It's like mixing colors for a lightsaber... except without the green.

Looking for a gaming keyboard with customizable LED backlit keys? Logitech today announced the follow up to its G11 keyboard with the G110. Yes, it's still a keyboard, but the G110 sets itself apart with a few new features.

The G110 has both red and blue LED backlights for the keys, allowing for complete red or completely blue lettering that'll glow in the dark. You can also mix the two colors together to create any shade of purple you like.

There are also 12 programmable G keys and M keys for custom functions and macros. If you're prone to hitting the Windows or context menu keys during gameplay, there's also a switch to disable those.

The G110 has integrated USB audio, so users can plug in any 3.5mm headphone and microphone to use it for in-game chat. It also comes with a single USB port for convenient plug ins of devices such as thumb drives or mice. Best of all, the whole keyboard only requires USB port.

Logitech hasn’t announced pricing or availability yet, but the outgoing G11 retailed for $70. We're hoping to see this on store shelves in time for the holidays.

That's a G19 without the LCD display, and I don't mean functions wise, IT IS a G19 without the display. Reading the article its also missing the green backlight colour that the G19 has as well.

So other then the funky new lighting, slightly altered setup and a new place to stick your headphones, is there any significant difference to the old G11? Cant really see one from the pics.
