big deal; it took 20 seconds, but still.

What gives this keyboard a high cool factor is the fact that keys are backlit (green LED backlighting). The LED backlighting has three discrete levels and you cannot change the color, which is not as cool as some other keyboards. However, most keyboards I own do not have any backlighting.

I think the keyboard is fairly comfortable. The keys are not flat, easy to locate and has a comfortable feel when you press them. It is much better than the flat and dull feeling the keys have on some keyboards. The keyboard is mostly quiet but perhaps not as quiet as one might want.

This keyboard is not wireless, which I don't see as a disadvantage. Wireless keyboards needs batteries and I've noticed delays with wireless keyboards that I don't see with this USB wired keyboard. A wireless mouse is more useful since you move the mouse around a lot but keyboards are mostly static.

Overall I am pretty happy with this keyboard and my son who uses it the most likes it as well. It is not a perfect gaming keyboard but I think it is decent.

Versatile Gaming Keyboard
By Lonnie E. Holder
Rarely have I found a device marketed towards gamers that actually performs in a manner that is effective for gaming, but Logitech's G105 Call of Duty MW3 keyboard works well both during games and outside of the gaming sphere.

Often a manufacturer uses a trendy logo, a fancy color scheme or flashy lighting without actually considering the function of their device with respect to gaming. In a keyboard, things like key response and feedback, ease of editing for programmable buttons, and the design of the keyboard itself all play into its suitability as a gaming keyboard.

The G105's response and feedback are excellent. I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port on an Alienware laptop and I found that the keyboard was able to transfer my wishes in a game into reality without any delay. The keys are very springy without any sign of the "mushiness" I see in some modern keyboards. While this keyboard is not a metal-springed IBM monstrosity, it still feels good under my fingers.

The programmable buttons are a big change for me. I have never been a big fan of MMOs and similar games that promote the use of macros, so until now I have never found a use for keys such as these. After playing around with this keyboard, though, I have discovered there is much more to programmable keys than just macros. I was able to map these keys in Windows to open various programs or folders with a single keystroke. I was also able to program various multiple-key combinations to activate with a single key. In gaming, being able to program weapon changes and armor load outs on the fly helps streamline the gaming experience and leads to an improved, smoother session.

As for the design of the keyboard itself, I have a couple of specific points that really impressed me. First, the location of the programmable keys is optimal for anyone accustomed to playing a first-person shooter or MMO using the WASD key configuration. The keys are just to the left of the left edge of the normal keys, within reasonably easy reach for someone with hands as small as mine are (and I have somewhat small hands). The keyboard "prop-up" tabs on the bottom are ideally placed as well, as anyone who has a keyboard with the tabs aligned vertically can attest when pulling the keyboard towards them. In a vertical alignment, a pull towards the user can make the keyboard collapse, but in a horizontal configuration such as the G105, that problem is a thing of the past. Finally, a quick mention about the lights: they are perfect. The lighting is not only even across the entire keyboard, but the 3 different lighting levels (dim, bright, and off) allows for perfect viewing in any sort of room without ever being a distraction.

For the casual or hard core gamer, I think Logitech got the gaming keyboard concept right and this keyboard would be a welcome addition to any gaming rig. For the non-gamer, this keyboard offers some handy features, but I could just as easily suggest a cheaper model with fewer extraneous bells and whistles.

Enjoy!
