Review - Logitech G15 Keyboard

[Eussorus]

do you spend more time on your keyboard than your computer?

[DeutscherRitterorden]

very nice !

[alain001]

you can hook your mouse up on the USB's?!!?

I can't even hook a normal USB.. they aren't powerfull enough

[todiros95]

Is there any way to change buttons light color? Or to turn them off?

[RyanteGamer]

I have seen many reviews (Only text reviews for some reason) that say it is really bad build quality... Is this true, I am thinking of purchasing this but won't it it is bad build quality. The reviews are either really good or really bad...

[rbtb201]

Yeah, the gamepanel software is better than the Logitech Gaming software

[pepsi4815162342]

änd änd änd and and and ähm ähm ähm ahm ahm aaaarrr arrr

Speech rates in all times

[element271]

@jmario101 i used the g19 briefly and it did not do it for me, it has no features that appeal to me over the g15 refresh and is not as comfortable to type on, but this is all opinion

[element271]

man i have had this keyboard since 2008, i am amazed it has not died yet, one of my longest lasting peaces of hardware, and if it broke i would just replace with with the exact same model

[Erwin1471239]

You got the same audio controler as i do :D what set you got?

[VampireofEpicness]

My birthday is very soon, shall i get this or the razer tyrantula?

[MrChill1337]

Hehe, what Nexon game do u play?

Check my channel for one of their games :)

[Mic1337Panther]

Now, the real question, will it blend?

[GaiaBlader]

@Mic1337Panther WOW I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE POST THAT ON EVERY SINGLE VIDEO RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY IN HOPES THAT THEY GET THUMBS UP!

Seriously, thumbs whore...

[Mic1337Panther]

@GaiaBlader Really. I'm not a thumbs up whore. I'm just making a joke here. Dick.....

[playmovie696]

i like this keyboard but i was hopping to have more colors than just orange

[DFnDMonzteR]

Tehehe i'm using a G15 keyboard as i type this:D

[adrianrocky123]

@DFnDMonzteR same bro

[SuperNLNova]

Does it feature Skype?

[rubenhoed]

@SuperNLNova Ja je kan een app er voor downloaden ja.

[SuperNLNova]

@rubenhoed oke gaaf bedankt voor je antwoord :D

[zabbestpriest]

I'm from the UK and our keyboards are really stupid, our left shift keys are shortended greatly. Would you know if this gaming keyboard in a UK localisation has the left shift key shortended? I mean the keyboard looks beautiful.

[samnourbakhsh]

@zabbestpriest this is available in UK you down.

[zabbestpriest]

@samnourbakhsh hopefully you must have misunderstood me, if I bought the UK version layout, would the left shift key be shortened like the rest? if it is where can i get a US localization.

[smp4good]

lmao it took him like a minute to figure out that the All Programs list is in alphabetical order :P

Haha =)

[SickneZZ2]

I have the blue one since like 2008, but i've always wanted this one since it came out. I liked the lcd display built-in.

[5500stef]

Where do i get the flashing light addon?

[sargentcole]

@1:42 that what she said

[kiki0391]

The best keyboard out there i have it for 2 years now and its full of chips and all the shits xD but its still awesome i'd buy a new one without thinking if this one goes to hell

[WhiteOps7]

@ixy1987

No only orange but you don't need more

[ixy1987]

can you change orange key color to blue ????

plz reply

[RMO1999]

@ixy1987 you can go to logitech(dot)com and then get the blue version of it...

[powerrenger21]

i just got mine for 30 pounds and for 5 pounds yyes i said 5 pounds for logitech g500 mouse brand new!

[manjyoumethunder]

This keyboard SUCKS! No NKRO! LAME.

[mechqeust]

how did u get all that stuff in the vd screen

[KallumMcKeeTV1]

how much is it

[vexationpb]

@KallumMcKeeTV1 100$

[shadowlift1]

I might be getting this keyboard, only problems are that my PC and mouse are both blue, and it looks like the enter button Is just like a rectangle - I'm used to the blocky big one, it might get irritating :/

Would you guys suggest I should go ahead and that it's worth it?

[choppchopp007]

is it possible to play cod while its flashing. like when you shoot or get hit it flashes??

[JSprayaEntertainment]

width ?

[Superbiz2]

Wow my mouse if plugged into the same port bundled in the same was as well. Is it a G9/G9X?

[MAJORGAMER123]

I have this keyboard (which glows orange), a green computer (digital storm "Maelstrom") and a blue mouse (razer lachesis).

RANDOMNESS FTW

[SKATEFOLIFE77]

does it show vent?

[cmanclan101]

does anyone know if the LCD supports ventrillo?

[dynnamitee]

how do u put teamspeak in the LCD

[bkim9289]

Logitech X-540 speaker? i got them :)

[Alexownsyou1]

HOW CAN I DO THE LIGHTS FLASHING LIKE THAT IN 4:13-4:21??/PLEASE RESPONE SOMEBODY :)

[zmackey0]

Jesus, turn auto focus off if you're going to be sticking your hand in front of the camera like that. In fullscreen that's seriously irritating.

[KriegerDesHasses]

I just got this keyboard off eBay for $40. Good deal- yes or no and why? peace.

[MrRickMoto]

@KriegerDesHasses good deal... but i dont buy off of ebay i buy of of amazon.

[Menzinpants]

[Menzinpants]

Hey! When i Shall bind for example G3 to ctrl+T it doesnt work... When i have pressed the Mr button it doesnt light or blink. What is Wrong? plz reply!

[totallyrandom02]

I have this keyboard. But when i play counterstrike 1.6 i cant strafe left and move forward at same time. Someone can help me how i can fix that "bug"?

[traxgod2]

[Arnodude53]

[darroni123]

[CycloneTutorials]

[AngusMcFadden]

great review

[stefan98TH]

fatass

[NiNyJe]

Why arent my letters lighting very bright? :O

[omgmynameislong]

@NiNyJe you can change the brightness

[SciFiMoviePro]

I HATE the refresh model

the original one is the best

G15 Original RULZ!

[Decenium]

@SciFiMoviePro

in that case I guess you will like the new one, the G510

[SciFiMoviePro]

@Decenium yes but its too expensive :(

[arsenedevos]

can you change the LED color, i buyed it but i can't find it, i want to turn it blue.

[Kmeistah]

"Kinda gets you in the zone" *LOL* nice one, the "beatsync" flashing lights really would get me in the zone, Nice review thanks !

[Mountaind33w]

can this keyboard show your FPS of your game you are playing?

[Flamesoul53]

can you put of the flashing light when listening to music? but still keep the lights on like it normally has. and could u tell me what u find frustrating about it and do accually the buttons fit nice for gaming?

[gtrmaster2000]

i cant get mine to work, i mean it works like a normal keyboard but thats it.. nothin on the screen, just says G15.. dunno whats wrong with it :'( prolly something stupid ..

[billonis]

what should i get this?or a razer lycosa?i am concerned on the fact that the lycosa has no extra keys except for the standard ones?

[GameplayVideosPS3360]

@billonis THIS NOW ITS ON SALE 65$ AT BESTBUY!!!!!!!!

[patrikk777]

You should have mentioned why it wasn't a full 10 (downsides), and maybe made a summary at the end (pros & cons).

[Durkadurka1995]

Dont get this huge piece of shit. Get a razer lycosa!

[DannyGWarrior]

@Durkadurka1995 The Lycosa is trash, Razer makes terrible keyboards, the only thing good they make is mouses. Razer keyboards are so flimsy and cheap build quality,

[gallya]

@Durkadurka1995 ur fucking nuts. I have that keyboard and my D key is already needed to be pressed harder for it to work. It's so loud too in the night but i like the rubber feeling. There are no macros like the G15 and no LCD to make a few things more convenient, the only thing i like about the lycosa isa that it has a wrist support and rubber keys and the blue lighting and that's about it. Everything else about it sucks, including the touch media keys

[CJOelofse]

Hi There, I also bought the G15 and it looks great. Just one question though, how do I make the lights flash when I play music, as shown in the video clip?

Could someone please email me; oelofsecj@yahoo.com

I would appreciate the help :)

[assassingodx]

what was the songs that u played when u sampled the keyboard?

[LBGreenthumb]

so I finally bought this keyboard, it was $60 at a local store, it is a great gaming keyboard and has alot of cool features, BUT im happy that i didnt buy it when it first came out for $100. also it runs great on win 7 pro 64bit

[Ragnarosofdarkness]

so w8 u can change the color of the keyboard buttons?

[Donseipo]

aswell...does this change colour like blue, green?

[Donseipo]

can this change keyboard coulour?

[TheDonkerzGJ]

ah wtf you play SA-MP? Which server?

[SonicFan2k90]

By changing the m1-m3 keys you change to different G-key settings. So you get 18 G-keys in total. Also thanks for uploading because I've had it since Christmas and had no idea about connecting thing to it

[kolofagos]

guyz,for gaming,which one should i buy? g15 or razer lycosa mirror?

[Forgottnemmy]

@kolofagos G15, Lycoza isnt that good.

[AboutGaming]

@kolofagos g15

[YTMbrianpeppersND]

I could not deal with your taskbar. That is so ugly.

[Rehabveteran]

You have got to stop saying "umm" when speaking, it's one of the most annoying things to listen to, when all I have to hear during your video is your voice.

[AggressiveNapkin16]

I've needed a new keyboard for awhile, i was researching whether to get razor or g15, 1 person said g15 was for true gamer, bam sold haha cant wait to get it.

[93yoyo360]

I Bought my G15 yesterday !

[tibbi222]

[richardlyew]

[Crawlerz246]

tons more bang for your buck then the G19! IDK what they were smoking when they came up with that pricetag! WTF needs a tiny tiny LCD screen if you're sitting in front of your PC?

[BrumStarBoi]

woah, im gonna wanna buy that. hopefully they sell them in the UK lol

[kozes]

you should look at reviews on this board before you get it.

i think this g15 had problems with the buttons wearing out. im not sure if they have new versions of the board that fixed this

[andrewl5201]

i feel so geeky, but that keyboard is FUCKING EPIC

[encorporadow]

I spilled energy drink on mine :( GRR its still working though haha might get a new one cuz the lights are flickering.

[Theicemonkeyjr]

i was going to get the G-11 but i might save up a bit more and get this, looks awsome

[tyrfest]

Just ordered a G19 + G13 combo! Can't wait to try them both as I'm a hardcore RTS gamer. G16 is great too. :)

[impBackstab]

Ready or No ... ahhaha uber mate...just uber

[Ashkan10Messi]

Try this

Go to services, see if "Human Interface Device Access" in enabled or not.

if it is not, enable it. FIXED!

[NintendoBmaN]

I bought the G15 yesterday, and it is sooo sexy. It really does make a huge difference.

[UltimateSinX]

@NintendoBmaN I got my G15 yesterday. It's hard to adjust if your used to a wavy keyboard but it's really awesome. I use it to see who speaking in ventrilo.

[traxgod2]

@NintendoBmaN how do u chance keycollor with

?

the g19 and g110 has it why this one not ?

[CarcinogenicRaccoon]

@NintendoBmaN dude, you wasted your money lol.

[vasyasol]

very good review and sick tune

dnb 4 life

[louislouis33]

Does it have rubber keys?

[tallguy912]

@louislouis33 i dont think do

[DESTROYriaa]

teamspeak display thats sick. can you do some kind of ventrilo display too?

[damagecase13]

@DESTROYriaa Yeah i have the old g15 and it works with ventrilo. All you have to do is turn it on in the ventrilo settings

[Crinale819]

the lcd is easily wear out, i prefer the g11.

[DinnyOHoon]

Right then, let's get this sorted.

This is the G15 v2 edition (6 G keys, orange backlight, screen is built right in instead of being inside a clamshell). It was released in 2007 and replaced the original G15 which had something like 18 G keys and a flip-out screen. I can't remember fully, but I believe the backlight was blue. Apart from that, the 2 keyboards are identical in terms of features. The G11 is basically an original G15 without a screen (the number of G keys may be different as well).

[brutusfilip]

Everything up to

'the 2 keyboards are identical in terms of features.'

is right, i dont know anything from then on.

[CaptianAapje]

No you fucktard it's the new G15 OMFG

[ariansaatchi]

how can i get refresh edition ?

[ariansaatchi]

i have a g15 but i don't have a that much program !

how can i get it ?

[michaely94]

this is the refresh edition ! could it bee that you have the normal version of it ?

[GMODCREATOR]

Can you turn the screen off? And those lights are ill!

[LoLFreaky]

i think g19 is the best, but the price is very high.. also g15 ;)

[2KelemeNt]

what do u think is the best buy.. logitech g15, g19 or razer lycosa?

[iskrukutum21]

g19 dude!

[wushuk1ng]

g11

[masonb26]

Dude to be honest get this keyboard. The g19 is overkill. do you want to watch a video on a screen 1/16 the size of your moniter ? I don't. The G15 is perfect get it !

[buzzmeok]

can you program a key to put the computer into sleep mode?

Like Hp has the moon key when pushed it puts it into sleep mode and just hit any key and it wakes up.

[joelius24]

yes, definitely, by way of a simple macro

[Otmann94]

i really like this and probably going to get it but the only thing i dont like about it is that the only color it has is orange but w/e.

[tandis97]

i just bought g15 ITS AWESOME and i thinks its better than g19 just diffs from lcd screen and light settings and more g buttons but the g15 is cheaper so G15 FTW

[stellwind]

it is possible to change illumination's colour? ...

[TheHowToGuys]

No it is not. But the G19 you can which is the next item on my list to get.

[tigerboyav]

Dude im thinking about getting a g15 v2....are they worth the money? (btw i'd be getting it from walmart...now if it had speakers in it...that would be awesome)

[raider099]

Lol everytime the keys flashed your camera went out of focus. made me dizzy.

[blakehess11]

I was on the fence about buying this, but that visualizer is absolutely awesome and this whole review sold me.

[TheHowToGuys]

Yes its always that cluttered and no i'm not trying to show off. Just like all of my apps on my desktop.

[bladedush]

u cant bust his balls just because he has alot of stuff on his desktop, maybe he is just more comfortable to that.

thanks for the great review man, btw can you hook up other email accounts to the email display?

[TheHowToGuys]

Not quite sure about that.

[PhatRoc]

Good review.... just cut down on the "umm and ahh's"

[Twicer94]

sweet! and u can make Macros for wow there 2!! ^^

[Twicer94]

Ur playing WOW!! cheers!

and gta SA multiplayer!

and u got Steam! maybe CSS??

Keep going! :D

[Gmudi]

What program is that with the shield?

[milerman889]

USB 1.1 is faster then 1.0 :) I never new thay were 1.1's untill i got it!

[thaportal]

euhm euhm euhm

[HellPhoenix380]

I just ordered this off NewEgg two days ago. I had no idea 3rd party programs could use the LCD and mess with the lights. I always thought that the LCD screen was just programmed into the keyboard. This just made me more excited for it.

[FRANKBACCHUS1000]

anyone know if this works on mac lepoard

[RoflMoar]

That's not the 2007 model =P

[Lightscribe721]

uuhhh...yes, it is.

[sujiro]

well, it's USB port is 1.1.

what I want to know is, will that affect the mouse capabilities? what happens with the mouse? I'm getting one that has 3600 DPI, will it work better on a 2.0 port or is it ok to plug it on G15 and it's performance will be the same?

thank you!

[TheHowToGuys]

No, I have a Razer Lachessis and I don't have a difference between the 1.1 on the keyboard and the 2.0 on the motherboard connection.

[ying2765]

emh how to make the screen show things from games ?

[RenegadeX5452]

Grate Review. I did not know if I wanted to get the G11 of G15. But know I am getting the G15. Thanks

[0sebastiank0]

I was standing between this and the Razer Lycosa Mirror. Got the razer because of I didn't like the orange lighting

[poor750]

bad choice. Razer is horrible. You'll regret it.

[0sebastiank0]

Nah man I'm very happy with it :D

[poor750]

For now you're happy with it. But in a few months, you'll regret it. Slow start-up after waking up from sleep mode. Lousy software. Hard-to-press media key.

[0sebastiank0]

We'll se m8

[Antje14]

V 3 software is out you need to update

[TheHowToGuys]

This video was made before v3 came out i've got it now.

[sokker12343]
