Logitech G15 - Yes or no?

I have a G11 and I love it.

Logitech in general makes good keyboards, so if you can get a G15 for $40 I'd jump on it.

How do you do that?

Can you give me a macro example or two so I can try it on my keyboard too?

thanks

Actually, for that, you just run the macro software for the board, and you can assign the keys premade functions, like opening up your default browser, media player, email, ect. But if you want to assign a macro you create, just click the create a macro button, type your string, then assign it.

Yes, I would like to do that. What do you mean " run macro software from the board " or "assign keys premade function?"

i.e. My old keyboard had a button to launch the calculator that I found useful. Where would I look to find that premade function and assign it to a Macro key.

Oh, the software that comes with the G15, it's one of the perks of having one. :D
 
I have the original G15 and I like it. I don't use the macros, but I do use the LCD for the RSS feeds, email, and clock. And of course the blue illuminated keys :)
 
I've got it and it's honestly pretty over rated. Pretty much all I do is play games and I can't say that I've ever used the macro keys. The screen is fairly useful but it's only supported in a handful of games and it otherwise useless. I've also noticed a lot of the basic g15 programs I used the most (clock, media display, ect) don't seem to work in Windows 7.

If you can get one cheap, definitely buy it, but it's not really worth the retail price imo.

edit: Maybe it's just me but mine tends to slide around far too much, which is kind of a pain in the ass when gaming. Tab almost managed to snap off the little flip tabs that tilt the keyboard within the first week or so I had mine.

I have the original G15 aswell (the blue one)
Best keyboard I've had so far. have the clock on the LCD screen pretty much all the time, the backlight of the keys is excellent, en the keys jsut feel good. (not too heavy to press, but you feel you're pressing a button.)
I dont use the macro button much myself either. I've used it to put key's like Del and pgdn etc to the left side of the keyboard, so I've got some extra buttons, but other than that I dont use them.

ps: the media function of the old G15 is really nice aswell. (the round volume button.)

Really? I haven't had any issues here, do you have the officially supported Windows 7 drivers from Logitech?
 
When I bought my G11 I thought it would be used more then it is. A lot of games actually block the Macros as I can make a very simple farm bot with it :P

I will say it is useful but I G15 is ovepriced as you will hardly ever use that LCD screen and that is the only difference between the two models. So in the end I use it more for stupid things like opening my content lists/firefox..things like that. Also my damn play button broke a few weeks back...cheap piece of plastic. Board lacks quality on its media keys.

You might go to the site and update your drivers. I'm running Windows 7 and just hooked up G15 over the weekend. The clock, media display, etc work fine in Win 7. I didn't use the disk that came with the keyboard - just went right to the Logitech website - chose Keyboard, O/S and downloaded the Win 7 64bit link.

I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for the keyboard either - but quite happy for the 40 bucks I did pay.

I do miss my Calculateor button though.
 
I have the G15 as well and love it, although it's not the nicest looking keyboard, or the smallest, but for what it is it's great!
