LOGITECH GAMING SOFTWARE

Typically since the keyboard doesn't come with a software CD you will need to download the latest firmware and drivers/software package from the official Logitech support page.

Updating the firmware only takes around a minute so i don't recommend skipping it.

The Logitech Gaming Software GUI is exactly the same we saw with the G910 and G410 keyboards so once again the main screen shows you a picture of the keyboard and all the available options/tabs right beneath it.

You can remap all of the keyboards keys from the first tab or you can also use one of the ready profiles the software may (or may not) have already loaded for compatible games installed in your system (after that you can save your settings for use later on) and of course you can also choose which keys you want disabled when gaming mode is on.

Again there are three lighting modes available, freestyle, zones and effects. Freestyle allows the end user to select individual keys to illuminate, zones allows you to group keys together while the effects mode can be used with several custom presets including color wave, color cycle, breathing, star effect and key press (you can also change direction and speed).

Personally i like the Freestyle and Zone modes since i like grouping keys together and changing their color.

The key press heat map is also available and again although i don't consider this to be important i hear that it can be really useful for people who are looking for ways to improve the speed of their gaming.

It may not look like it since it lacks a smartphone/tablet dock but the G810 also supports Logitech's Arx Control.

Here we’ve placed some of the available illumination modes and effects for all of you to see.
