Logitech G15 Keyboard

[Vertigo]

I haven't had a chance to play with one yet, but I've been seriously considering buying one for my new setup. Only issue I have with it honestly is it's blue lighting since everything else on my rig is red. I was just wondering if there's an on/off switch for the leds on the thing. I might try switching the blue leds to red later, but right now I'm not so sure about my soldering skills.

Get a Saitek Eclipse instead. Looks much better and lights up in red, blue or purple.

Or the Mk1, which is only one colour, but available in red or blue.

I have a Saitek Eclipse actually ... it died about 2 months after I bought it so no go there. Not buying another one. Also, I'm buying the G15 for it's additional features (the programmable macro keys, etc)

yes there is a key/button to shut the lights off. it will go low-high-off. the only this is it also shuts off the lcd light too.

[Vertigo]

You can still read the LCD with lights on in the room though right? Or does it shut the LCD down completely?

[Spawn-Inc]

ya if you have light of the lcd you can still read it. i like everything about it accept the G keys are a little to close to the rest of the keyboard for my liking, but thats just the way i place my hand on it.

Thanks Spawn, yeah I was looking at a tarantula but I don't like the fact the keys are on either side. I play with an Ideazon FANG to the left of my keyboard, and a G5 mouse to the right. I don't like taking my hand off of my mouse unless I REALLY have to.

i got my g15 for about hm... *hits some letters on the g15* lets say 5 months i love it but i dont use the standart progs because there are sooo many cool applets out there (uses sir reals multi panel and rays winamp plugin <3)

[Spawn-Inc]

ya i use lcdstudio, and made a really neat program, but it requires that like 4 programs run to get all the info so i don't have enough ram to run it all plus a game. but now that i'm getting 4gbs should be great!

here is picture of the program i had, i've since added some stuff so its a bit different.

Sick, well I think someone at best buy screwed up. Because I haven't found the version 2 of the keyboard anywhere online ... but they had it on their shelves (on sale) I think someone put the wrong keyboards out for sale. So grats me on getting a version 2 for a version 1 sale price. Also picked up a v2 G5 mouse.
