Ok i got the G15 yesterday and i cant figure out how to r use the LCD for most of the things it can do.That wasnt my main conserve. Then there is a slide button that looks like it has a CRT monitor on the left and a joystick on the right.What is this button used for?Ok and another thing I cant use the mouse in SanAdreaFalls ever since i hooked up the G15.I even hooked the mouse up to the usb port and downloaded logitechs driver for the M510 which didnt help.And another thing since i installed this keo Crysis is running weird.Its locks up when i hit any key for weapons etc but then gos back to normal in a few second.I had nor problems like this with my MX510 and logitech media keyboard.Can somebody tell me why im having these problem

That little button with the monitor & joystick icons is an option where if you set to
joystick, it cancels the "windows" key on your keyboard. Quite annoying if you
accidently press the windows key during a game. My mate has the G15, he says the
LCD is only used for online multi gaming - don't know if that helps??

I wouldn't use the USB on the keyboard. I not really researched it, but i don't think
the USB ports are even USB 2.0? Maybe they are i dunno. But i've never used them.

Those USB ports on the G11 and G15 are USB 1.1. Unless the newer models are 2.0.

I just got a G15 today for my birthday, is it supposed to flip through programs on the LCD screen randomly?

Oh never mind I figured it out, it was an option in the Logitech software that was checked by default.

What programs do you guys recommend downloading for the G15's LCD screen? What are the most useful ones?

Oh I'll have to try that, is it built into fraps like Xfire is? Xfire messages started coming up on the display as soon as I opened Xfire, I was quite surprised. I thought I'd have to download something to make it work on the G15.

Yes, USB ports on the keyboard is version 1.1. As for the LCD, first there is a G15 LCD SDK if you want to experiment. If not, yes, fraps looks cool, but I use Everest to monitor temp, disk/cpu/ram usage, speed, etc. Very handy. And why the mouse doesn't work... hmm... Try installing the drivers again, but prior to that, disconnect the KB. After the driver installation is done, connect back the mouse and only then the keyboard. See if that helps.

The version of the software that came on the disk was 1.02 and Logitech has 2.02 on their website so I'll try the new one and see if it's better. Haven't had any issues with software that came with it yet, but maybe the new one is better anyway.
