E2 - G15 interface

[Hunter234564]

Tons of people started asking me about a re-upload, sorry but I could not find back all files needed for this to work.
I don't even think its worth trying to find them back. This extension had a horrible syntax and could only be used in singeplayer because I didn't know anything about sending data to clients.
If I feel like coding this again I'll probably recode this with a way better syntax and make it work in multiplayer as well.

it would involve installing binaries on the client.
that's not possible, for a damn good reason

[Hunter234564]

I know, I haven't set my hopes on multiplayer.

Awesome. I would like to try this out with my new G15.
Too bad it won't work in multiplayer. :(

May I ask what a G15 is?

[SatansSimon]

It's a keyboard by Logitech with "makro-keys" (at least they are called this way in germany :P) and a mini display to show... things. I don't own one so I can't tell you more about it.

Hmm this might inspire me to install the software again, mainly I just use the media buttons. Very nice though.

That's the G15, rather the new G15, the old one is now the G11, which has no LCD screen anymore, but the original 18 programmable "macro" buttons. His picture shows the retro G15 characterized by the flip-up LCD screen.

A gaming keyboard with an awesome LCD display, 18 "Gkeys" to trigger macros and record macros ingame, and a button to disable the damn windows key.

There are a alot of G15 LCD applets to download, like one that shows the weather, MSN chats, Winamp/WMP info, net traffic,(E2 ), also some games and software support it natively (if not, you can get seperate applets, I got 2 for TF2 ATM), like Xfire and Multiwinia. Also Source has a broken G15 support if you launch with the -g15 parameter.

If you do got the money for it, and spend the entire day behind your computer, its surely worth it.

Also note there are 2 versions, a blue (1st gen) and orange (2nd gen) version. Pretty much everybody prefers the blue one because of the cooler look, 18 instead of 6 Gkeys and the bigger LCD display.

[...] and a button to disable the damn windows key.

i never had a problem with the windows key

btw to get mulitiplayer support for the g15, probably the best way would be to bug garry about it.

A bit off subject but I have a quick question about the G-15. I taught myself how to type using the dvorak keyboard layout instead of qwerty. Are the keys on the G-15 interchangeable? If so, does it feel/look like a normal keyboard when changed? I understand if you don't want to take apart your keyboard to test this for me, but it would be appreciated ^_^. I could always call logitech and ask them but I might have go through a few techs to get a straight answer. On most keyboards, the home keys can't be interchanged but I've been putting up with that ever since I learned to type.
