http://dicksmith.com.au/product/YG0924/logitech-g110-gaming-…

Cheapest I seen this keyboard brand new~! I've had this keyboard for about 6 months and paid $45 second hand but absolutely love it!!. It has features for gaming but best of all there is backlit lighting for the keys which there is thousands of different colours. I love it because it has a USB input on the top and headphone and microphone jack. Good for mouses or portable hard drives or just normal usb sticks.

Cheapest from Logitechshop was $60
Cheapest from Staticice = $64

Not to sure why dicksmith has been banned but this is a great and deserves it's own post.

-Great for gamers
-Great backlit colour customizable features

      I can't link it to dicksmith.com.au directly, seems to have been banned to stop dupes.

        so that's how you do it coz been trying to post it 6 hours ago but dse domain is banned :) anyway as i've said on the other post ($10 starcraft dse), it was displayed as clearance before new year for $53.96 (40% off) so i bought via click and collect but missed the 24 hour reservation limit coz i was out of town, checked it last night and it's only $40 (cheaper than clearance) so i got one and picked it up today, not sure if this is a pricing error coz the guy at the counter was surprised as well since the normal price is about $80 and said he's gonna keep one for himself

    i have this keyboard, its alright. Its quite big and bulky, and everytime i download their logitech software for the customizable keys, my computer dosent run right. lol. so its stuck on one colour. i paid about $130. but $40 is quite a good bargain!

    • aerona on 02/01/2013 - 23:13

      I thought it was quite slim and looked nice when you leave the palm rest part off. Yes it's great I loved this and would even contemplating to replace this one!

        haahh, the damn arm wrist is annoying as hell.

    • stewy on 03/01/2013 - 01:18

      Yeah I have this keyboard and love it. Don't think I paid anywhere near $130.

      Can't comment on the software, I only play FPS stuff and have no need for the custom keys so have never used the Logitech software!

  • One Drone on 02/01/2013 - 23:19

    Paid $54 inc delivery in Nov 2011. I will be getting a replacement shortly. At an angle you can't see the LED buttons from the reflection of your screen; bad if you can't touch type. The buttons are tacky and awkward to type on and I didn't even bother attaching the wrist rest. For something you use all the time, get a better keyboard. Function keys good for games.

    • aerona on 02/01/2013 - 23:22

      At an angle you can't see the LED buttons from the reflection of your screen; bad if you can't touch type.

      True, The G-Buttons on the left do take some time to avoid I noticed, But 2 weeks later it begins to second nature (location of keys that is) but I guess that's like every keyboard though. Oh I also forgot to mention you can turn the lights off easily and disable CTRL - windows keys with the toggle on the top which is quite easy. To reduce minimizing accidents.

      I really like this keyboard and will vouch, the best is the volume scroll'er on the right/mute button and the play/stop/next/back features dedicated to music lovers.

        exactly why i havent replaced mine after many years of use. Still waiting on a cherry blue kb with a volume wheel.

        • aim54x on 03/01/2013 - 18:30

          My gigabyte aivia osmium has cherry red switches but does have an awesome volume scroll wheel….. It is a shame there aren't other switch options for this board

    It concerns me that the description on the page has nothing about the actual keys on it. Eg what type of keys they are (blue red etc..).

    • krisspy on 02/01/2013 - 23:30

      Any shade between blue and red. No green

      They aren't mechanical if that is what you're thinking.

    • viggenn on 02/01/2013 - 23:33

      are you referring to it having mechanical switches? if so, it's not a mechanical keyboard.

      Did you even bother scrolling down just a little?

      The Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard is what you need to step up your game–custom-colour backlighting, integrated USB audio, twelve programmable G-keys, and a whole lot more.

      Custom-colour backlighting*
      You can easily locate the correct keys, even in the dark. Plus, you can mix red and blue backlighting LEDs in varying intensities to create custom colours.

      Twelve programmable G-keys
      Three macros per key let you configure up to 36 unique functions per game, including single keypresses or complex macros. You can even create macros on the fly.

    • highdealer on 02/01/2013 - 23:50

      if they stock it they should, but expect most of them to pull the below cost price bs

      • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2013 - 01:41

        Coming from someone who use to work in fast food trust me when I say sometimes the less people feel important the more they feel the need to assert their authority. Most people aren't like this and would just price match against a printed screen capture of the website but some feel the need to tell people they are wrong… Last time I tried to get something price matched it was the HL-2132 printer from Dick Smith and it was like $5 cheaper with the pricematch and they just stood me in front of the counter while they tried to find a reason to not match it for 10 minutes until I said "don't worry about it" and just paid and left.

  • Gina Rinehart on 02/01/2013 - 23:49

    At this price, I would have gone with this instead of a mechanical keyboard.

    That said, mechanical keyboards are awesome :P If you can't get this deal, I suggest blowing the budget a little and getting one. You won't believe it until you try it :)

  • Crys on 03/01/2013 - 00:12

    Excellent deal for an awesome keyboard. I bought one for $54 when Dick Smith did the 40% of KBs in the XXXL sale about 7 months ago. Even at that price it was worth every cent.

    It's the best keyboard I've ever owned. Love the volume scroller and overall design and feel of it. All the macro G-buttons are a godsend, especially if you do any programming or need lots of macro shortcuts.

    I grew up with mechanical keyboards in the 90s and still had an old one before I upgraded to this and really can't understand the hype. Would replace this one with another G110 in a heartbeat if it ever died.

  • andyD101 on 03/01/2013 - 00:25

    I'm not a big fan of installing extra software to use peripherals. Can you use the G-keys without installing the logitech junk?

    • aerona on 03/01/2013 - 00:32

      Not that I know of, although I got to say it's a non-intrusive extra software so it's good thing.
      Only uses about 54000 K memory and you only really need it open when you need it to change something.

    • Crys on 03/01/2013 - 01:44

      I can vouch for what aerona said, it hides in the background nicely and doesn't come with a whole bunch of junk you don't need. I think I installed the basic one and not the full suite, mine uses less than 20MB of RAM. You need it to program/use the macros and also it is used for setting up the personal colour backlights.

      By default without installing the software you will be stuck with the blue backlight. The software lets you set 3 different coloured backlights switch-able by keyboard function keys. I've set mine up for red, purple and blue. Red is the brightest of the colours, the rest are fairly dull.

  • Tenebrae on 03/01/2013 - 03:38

    Windows only?

    • DarwinBoy on 03/01/2013 - 05:13

      DSE specs says it works with Mac, so probably yes.

    • theguyrules on 03/01/2013 - 09:45

      It'll work with Mac, but I don't think the Logitech software is available for OS X, so some functions won't be available, ie. the G keys.

  • futaris on 03/01/2013 - 04:42

    Integrated USB audio & headphone jack?

    G110 is supported by Gnome15 under linux:

    • Ace on 03/01/2013 - 05:55

      Integrated USB audio & headphone jack?

      You can plug headphones and a mic into the top of the keyboard. Most gaming keyboards have that feature nowadays.

  • wxwsf on 03/01/2013 - 08:58

    just bought one from officeworks with price match & 5% cheaper

    very confuse with key M1, M2 & M3, i only can change those led light when the logitech software opened

    anyone help pls

    • IJustKnowStuff on 03/01/2013 - 09:45

      How did you get the price match? This sounds like an idea for me. Seems stock levels are out in Brisbane….will they check that and say "no deal"?

      • wxwsf on 03/01/2013 - 17:06

        Just show the dse web page on the phone, and they have to give u $2 cheaper than $40。 ψ(｀∇´)ψ
        They can't say nooooo, that is policy from officeworks

    • Crys on 03/01/2013 - 23:29

      The M1, M2 & M3 keys will only work with the logitech software running in the background. Same with the G-keys for macros. It should stay running in the background on your taskbar.

  • Master Bates on 03/01/2013 - 09:24

    Can anyone confirm the length of the USB cable? I probably have to go wireless, but if it has a 2m+ cord it will work because I really want a back-lit keyboard for my HTPC (yes this might be overkill).

    • IJustKnowStuff on 03/01/2013 - 09:50

      I actually have one ordered from Toombul, but if I can pricematch at Office Works then I can just pick it up in the city (if they have any) and let someone else have the Toombul one.

  • IJustKnowStuff on 03/01/2013 - 09:47

    Anyone know if there's a button on the KB that lets you turn off the backlighting? (Or if you can confirm if the lights switch off when the PC's off….by mouse/kb lights tend to stay on atm)

    • nothommus on 03/01/2013 - 09:49

      There's a button that does switch off illumination. Watch this video, it helps a lot.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjZHTxqQmrY

      EDIT:
      As for the lights off when PC's off. I havent got one yet, but i would assume they would stay on (for my pc anyway). Reason i think this is i know when i leave external hard drives or other usb devices, they stay powered when my pc is off. Many nights ive been woken up by an annoying blinking light from across the room before i storm over and rip out a poor unsuspecting usb device. Theres probably a bios setting or something to change this behavior but im happy to just hit the illumination toggle for now.

      • IJustKnowStuff on 03/01/2013 - 10:21

        Haha that's exactly why I was asking. As long as there's a switch I'm more than happy. I already power off my monitors, an extra button won't kill me.

        • nothommus on 03/01/2013 - 21:04

          Can confirm, lights turn off when pc is off!

    • aerona on 03/01/2013 - 10:09

      It's a Gamers keyboard so noise reduction wasn't really considered(so quite loud) but durability was, I would suggest maybe getting a mechanical keyboard for offices/sharedrooms.

    typing this on the new keyboard, very nice. finding it very difficult to avoid hitting the G keys on the left however. Otherwise seems fantastic. love the volume scroller and the inbuilt headphone, mic jack and usb. finding the shift key is awkward, perhaps i will get used to it in time.

        you have to search it through the dicksmith website once you are in the starcraft 2 product page.i went to the store in rockdale nsw. for starcraft2 you have to order it online first.

  • voiletmay on 03/01/2013 - 15:34

    Thanks, grabbed the last keyboard at my local store.

    Lettering on keys is very small and thin (compared to a razer blackwidow gaming keyboard - I have one sitting right next to the G110 for comparison) and with the razer, they keys are much easier to read.

    I did turn the colour of the letters from blue to red and that does make it easier to read and brighter.

    In terms of typing - very quiet and smooth (well in comparison to a mechanical keyboard).
