Logitech G105 vs Saitek Cyborg V5 gaming keyboards.

[Nick Soucy]

I have my build set up as a gaming rig, and I am trying to find a good keyboard for it. I play a lot of MMOs, RTSs, and FPSs. I narrowed it down to these to and price doesn't matter between the two. I need help picking one.

the g105 features 6 Macro keys (with 3 profile so 18 macro possible) over the Saitek...

I owned several Logitech keyboard (two G11, one G510 and one G19) they had beer, cola, many drop (in transport) and none of them failed, i sell a g11, still running the other in my garage, my G510 is on my sever and my G19 on my gaming rig...

The macro keys are a must as you can start application from them and that eliminate shortcut on the desktop, looks nice and you'll really like this once you'll be using that for a week or two 😉 You'll never go back ^^

You can also record macro on the fly and setup applcation profile so in that game, the shortcut will turns into macro for that specific game, in another it'll do other things, etc... The recording also records delay between keypress so if you're recording a burst and some skills are on cd, the delay will be recorded and the macro will do exactly the same thing you just do and that will work perfectly...

FYI: i bought the g11 in 2006 or 2007, the g510 in 2010 and my G19 about 6 months ago

Okay so out of curiosity how is the G510?

AWESOME !!!, love that thing but i buyed a G19 for the LCD (the g510 lcd is the same one that was on the older G15 so only black and white but colored by the keyboard color while the G19's lcd is a real screen with all color available)

Still the lcd on the g510 was very useful paired with LCDSirreal (little applet that does almost everything ^^)

I recommend it without hesitation if you want more Macro and/or the lcd screen, this little screen show you a lot of things in game like who's speaking in Teamspeak 3, the time, title of a song, etc...

I just want to know how the g510 is related to g105 vs cyborg v5. This was so not helpful if looking for a Budget keyboard.
