I'm sure most of you have already heard of the Logitech G15 keyboard, it may be one of the most sought after keyboards lately.  Personally, I am one to somewhat keep track of what new items and stock some of my local computer stores have, and I know that most of them are selling G15's like hotcakes.  And not to mention they were constantly sold out after the initial launch of this keyboard on August 11th 2005.  Well we at Techware Labs wanted to check out this keyboard for ourselves, and thanks to our friends over at CrazyPC we are able to do just that.  Let's get right to it.

Unless you've been under a rock most of your life, then you likely know Logitech.  But just in case, if for whatever reason you don't, here is some information about them...

Logitech designs, manufactures and markets personal peripherals that enable people to effectively work, play, and communicate in the digital world. The company's products combine essential core technologies, continuing innovation, award-winning industrial design and excellent price performance.

Logitech International is a Swiss public company traded on the SWX Swiss Exchange under the symbol LOGN and on the Nasdaq National Market System under the symbol LOGI. The company has manufacturing facilities in Asia and offices in major cities in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Logitech's origins lie in the OEM sector, which remains an important part of its business, and represented 13 percent of the company's total sales in Fiscal 2005. To meet the demands of its OEM customer base, which includes most of the world's largest PC manufacturers, Logitech offers high-volume manufacturing with focused quality control, worldwide distribution and logistics, and the ability to leverage its infrastructure under changing demand conditions.

Logitech continues to broaden its product offering and its presence in the retail sector.  This is fueled by a trend among consumers to enhance their basic PC systems with more fully featured personal peripherals that add functionality and cordless freedom to their desktops.  They are also purchasing supplementary devices designed for new applications and specific purposes such as gaming, multimedia, or audio and visual communication over the Internet.  Further, Logitech´s retail business includes personal peripherals for platforms beyond the PC, such as gaming consoles, portable music players, mobile phones and home-entertainment systems.

Today, Logitech's retail business accounts for 87 percent of its revenue.  To provide the market with a broadening array of best-of-category products, Logitech's business model calls for supplementing its internal engineering and manufacturing strength with additional products and technologies through a combination of strategic acquisitions and industry partnerships.
