kanskje det kommer en mac-driver senere, men dette keyboardet er mer tilrettelagt for PC spillere enn mac brukere

damn, sorry :slap: was chatting on a norwegian blog at the same time :laugh:
here is the translation from norwegican:toast: :

I doubt it:
(taken from logitech's site)
System Requirements
• PC with Pentium® processor or compatible
• Windows® XP (as you can see no mac support)
• 256 MB RAM

Maybe a Mac Driver will come along (or maybe there is an unofficial), but this was made mainly as a pc-gamer-keyboard.
perhaps you have basic keyboard support, but unless you have the driver it'll only be a lighted keyboard (since you can't use macro functions or the lcd-display)

please don't use your dessert coffin jutsu on me:rolleyes: , or I'll have to take off my sunglasses:cool:

Heia Ibsen! (Go Ibsen!)
Ibsen is tha :pimp:

Heh, that's alright. I'm going to buy a Mac Book Pro in a few months, or whenever I have the money, and I want to make sure that I have my gaming hardware so I can pwn n00bs, or veterans and whatnot. This will actually be the first computer that I will actually be able to game on, iv'e gone a long time without L33T hardware and this keyboard would be perfect. I really like this keyboard and I it at least it will work on a basic level and still be backlit, I don't mind if the LCD works or not. I will probably end up gaming a lot on windows anyway (the new macs can run win aswell), but I want to at least play Halo on Mac OS X, possibly other games. I hope that the 18 'G' keys will still work, and the loss of the macro feature on OS X might be bad, I'll see. So I will still be able to use this keyboard as a regular keyboard nonethless right?

I have one of these keyboards, pretty decent, cant complain too much. I've noticed that even though its not as quiet as other keyboards it keeps its tactile feedback much longer. Another thing i've noticed though is the shift key and other frequently used keys like space and enter can begin to squeak or not push down 'right' over time. Other than the general lack of support for the lcd screen and a few little quirks, this keyboard should last quite a while.

Oh, I forgot to mention... overpriced...

and why havnt i seen any mainstream keyboards with some easy/special feature to clean under the buttons!? i'd take something that could do that over a backlit 'gaming' keyboard any day. i guess thats a little off topic though :p

I know I've seen a "how-to" on cleaning one - usual pop off the keys and blow deal.

Overprice...? I find the price is just right.....And the LCD seems to be the next step to new keyboards in the future. Who knows one day the keyboard bundles with a LCD screen whereby you press on the screen itself and not the keyboard :laugh:

"So I will still be able to use this keyboard as a regular keyboard nonethless right?"

maybe, I havent tested it, and this board does not support mac out of the box so I can't be sure, but it May work basically, and some people on the net say it works with mac's (without extra features)

as for lighted keyboards, you can get a lot of cheaper and just as good keyboards, but without the LCD and Macro-keys.

And WEEEEEEE i just bought my keyboard today.... Everything is just so frigging cool....(oh well probaby it would last for 3days max?) Big keyboard with nice rubbery grip surface. It feels the same as my V3x Motorola phone. Its just a coating over and will peel off in the future after using it many times... Cause my motorola phone happened to get peeled :laugh:

I find the rubber all over the keyboard really attracts alot of muck and grime.

Otherwise, I love this keyboard!

Great keyboard, have had one since last December. Easy to clean with CD wipes and canned duster. Not enough Game profiles available as of yet, was led to believe there would be more sooner. The more they sell the more profiles we get, so keep buying-em. Blue lights go great with blue gamers mousepad and blue neon in case, looks cool in the dark. Don't like the way LCD rotates through selected display options though. Must select and disable profiles a start-up every time, what a pain. AMD profile is cool saves screen space, and keeps temp, CPU usage and Ram usage in plain View. Never realy programed any of the 'G' keys for games, takes to long and allready know the default setups.

Well the gaming is very nice. The buttons do not spring back as forceful, but still very fast. I did game with it a bit sofar. And I have really gotten used to the LCD in windows and such, getting ICQ messages or movie info.

cheers
DS

thanz for ya time

2018 and I'm typing this reply on my 2nd Logitech G15, vintage 2006. Still works great and is 100% compatible with my Chromebook. Worth every penny.
