I think this keyboard has been on the market for less then a year..pretty good keyboard i must say, its been droping in price and  picking up in popularity.

One of the more interesting things about this keyboard is that it has an LCD panel, which can be programed to display pretty much any kind of info, anything from system information,media player to game specific info like stats or ammo/weapon count/messages,etc.

Logitech has released LCD SDK,which can be found here:

There are bunch of applications already available and more are in the works, including some display for IL2/pacific fighters.

I WISH, this LCD was supported by Aces High, it could be used to display MG/ammo count or damage, fuel, text  or flying computer info (E6B thing?). even maybe some minor gauges that are not visible in default front view since LCD can display graphics too..


Posibilities are limitless, here are couple of examples of LCD applets running.

Im sure as time goes by more and more people will get it.
Prices have been droping recently and now it goes for around $60-70 in store and even for less on ebay.

Also World of Warcraft and City of Heroes/Villans..

It seems like people who buy this keyboard are eager to check out the games that are supported by it. But so far there are no free/easly downloadable games that support this keyboard, i think AH might have an edge here. :)

F-16 DED display (G15 screen is about the same shape)
