It’s not going to help my game, but it just might yours: Logitech has introduced a new gaming keyboard, the G110. The G110 takes a big numerical leap over the Logitech’s existing G15 and G19 keyboards, and comes with some interesting new features--new for Logitech anyhow.
The G110 personalization starts with backlit keys, in your choice of red, blue, or any combination of red and blue (which makes purple!). There are 12 programmable “G-keys” and three “M-keys” which allow you to assign up to 26 single keystrokes, multi-key macros, or complex LUA scripts for each game you play. Logitech’s contribution to the keyboard arms race is the inclusion of integrated USB audio, simplifying the hook-ups for in-game chatter.
Logitech expects to have the G110 in the stores in November for a suggested retail price of $79.99.

This would pretty much be a perfect keyboard IF THEY INCLUDED A GREEN BACKLIGHT
Red and blue give you red, blue, purple, pink, etc. by mixing.
Green added to the mix gives you red, green, blue, yellow, purple, teal, orange, white, in any shade you want!
Seriously, how hard would it be to add a little GREEN?

We did RGB backlighting on the G19, so it's absolutely feasible to have this feature on a keyboard. With only 500 mA available from the USB port, however, it is not possible to have RGB backlighting and a USB hub port in a keyboard. It's also not allowed within the USB spec to have two USB cables on a device, which means the only way to have RGB backlighting and a USB hub in the same keyboard is to include a separate power supply, as we did with the G19 and which we chose not to do on the G110. Quite a few people have expressed a desire for RGB, however, so it's something we're thinking about pretty hard for the future.

It looks like their trying to appeal to the mid range customers with this keyboard. It still has some nice features but isn't as good as the G19.

Its a newer version of the G11 which is the non lcd version of G15.

The G11 had a LCD... it was blue (matched the backlit keys) and flipped down if you didnt want to see it...

Apparently no LCD. That's probably why its lower priced than the G15 or G19.
