Press release; Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES Asia

Swiss peripheral vendor Logitech yesterday introduced the G15 keyboard for gamers. Its adjustable-tilt, backlit LCD display shows users crucial information during game play and allows to set timers to keep track of game events, claims the company.

The 18 programmable "G Keys" allows you to execute macros – like the casting of spells in World of Warcraft – with the press of a single button, said the company, adding that the G15 also features a switch that turns off the 'Windows' key.

The gaming keyboard is slated to hit store shelves in Taiwan by the end of this month, with a suggest price of NT$2,590 (US$81), according to the company.
