Logitech G15 Keyboard

[Khayos]

i have this keyboard but its being mean to me

i went into the profiler...
set the keystrokes for each button

and then the keys don't do anything...
and the MR key is flashing
i think that might be the problem but i don't know what to do???

The MR button flashes when you are recording a quick macro, try these steps.

1 - Make sure the MR button is not flashing by pressing it until it stops, if it doesn't stop after say 5 presses, your KB is broke and you need a new one.

2 - Go into the G15 profiler and set up your World Of Warcraft macro hotkeys like you want them, G15 actually supply you with a handful if you don't know what to fill them up with.

3 - Once you have set these up, go into game, ensuring that "World of Warcraft" pops up on your G15 LCD screen and after you log in to your character, your stats appear on it.

4 - Try pressing one of your macro hotkeys.

5 - If it doesn't work, post here with as much info as you can and I'll see what I can do to help, I know some stuff about the G15 as I tend to learn from my mistakes. :P (I made a truck load when I first got my G15)

Now that I've switched from casually 2 boxing to aggressively 5 boxing I've really become disillusioned with the G15 Gaming Keyboard. My main issue is the 18 macro keys. I've found them difficult to program right, timings are a PAIN, and they add a lot of width to the keyboard that really becomes a strain when you have 2+ mice on the right hand side, and a game pad on the left hand side. Also, when 5 boxing, 18 keys just isn't enough IMHO but I'm still working out my strategy.

A year after purchase though the feel is still good, backlighting still works, and the LCD is the only way I can deal with Ventrilo so...

Pros and Cons...

I have a G15, and just an alt computer I can use for watching movies and stuff, that sits next to me. I'm not like you guys, I don't have 5 accounts, I have one. However, I love the g15. Have you guys gotten any KVM switch to switch both quickly and completely using the G15? I mean where the macros work and so does the backlighting?

I have the IOgear mini usb kvm, and that doesn't work. Once again I know this is lightweight compared to you guys but I am just wondering if anyone has any tips for this.

No there is inherent delay in using KVMs because they are not designed for fast interaction just to reduce clutter on your desk/server/cabinet/etc by reducing the amount of hardware you need to run each pc/server. If you use just a keyboard/mouse (KM) it will be a bit faster and as for the display and lighting look for one that is also a powered USB hub, that will help.

I have a G15 and love it a lot, I dont use too many macro keys due to how I play but Im almost to the point where I need them (n52 is 80% full and numpad only has 3 buttons left to use)

The G15 is 4 usb devices in 1 and is not compatible 100% with a KVM.

Device 1: USB Keyboard
Device 2: USB Hub
Device 3: USB LCD Display
Device 4: USB HID (G-Keys)

Only the USB Keyboard function will operate through a KVM or KM switch and I'd wager the same for a USB Vectra.

I've had my g15 for a while now, and I would not use this keyboard for my multiboxing. In the simple pvp I use it for, the software completely sucks.
It will remap my keys to somewhere else, which is awesome when you hit the key for CoS and it tries to use the mount. :/

Oh and it doesnt have enough power to feed most storage devices through the usb ports on it, which for me sucks because I use flash drives all the time
