Logitech G15 Rev.2

carrot1401 · 21 Jan 2008 at 11:14

Anyone got one?? Am considering getting rid of my zboard for one of these, just really want to know what they're like for general typing as well as games. Most reviews kindly point out all the differences between the first one and this one, but I couldn't care less that its now orange lol. Goes with the hair colour :cool:

What are those g keys like? Actually helpful on any games?
Do the media keys work with itunes, or failing that; can they be mapped with ituneskeys? (what I did with the zboard)
Any usb ports on the keyboard?? Usb 1.0 or 2.0?
Whats the display like for modding? Does a new keyboard means new mods, or do previous ones work with it??
I assume you can turn the lights off if it gets annoying too :rolleyes:

....

Hehehehe I like questions

ive just send a rev2 back and sourced a rev1, orange jus doesnt go. The apps for the lcd are sposed to work with both rev 1+2 and the usb ports are usb 1.

Lovely keyboard all in all

But are nt USB ports on the Rev 1, USB1.

As every time I plug something in it say "this can bla bla bla if you use a USB 2 port"

Or something like that.

the apps do indeed work for both the rev 1 and 2, the usb ports are 1.1 and unpowered so no external mobile hdds. The rev 2 is smaller, has less g keys, has an orange backlight and is more comefortable.

I bought one last week but I keep hitting the bottom g key when reaching for ctrl and the media keys seem to work differently to how my old logi internet navigator did. I.e. when media player classic is in the background the media keys wont control it. So I'm thinking of taking it back.

Actualy if you're looking at a Tarantula the MS/Razer Reclusa makes a decent gaming keyboard and is £10 cheaper.

Don’t have one myself but I actually think the Orange looks quite nice, everything has blue LED’s these days, nice to see something a bit different. Having said that blue is going to match other kit for most people, if only they’d made it changeable.

think im going for a tarantula because of the macro keys, and then getting the battle light aswell to illuminate it

Am I right in remembering something about being able to turn the windows key off so you dont go to desktop if you accidently press it during games?? And what about itunes??
