So I maybe a bit late because I know these are getting a bit old (My G19S) but I have had these style keyboards for a long time. I was looking on their website and noticed that all I could find now are basic keyboards for gaming none having the screens or such like the G19S and they are not listed on their site except in the support area. So my question is just did they completely drop that line of keyboards, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
 
Yeah I also liked my G19 going back a few years, used it with games, Aida64, and relatively easy API to program with. Would've upgraded to a mechanical version. Logitech said they discontinued screens on their keyboards with the advent of smartphones and tried to use them instead with their app, but that didn't work out very well to say the least.

The G19 went from flagship product to discontinued product literally overnight.
 
What I saw for a minute were keyboards with docks for mobile devices, and with the manufacturers software on the phone, you could do all sorts of crazy stuff.
 
I think EVGA had a similar product though the LCD screen probably isn't as good
 
Nope! I’m gonna start snatching up used ones from buy and sell sites here...
 
Yea seems like its been. I may get something else after this keyboard like a standard mechanical one. I was just curious because I swear not long agao I saw them still listed and now they are gone.

I miss the old days when in games like BF2142 it would display extra info about your weapons that were not on screen or how (Still works right now) league of legends shows additional info.

Ebay.
Fair # of listings.

For me it’s been about AIDIA and heck since Everest I’ve used the custom monitoring from my G15, G19 and current G19s. Heck now I can even put RTSS FPS counter on my screen/s I use like 4/5 pages. General, GPU, Fans, Voltages, complete CPU usage/temps and just tack on stuff like:Up/Down speeds.
The game support was/is great I am sad the updated Borderlands Enhanced lost support but BL2 still works.

I have still got mine, but I was really hoping they would do a mechanical version as the keys on these have been to me the only weakness (At least for my use) as I wore out my last G19 'Q' key to where it would not read most of the time. Was hoping at some point if my G19S went out to get an upgrade.

I do like having the CPU, GPU, and other stats displayed on the screen as well.
 
The latest one in the spirit of G15 was G510s, but it's most likely EOL. I think the only up-to-date Logitech equivalent is G910 with a phone dock, but that's kinda lame.
There are some alternatives from EVGA and Razer, but I doubt that it'll be anywhere near the quality of old school unkillable membrane G15 or G19 boards.

That sucks. It was much easier on old-school A4Tech gaming boards(you can just swap the membrane dome with other useless keys or get one off the donor), but in G15 and G19 it's a solid membrane cover and can't be easily swapped.
If you are not shy of a bit of DIY, you can try and disassemble it completely, clean up the membrane (just wash it in a soapy water and rinse it). I think it's the same crap that happens to old remotes: rubber starts "bleeding" sticky goo which prevents the conductive pad from shorting PCB contacts.
If it's wear and tear, you can do the key swap by carefully cutting the dome with a scalpel, and then gluing it back with silicone adhesive, or something like a sealing glue for re-attaching LCDs in phones/tablets (but that's messy and absolute ghetto).

Whats’s neat is the import/export function too. My buddy and I have “twin rigs” so I just sent him my profile and he loved it.

any chance I could have a copy of that profile? my g19 is sadly nearing the end of its life, but I'd like to help prolong it as much as possible. thank you

I could but you understand it’s set up for my specs so most of it won’t show up or be in the right place etc? heck even that one is out of date, I’m constantly modifying it.
