the only keyboard i'd consider paying more than 8 quid for is some rare modern art jobby called "optimus maximus" i think..

I'm in work so i can't copy a link, but if u google "optimus maximus keyboard" you should get it.

Rare as fook, and absolutely awesome...and until i've got 2 grand to spend on one i'll just keep buying shitty 8 quid efforts cos if you can crouch, walk forward and press use, then that's good enough for me :P

Yeah, I know about the keyboard - its development was covered by the computer press quite avidly. It's this keyboard that has an OLED display built into each key... 0_o

I wonder if it would pass the "quick brown fox" test. ^^

i finally got my G15. Awesome.

One question though: how do you get the LCD to only display one mode?

Logitech gamepannel manager in your systray and that's with me assuming you have installed the software you need for it.
You can do it also on your keyboard itself, just mess around with it a bit m8. Turn of rotate, i always have rotate with klever-VU on and turned most of those annoying scripts off that the G15 comes with :D I have the analogue time clock, winamp ray's g15 plugin, cpu and mem usage and the pop mail notifyer, that's all.

I have to say I think my G15 is a complete waste of money and my old keyboard a freebie Dell one did just as good a job. If anything I think the keys on the G15 are a bit smaller and closer together, which isn't quite so good.

There is bugger all decent apps for it that actaully add any real value. The clock is about as good as it gets. None of the games I play are supported TF2/L4D.

I also keep pressing the lower right mulit function key by mistake, thinking its the Ctrl key.

Thats my view of having owned one for about 6 months.

The only thing that has made me concider buying one of them gaming keyboards, is that I'm having a hard time dodging and double jumping in Unreal.
But I'm not sure if it's just the game itself, or my keyboardz.
