How does the backlighting compare to the venerable G11? Dimmer, brighter, same?

Seemed similar. I hated this keyboard, though. I returned it after a week.Several of the buttons double type. For example, one press of the space bar gives 2-3 spaces every ten times. Drove me crazy

yes, it is brighter but you also have different colors to choose from as well.

As I don't own a G11 per say, but got to handle a "sample" one in a store, I don't know the lighting aspects in all light. However, because of the wide color+alpha ranges the G510s is capable of, you can get dimmed colors and VERY bright colors. Even in sunlight many light settings come through.

The keyboard backlighting does not appear to be impacted much. The Kuzy silicone is black on the key surfaces but clear on the key sides and edges. The light is probably attenuated a little through the silicone but not enough to diminish the back lighting effect.

I haven't used the ZXE's product so I really can't compare the two. I wil say the GE is really bright and is a marked improvement over the bulbs they replaced.Thanks

Hi, unfortunately the whole set of keys will have the same colour. I figured out why individual keys are lighted so dim, it is largely due to having too small see-thru sections for the lighting to come through. Still, it is a sturdy keyboard. I am pounding on it and it is working fine. As for Mice, the corded G600 is excellent for its price. Superb Value. My hand doesn't cramp grasping it for hours on end.

Backlighting brightness is the same as on the 650 (I have both remotes). The keys below the screen have backlighting that will activate when the remote senses movement, the keys above the screen have no backlighting.

I had the same question about the G10. I asked the BB guy and he said for some reason the stores try to sell the LCDs more and the G10 was set at a less bright setting, appearing less attractive to a buyer (??). He also changed the setting to VIVID and the PQ looked as bright as anything else. I did a lot of research online and both G10 and G15 are hands down the best plasma for the money, if you care about true picture quality and not just think brighter is better. I'm monitoring the price of G15 to order mine.

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

Thanks. I'm still struggling with the decision. I saw a review on CNET for the Vizio with full array backlighting with local dimming and the review said that there were still clouding issues. So, I guess I may as well keep this set if I'm not going to get a plasma.

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?

I dont seem to have that issue at all. Backlight is very even on light and dark backgrounds.

Same or more brightness. But the REAL feature is that the LED light is more "pleasing" (comfortable - warmer?)

I found the G10 to be brighter in the store, but of course it was playing a Blue Ray. However, in my research, I found that the G10 actually puts out more light than a typical plasma, therefore better picture in a bright room. The TV may have been playing in THX mode which is dimmer and supposed to be played on that setting in a dark room...ex. at night watching a movie to simulate theater color. During the day, play the G10 at the Custom color setting. I dont have mine yet. It arrives tomorrow and will be located in a brighter room, so hope all works out!

Not much difference at all. the G510 has a little more control over the color of the lights for the keys, and conrtol over the sound system including mute. In my opinion either board you select you will have as good ad there is on the market. ps Logitech didn't pay me a nickle for this testimony and I mean every word of it!

I've used the G20 paired with a Light Panels mini and the quality is actually very good. My clients are very happy with it. Never used a Sony.

I'm using this keyboard with an IOgear GCS634U 4-port KVM. I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak to any of those issues. I'm also using the SetPoint software because I have a Logitech wireless mouse as well. I have two laptops and one desktop on the KVM and I don't see any issues. The backlighting works fine as well as the special purpose keys (volume, web keys, etc.).

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D
