The trackpad itself does its job without getting in the way with unwanted palm inputs, although I felt (as usual) that clicking the trackpad takes a little more pressure than I’d like. The G3 15’s trackpad sits directly below the space bar, which puts is a little left of center thanks to the dedicated numeric keypad. The outlined WASD keys are the only outward sign that the Dell G3 15 is a gaming laptop. Don’t expect anything in the way of bonus macro keys, but a standard set of function-enabled hotkeys, including screen lock, volume and media playback controls, search and display options, are present and accounted for. A hotkey lets you toggle between two steps of blue backlighting, while a 10-key numeric keypad sits on the right. The Dell G3 15’s chiclet-style keyboard is fairly standard as laptops go, with smooth, flat keycaps, decent travel and a snappy tactile bump on each keystroke. A 250-nit display might be perfectly fine for, say, a mainstream budget laptop, but we expect more from a gaming rig. That’s barely hitting our 250-nit standard for comfortable indoor viewing. The bad news: It’s not as bright as we’d like, registering only 246 nits (or candelas) at dead center according to our measurements. That’s the good news about the G3 15’s display. The Dell G3 15’s IPS display boasts decent viewing angles, but we wish it were a little brighter.
