Key features:

Color GamePanel LCD

A tiltable, color GamePanel LCD displays game stats, system information, VOIP communication data, video playback, image slideshows, and many other items, without leaving the game.

User-Selectable Character Backlighting Color

Lets you personalize the keyboard to complement the rest of your computer and gaming equipment.

12 Fully Programmable G-keys with Three Macros Per Key

Provide space to program 36 time-saving commands per game (single keypresses or complex macros). The MR key allows you to record new macros on-the-fly.

Two High-Speed, Powered USB 2.0 Ports

You can connect and power devices – such as your G9x Laser Mouse or G35 Headset – with the two high-speed USB 2.0 ports. You also have the ability to transfer data to and from peripherals – like MP3 players and flash drives – while providing power to charge battery-powered devices.

Game Mode Switch

A game/desktop mode switch lets you disable the Windows /Context Menu keys so you don't get accidentally kicked out of your game.

Multi-Key Input

Performing multiple actions simultaneously is also made easier with the keyboard's multi-key input-functionality, which allows you to engage up to five keys at the same time.

The G19 is too bulky.

Also, it has its own dedicated a power chord that plugs into a wall.
