I owned my G19 keyboard for about a month now,But i still hardly use the LCD display for anything apart from showing some on-screen GPU stuff from afterburner

What you G19 owners using your LCD display for ??

I would love to know this also as my kids have them and after the initial wow.....now what!!

IMO the LCD screen on the G19 is just a gimic. The power consumption of it isn't worth having it there if Im honest would much rather not have an ugly LCD screen at the top of my keyboard let alone have to angle my head to watch it.

I use mine mainly to display TeamSpeak 3/Mumble information while in-game, though I occasionally use it to display a clock when I'm in-game too.

I figured out how to do this

Hoping to have mine setup something like this in about an hour

I use msi afterburner and team speak constantly on my setup. Also use lots of hardware monitoring applets. Very very usefull!

Picture of my G19 LCD so far

I need to change the core 2 picture to an i7 picture..

Interested how you did the above as im looking to get a g19!

CaptainRAVE · 28 Apr 2012 at 20:29

The clock

Have used it to monitor CPU temps and gaming stats in the past, but don't bother anymore.

It was very easy to do in the end..
All you will need is the AIDA64 Extreme Edition software and a background picture..

You can the AIDA64 Extreme Edition software from here http://www.aida64.com/products

And this is the back ground picture i used

Which i modded with an i7 picture

Hehe, certainly one of the more expensive ways to keep track of the time whilst gaming

Sometimes after burner, most times nothing.

Very gimmicky and a waste of money imo. I bought into the whole 'games support it!' without doing any real research (nothing does I was hoping for minimaps but instead I get a static picure, oh excellent!)
Although in my defence I needed a keyboard quick as my replacement razer tarantula died and I didn't have a spare.
