Title: Logitech G510 Gaming Keyboard
Post by: vafiii on October 03, 2010, 05:00:27 PM

Anyone know if AH supports gamepanel technology? Looking at purchasing the Logitech G510, a keyboard with extra gaming buttons, but not sure if compatible. Also would appreciate any pros/cons from users of this product. Thanks.

If its like the G15 or the G19, AH does not support the LCD display but you can program the macros without any problems.  All the macro keys on my G11 have been programmed with whatever couldn't fit on my controllers.

If you want a LOT of programmable keys, I don't think you can beat this setup:

(Especially, click on the last image showing the "Special, programmable Keyboard".)

Ack-Ack, by the macros you mean the additional gaming buttons, correct? That's what I'm really interested in. I need a keyboard with the additional programable gaming buttons as the G510 has. The G510 is backlit with multiple color options for the keys.

bbosen, that's a nice setup but I don't have room for a regular keyboard and a gaming keyboard which is why the Logitech G510 is perfect for me as it is a regular keyboard with additional gaming keys and functions. Thanks anyway.

Yep, the G15 I have comes with 18 programmable macro keys.

I'm not concerned about the display. I need the game buttons. Sounds like the way to go. Thanks Ack.

Look for the original G15 keyboard with the macro key layout I showed in the screenshot and the flip down LCD screen.
