Razer DeathStalker Ultimate

Top Con

Stiff keys

Unlike most of Razer’s high-end keyboards, this one doesn’t use mechanical key switches, making the keys stiff and not very responsive. See More

Top Pro

Attractive backlighting

This keyboard's keys have a nice, soft backlighting that make the keyboard very aesthetically pleasant. See More

LCD:Yes

Logitech G19

Top Con

Legacy product

G19 is a legacy product, its firmware is not upgradeable and the keyboard itself is superseded by the newer G19s model. See More

Top Pro

LCD is supported by Aida64

You can use the Aida64 utility to monitor various computer status such as CPU/GPU/HDD temperature or CPU/GPU frequency on this keyboard's LCD. This is really handy to see how your computer is balanced in various games: you can see if your CPU is starting to bottleneck your graphics card (or vice versa), thus gaining significant insight on whether and what you need to upgrade on your PC.

I've owned one for many years, and love it. See More

Specs

LCD:Yes

Top Con

Unreasonably expensive for what you get

Top Pro

Unofficial Linux support

There's at least one community-maintained unofficial driver for the LCD screen on Linux See More

Top Con

LCD Display Shorts Out

In many cases the wires rub bare from the LCD assembly and it shorts out the screen. See More

Top Con

Requires separate power adapter

This keyboard requires (and comes with) a separate power adapter in order to power key backlighting, LCD and powered USB hub. Without it, it still works as a basic keyboard without backlighting, LCD and unpowered USB hub. It's disappointing that they didn't find a way to power it via USB (even if using an additional USB cable), the power adapter it comes with is really crappy. Note that it is possible to mod it so that it is powered via Molex directly by the PSU to avoid using the crappy power adapter it comes with. This gives an additional benefit of keyboard drawing zero power when the computer is off. See More

Top Con

LCD displays ugly bright white Logitech logo until drivers load

Until Logitech Gaming Software loads and reapplies settings after bootup, you're stuck with a jarring white Logitech logo at full brightness on the keyboard's LCD. This is fixed in the updated G19s keyboard (logo is black), but G19 doesn't have updateable firmware. See More

Top Con

Uneven lighting

Because G19 uses plastic light guides to spread the light rather than having one LED per key, keys are lit non-uniformly, with some of them being partially unlit and having dark grid-like pattern across. This is a design failure. See More
