Logitech G15 Keyboard - Who has this one?

[Sascha Henken]

Hi all,

i just got this keyboard a couple of days ago and this is a great keyboard with its LCD Display and its navigation knobs. Now my question to you all is: Do you also have this keyboard and if yes, do you know good resource websites that host G15 LCD Applets and other neat stuff for it? So far i´ve found one applet that displays realtime Teamspeak Information whi has joined/left, which channel you are in etc.

Let´s discuss it

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I use it too and it is a wonderful thing, i like the old one more, it has more buttons.

Here are 2 links from where i downloaded a few applets.

I want one, but I can only find the new v2 version but I prefer the original, more buttons and it's blue.

[Gareth Hickling]

I dont own one but I know there is software that works with rF to show you real time tyre temps and alike, It also works with arca but beware, Most people think its a cheat as arca only allows you to see temps in pit road.

[Ramon van Rijn]

I have the v1, but I am thinking about getting the v2 because of its smaller size.
I have never used the Macro (G) keys, so no need for so much here

[Ramon van Rijn]

Bought v2 last weekend and returned it right away because it was this bloody Dutch layout again although it was mentioning the US-Int on the box art. Damn Logitech.

Ordered the US-Int directly from the Logi site, because the normal shops are apparently not able to get a non-Dutch layout here.
Scheduled for arrival in a few hours.

See the differences; Dutch logitech layout:

US-Int Layout:


Both are qwerty keyboards; The Dutch has a second \-key besides the left shift, which is cut in half.
The main Enter key is also not like the normal one, but double height and a bit smaller. Therefor the normal \-key is placed left to it.

For the average Dutchman no problems, but if you are used to type with 10 fingers (blind) its just insane.

PS. this is just a sample image, not a G15 image

lol i type 10 fingers blind, with a dutch layout.

You're a bit younger; I type this way already since 20 years or so. Always on us-int.. Then its hard to learn something else for an old twat.

[Christopher Aponte]

i have to agree with you there Ramon......I am also always on US-int layout for 20 years now (yeah i learned pc already back then ....hey even switched off a server on my moms work when i was aroun 3/4 )

but when i tested the dutch layout it feels wrong......i have that with my laptop now....always making errors
so US-int for me

[Ramon van Rijn]

Logitech sucks!!!!!

I ordered on the Logitech NL website (the only one that ships to NL). I could choose which layout I wanted. (Belgium/Germany/Dutch/UK/US-Int)
Choosed US-Int. Just opened the box today, and the damn Dutch layout was in the box.

Calling with Logitech is of no use. The magic answer:
Logitech puts randomly a layout for that country in the box. For NL it could be Dutch or US-Int layout. You cannot see it on the outside of the box.
I can fully refund this one and the advice is to open each box in the normal shops and hopefully find a real US-Int layout.

Of course no shop will open it for you. You have to break the Logitech seal for it.

Help needed:
Is there someone in the US/Canada/Other who can send me a real Logitech G15 version 2 (The amber lightning) with a real US-Int layout?
This one:



I can pay with paypal or normal international payment if supported by my bank.

My 'old' G15 was ordered via Amazon.com @Tigerdirect.com. But they don't send it to Europe anymore. Try it
You can still order via other companies, but so far only around 80+ dollar shipping costs, excluding Customstax (in case its checked). A bit too much for a keyboard that's 69 eur in the normal shops.


The message on Amazon.com:

[Simon Trendell]

I just went to get a wireless mouse for my laptop and I was *this* close to buying the G15 while I was there, but concluded I wanted and didn't need :circuitzolder:

Damn you all for making me want one soo much

[Ramon van Rijn]

A Canadian friend of my it getting it for me today :rockband:
