Logitech G15 Key Binds not Working for me

Tyric · Post by **Tyric** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 7:32 am

Has anyone who has a G15 Keyboard noticed if they can bind any of the following keys and get a response?

G3
G17
M2
M3
Play/Pause

I wrote a test app to test these binds and those are the only keys that don't seem to respond. Can anyone else verify that these are working correctly? Or is this a bug?

Thanks!

they work for me. do you have a G15 profile loaded? try closing the profiler

I did have the profiler running. I tried closing the profiler and I had the same problem. I'm going to try and reboot without having it startup automatically. I'll post again after I try that.

It's possible that they changed the data format at some point, so our G15s might be different versions of the same thing. I assume you're not using the G11, which is the G15 minus LCD?

Ok, I have tried rebooting and it seems to be starting something up or something is programmed in, where even though I don't have my profiler running, I'm still having the same problem. When I hit the G Keys while in the console, the key I programmed are still popping up in the console.

I am making sure that LGDCore.exe is not running... closing it down completely. LCDClock.exe and LCDMon.exe are running, but those are LCD apps and shouldn't be interfering.

The thing that confuses me is that the rest of the keys except those work fine with my profiler running. My profile isn't setup with macro's... just duplicating a specified keypress. There is one noticable coincidence with all the keys that don't work.. They all return an extra character with the same wierd behavior.

here are my mappings:

G1: 1
G2: 2
G3: 3
G4: 4
G5: 5
G6: 6
G7: Q
G8: W
G9: E
G10: A
G11: S
G12: D
G13: Z
G14: X
G15: C
G16: V
G17: B
G18: N

if I press them in the console I would expect the following text:
123456qweasdzxcvbn

This is what I actually get cut and pasted after doing that and hitting enter:
wn command '123456qweasdzxcvb'

It's really wierd. The play/pause button gives the same wierd
Unknown command '' character.

Is this a bug with the profiler and those keys maybe?

I am using the G15 with the LCD

Oh and the M2 and M3 keys produce:

Unknown command ''
Unknown command ''

wierd... the forums are filtering out the wacky characters...

Lemme try this:

Code: Select all

g3&#58; Unknown command '
3'
g17&#58; Unknown command 'b'
M2&#58; Unknown command ''
M3&#58; Unknown command '	'
Play/Pause&#58; Unknown command ''

Ok if I view in hex mode in ultraedit, I can see what the hex values of those wierd characters are...

G3: 0x0D
G17: 0x1B
M2: 0x08
M3: 0x09
Play/Pause: 0x03

Not sure if this helps or not, but at least I can give you as much info as I can.

I have the same problem with my G15. Was there ever a solution to this?

Here are the identifiers printed on the sticker on the bottom of the keyboard. This may help identify the revision.

P/N: 867619-0403
PID: BT609DG

My G15 is about a year old. I am not running the key profiler software.

Just to follow up on my own resurrection of this topic, I have a workaround for this problem. I'm posting with the hopes that it helps someone else.

I was not running the profiler, which seems to work for me on and off. Whenever it's not working, simply running the profiler then exiting it solves the problem for me. Before exiting the profiler, I usually have it set to a profile where all the keys are undefined, but I'm not sure if this has any real effect on solving the problem or not.
