Logitech G15 Keyboard

[Djarid]

I'm with Zanthor on this... I is a bit of a waste that my g15 can only replicate the keystrokes already available on my keyboard layout...


hmm maybe changing the keyboard layout to a Scandanavian or french layout will expose some of the keystrokes for capture by the profile app.

They are not standard keystrokes.

If you look in the USB multiplexer thread there is some quick info Inire posted from Vetra.

Basically the G15 is actually 4 USB devices.

1 - standard Keyboard
2 - LCD
3 - G-keys
4 - USB hub

I have a G15 - have had it since it came out, and I absolutely love it.

They are actually coming out with a re-make of the board, which looks like a more realistic version of the current model. I love the fact that, if you look closely, they are actually displaying the WoW features on the built-in LCD. 8)

That "new" G15 is a "G15 Keyboard", not to be confused with the previous "G15 Gaming Keyboard".

the new one also has a better LCD and different color LEDs backlighting the keys. For MultiBoxing I think the G11 or G15 Gaming would be best.

.. thinking about it.. I only actually use 1 gkey on the main box .. the other 2 boxes use N52s that I only use 6 keys on .. hehe .. but that is just me.

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???

I'd say thats some form of error state, I'd contact Logitech if the basics of unplugging, replugging, etc don't work for you. I can't get my MR key to flash at all, it's either on, or off... and if it's on, the LCD indicates what to do next.

at first i thought id pretty much wasted money on this over a standard 101 keyboard. then after a while i started utilizing the keys a little bit more.. asigning difficult keystrokes that i normally wouldnt use to the extra keys (ctrl+alt+a, etc).. which is handy. then i started testing with the macro ability a bit..

in shadowbane i run 10 characters of different classes. bards chant mana regeneration and resist songs and group dispel.. druids earthquake, group heal.. etc.. binding separate keys and functions for every class individually would be horrible. running multiple macros would be horrible. with the G15 i can press a single button and it automates every single keypress. i can simple press it when i want to start casting and then press it again when i want it to stop. its so simple i can run an entire group with almost no effort.

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.
