The Logitech G15

Neubauten's picture

So this year my mom decided to give me the gift that says "your happiness is important to me": Cold, hard cash.

Mrs. Neubauten told me that I should not just put the money in the bank and use it to pay bills, but instead celebrate the season of reckless acquisition by gifting myself. She's so wise. So, being the ever obedient husband, I took her sage advice and bought a Logitech G15 keyboard.

Here's an article about it

It is awesome. There are 18 programmable "G keys" on the left hand side for keymapping your favorite macros, and the LCD works with the Ventrilo beta to show you who is talking while you're playing WoW. There's even a built in countdown timer (so I can keep track of how much time is left in a 45-minute baron run).

I've only had one opportunity to use it so far, but I'm already sold. My apologies to Greysea for any doubts I may have expressed about the utility of this thing. If you have the means, do yourself a favor and get one.

I can't do it!!!!

I would probably agree with you, that is if I ever found myself with one in my possession, but there are 2 things that keep me from changing to something so drastic:

1. I'm in love with the split/ergonomic keyboard design. And I especially love that my Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 has comfortable padded leather hand rest as part of the keyboard design. It makes a full day of coding that much more of a pleasurable experience.

2. Because I am a touch typist, and I type a lot (programming requires that sort of thing), I need to have a standard keyboard layout between my work and home computer. Any changes really bug me, and slow me down. That's one of the reasons why I haven't bought and logitech keyboards in some time, the utility buttons above the inverted T arrow keys are laid out different then the traditional windows keyboard layout. If i bought one, I would have to buy another to take to work with me. Fortunately for me, my work keyboard is exactly the same one I have at home.


Neubauten's picture

I understand your resistance

I too am a fan of the "natural" keyboards. I learned to touch-type exclusively on one and I have (until recently) used them both at home and at work. Greysea and I both work in software support, which is easily as typing-intensive as coding. It is because of my loyalty to the ergo-boards that I was reluctant to get the G15 at first.

I'm still glad I have one, though, even though I would have picked up the "natural" version if it was available. The LCD alone is worth the $$.

Yes, the LCD definitely does

Yes, the LCD definitely does have it's nice advantages. And the longer the keyboard is out, more and more apps are taking advantage of it. But I don't know. I've been thinking about getting just a USB LCD for a while now. That should keep me from having to make the move. Though my Natural has many nice features, the G15 does have many more extra buttons and media access keys then mine does.

They should look into the market for gaming ergonomic keyboards, then I wouldn't have to think twice about it!

can you link one of those

can you link one of those LCD USB devices? i'd like to see them...

LCD USB or Otherwise...

There are a lot of places you can find these things. Usually though, they are meant to be placed in your computer, in the same place as the optical drives, but that doesn't mean you can't have it outside. Here is a good place you can look at some FrozenCPU.


PallasAthena's picture

dude, i was reading those

dude, i was reading those LCD displays and it says its for fn control and other vital statistics on my PC like drive space. Is there one that functions just like the G15's?

*thinks* i might just break down and go get it...
