Logitech Gaming Keyboard

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

I want them to work with:
mp3 player - using supplied transmittery thing
pda - bluetooth built in
laptop - bluetooth built in
desktop - bluetooth dongle thing

i'm hoping for 4/4 but i fear the logitech man on the phone was as dumb as he sounded, and didnt know what i meant

Looks good, especially the wireless headphone jack bit, although I have the new ipod and they moved the socket to one side, so the adapter would be wonky :roll:

Gaaaah, my eyes!

Also, why would you want to look down at a little LCD display to see your ammo?

I think I'm the only person that actually likes it.

I wouldn't buy it though, because the keyboard is too wide, and I would end up with the mouse mat falling off the edge of the slidey out thingy on my computer desk.

Not bad for £40, but how many games support the LCD panel?

My friend has one of those Z-board things, and I have to say I was quite impressed with how it works. I thought it was just laid out in a wonky way, but it wasn't until he showed me that I realized you can change the key sets.

Chilling. Perhaps Daphne and Celeste will make a comeback. Scary.

Didn't know there was an X-Fire plugin, what does it show?

I have delusions of making my own plugins... for something.. and erm you know, stuff.

I've just noticed the handles across the top, you could wield it like a Klingon Bat'leth!

Qapla!


I like the idea of the TS plugin but the rest of it still puts me off.

I'd get one if I wanted to blow money away on a gadget, but this would probably come at the bottom of my gadget list narf.

In other words, it looks good, but not worth the money

Lies WEY....LIES. It's a great keyboard although it does make the Tiatanic look a tad small. The windows key off switch is a neat touch, the 18G keys are pretty useful when i remember that they are there. The one major dissapointment is that the two usb slots are the old slow type :( , however the pickup for my mouse still works through them.

In reply to Bobbinses, its an automatic thing Xfire and the keboard just work together. What the lcd show is basically what people type, so rather than popup it appears on the little screen. Media player and VLC both work with the audio controls (only audio programs i have installed). There is a teamspack plugin that I use that allows me to see who is talking, what channel im in, whos has entered/left the chat.

Pretty darn useful set of keys and a lot better than the Z-board i had before.
