I got my mitts on the Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. It’s working great but of course I have some suggestions for them…
- Get rid of the macro keys on the left.
I’ve been working on this new keyboard for more than a week now and I still… STILL… keep hitting the bottom left macro key instead of the Ctrl key when copy/pasting or opening a tabbed window. It’s very annoying to try and open a new tabbed window and instead you wind up losing the page you’re on and opening a new page in your existing window of the browser. - Add a calculator button.
This should be a STANDARD feature. ALL keyboards should come with the calculator button. You make a keyboard with all these extra button and not one of them is the calculator. Sure, go ahead and make that key reprogrammable for a macro, but hunting through the Start menu every time I need to do a little math is really annoying. - Make the USB outbound ports 2.0 compliant.
Perhaps I am asking more than can be done, but is it too difficult to make a USB hub that has USB 2.0 compliant ports? I love the fact that this keyboard has ports, but they become quite less usable if their response time is cut by a slower connection. - Make sense in your install guide.
“There is a switch on my keyboard with a picture of a joystick on it. What is that? Let’s check the book. Oh… it’s number 8. But wait there is no numbered definition list anywhere.” Why is there a numbered list of options in the manual and no legend to explain it? (btw: I’m still trying to figure out what this switch does)
On a related topic…
Does anyone have any recommendations for a collapsible bluetooth keyboard? I have recently found myself traveling with my Mac Mini between home and work. They keyboard is the only problem as it’s… well, it’s not small enough to fit in a bag that holds the Mac Mini.
I also thought it might be cool to get a keyboard that is compatible with the iTouch. Ok, so I don’t know if the current generation iTouch has bluetooth capabilities, but expect the new one (coming in June) will have it. As a forethought, I might want to be able to use this new keyboard with my iTouch for some quick text input.
