Hi Paulo,

With the palmrest attached, the keyboard measures approximately 51cm x 24cm x 3cm (to the top of the keys). There are currently no plans for a Portuguese layout version. The manufacturing process of the G110 requires that we limit the number of different versions we produce, and unfortunately the Portuguese layout does not make the list.

Hi Skorteus,

It is unlikely that the extended functionality of the G110 (G-Keys, audio jacks, programmable backlighting colors) will function on any KVM that does not support the G15. The only way for these features to function through a KVM is for the KVM manufacturer to design their product to support the extended feature set of the keyboard.

Most KVM switches do not work as passthrough devices. In order to prevent the host PC from going through a full enumeration cycle every time the user switches between them (or to prevent the PC from hanging on boot due to the BIOS not detecting the presence of a keyboard), the KVM declares itself to the host system to be a keyboard and a mouse. In effect, the KVM is a small computer that receives input from the attached keyboard and mouse, and then forwards that information directly to the host PC. This means that if the KVM isn’t explicitly programmed to understand the all of the extended features of the keyboard, they will not function when attached to the KVM – the KVM will not see them and therefore will not forward them to the host PC. This is not something that we can control in the keyboard’s design process, as the additional functionality we put into the keyboard is inherently different from what the KVM expects to see coming from a standard keyboard.

Hi Wouter,

The G110 should be available in wide distribution over most of Europe by the end of January. When it will be available in a specific country or store is not possible for me to say.

Hi Jonas,

There will be a Swedish version of the G110, and it should be available on the Logitech online store as soon as it arrives in our European distribution center. It is likely that this will happen later this month.

Hi Wouter,

The volume roller changes the system volume, not the volume of an individual application.

Hi KaLPo,

It is available on our UK website so it should also be available in shops there as well. As the launch is relatively recent, availability will likely improve as time passes.

Hi swistaq,

The keys on the G110 are made of transparent plastic which is painted silver, then painted black. We then etch the characters in the keycap by burning the black paint off with a laser so that only the silver paint remains, and apply a protective coating. The characters are then illuminated by reflecting light up the key’s “chimney” and through the painted/etched keycap. Only the part of the etched character or characters that is over the chimney will show light coming through it. This means that keys (like Tab) can show a portion of the keycap that has less or no illumination. This is normal for those keys.

USB provides for two power levels – low and high. USB spec states that high power ports can provide a maximum of 500 mA to attached devices, while low power ports can only provide up to 100 mA. So, if you plug a 4-port hub that does not have a power supply into your PC, the hub’s chip will take all 500 mA that the PC’s port provides, distribute 100 mA to each of its four ports, and use the leftover power for running itself.

Since the G110 does not have an external power supply, its USB port is low power. Every USB device will tell the PC how much power it needs when it is plugged in, so if you plug a high power device into a low power port, the OS will inform you that the device requires more power. Most flash drives are not high power, but some are. This is most likely what is occurring on your PC, and this behavior is also normal.

Hi Cecilie,

We do have the ability to make Danish layout G110 keyboards, and I’m looking into why there are none currently available. When I have more information I will update you.

Hi Lando,

New profiles are typically added as we release new versions of the Profiler software, and a profile for Mass Effect 2 should be included in the next one. I don’t currently have a schedule for the next release, but typically they happen every few months. We’re working on a method to get them to be distributed more frequently, but it’s not going to be available for a while.

The backlight brightness is changed in the Profiler where the colors are changed – by clicking on one of the M-keys. Selecting a color at the bottom of the color picker makes the backlighting dimmer, and colors at the top are brighter.

Hi Sam,

The version of GamePanel software for Mac that was on our website was 3.01, and did not support the G110. The CD version that came with the G110 (3.02), did. We have just posted v3.03 to the site, which supports the G110 and fixes a couple other small issues. Hopefully this will help you out.

Hi Ram,

I’ve been searching for information on whether distributors in India have picked up the G110 but as yet have not found out anything. As a result, it’s really difficult for me to say whether it will be sold in Mumbai, or anywhere in India.

I don’t have dB ratings available,but I can say that it is a standard rubber-dome keyboard that is no louder than any other rubber-dome keyboard. It’s not as quiet as a scissor-key (laptop-style) keyboard, nor is it as loud as a mechanical-keyswitch (clicky) keyboard.

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the backlighting color of individual keys. To do so would require well over 100 LEDs, which would be significantly more than we can illuminate with the power budget allotted by USB.
