Logitech G15 anyone got one ?

been looking for a good keyboard for my setup im not much of a garmer infact i hardly ever play games on my pc (use the 360 myself ) so im wondering
if a Logitech g15 would be overkill for me

love the fact the keys lightup ( not only to they light up they seem to do it very well) but i doubt i would use the m keys unless you can program them to open programs and copy and paste and stuff like that

it looks like great geeky blingage even if you don't play many games on the pc lol
but im still not sure


anyone got one

Re: Logitech G15 anyone got one ?

I have the original G15 gaming keyboard. Mine has the 18 programmable G-keys with 3 modes for a total of 54. The new revised G15 gaming keyboard is smaller with 6 G-keys and 3 modes for a total of 18 programmable G-keys. Also a slightly smaller lcd screen.

I think a non-gamer could get a lot of use out of it. Any windows commands you can do with a keyboard you can program to do with a G-key. Some non-gaming commands I have programmed to G-keys are the Windows key + e, Windows key + r, Windows key + pause, six frequently visited web sites. For Internet; Ctrl + n, Ctrl + f.

Here is a link with more detail:

I have the G11 on one and the G15 on the other. Very useful ^_^ The older G15 is better though, because it has more macro keys.

I read somewhere (might have been on the logitec forums if they have one) that something in the older G 15 keyboards was wearing out and folks couldn't get the part to replace it, so I would be wary of buying a used one. I wish I could have found one as well. Back to the issue at hand though:

You should like your new G 15. Being left handed some of the gaming features IE: G keys aren't much help, but the LED display is cool. You can program it to tell you just about anything. Also you asked about the G keys? You can program them for a variety of tasks as well, that have nothing to do with gaming. I've been concentrating on getting my computer stable and learning this Vista so I haven't spent much time fooling with programming my keyboard. One cool thing is the built in hot buttons for all your media as well as the 2 USB ports. You can pause playback, mute sound, control sound, FF or rewbnd, check mail, and other things from the LED display without getting out of the program you are working on. Now if i can just figure out how to program it to go get me another beer, I think I'll be set.
