Cons

Expensive, Mushy key feel (to some)
No headphone/mic jacks; costs crazy bucks.
High MSRP, AC adapter hates vertical power strips, Limited backlighting brightness, Cable routing is ineffective when the G19 is propped up, Keys are responsive, but aren't mechanical in design.
High price could limit adoption and thus hurt community software momentum; configuration software needs consolidation.
Not that many programs for the LCD, Requires external power source
Expensive, LCD needs its own power supply.
LCD needs own power supply, Expensive at about $200
The price. No headphone or microphone ports.
Limited desktop space? This is NOT your keyboard. Price tag to match gargantuan footprint. Requires power brick to run. After its novelty wears off, builtin LCD becomes more of a distraction than a useful tool.
Price
Expensive.

So the G19 has a long list of kickass features that are useful for both gamers and workaholics alike. Of course not all of them are the most helpful, and with a price of just under 200 bones the G19 is out of range of most budget minded gamers. But!...

Although the G19 is brimming with features, none significantly improves your experience. They’re gimmicks, and as such they don’t justify the G19’s ridiculous asking price. This keyboard is particularly poor value for...

The G19 was a wonder to use while gaming. The keys were well–spaced, and Logitech builds in just enough resistance so that you're absolutely sure when a key is depressed. The LCD display (especially when playing a supported game), quickly became...
