Quick review of the Logitech G11 keyboard.

The Good:
It has loads of programmable buttons, "G keys", you can also have up to three different actions programmed into each key. So for example in strategy games you can set "G1" to select building "A" and build 10 of unit "X". I'm yet to come with uses for this is MTW2/STW2 in multilayer mode, perhaps having one button to get your army set up in formation.

Backlit keys, not a huge thing for me as I normally play with the light in the room on anyway but can be useful for those of you who game in the dark. Plus it just looks nice lol

USB ports on the back of the keyboard. Always helpful to have a few extra USB ports, for memory stick, charging stuff etc.

Normal use/gaming toggle key, this disables keys you don't need when gaming, how many times have you been playing and pressed the Windows key by accident and minimised the game?

It also has quite a nice feel and I find it good for typing on.

The Bad:
Would be a bit too pricey for some people, then again people pay £150 odd for the G19.

The big downside with this keyboard is with the USB ports. They're both USB1 which while USB2/3 will still work with them means your transfer speed will be a lot slower.

Score:
I'd give this a 4/5, it would have been 5/5 but for the fact that it's USB1 instead of USB2.
