Anyone here still using a Logitech G15 ( from 2005 )

[JRMBelgium]

After 13 years, I still don't feel the need of replacing this keyboard.
Not only does everything still work ( display, background lights, usb hub, function keys, etc... ) but after 13 years this keyboard is still supported by Logitech.
Modern software like GPU-Z, CPU-Z, MSI Afterburner still support this display.

I'm just amazed by a peace of hardware that still works ans still gets software updates after 13 years.

This is how I configured mine:

Using a G15v2 I purchased used off of eBay around 2009 iirc. Still works good but has a lot of visible wear and tear. LCD still works perfectly though!

My friend got one of those for gaming in his college years on my recomendation.

Last I saw it, his dad had inherited it, and was trying to figure out the display, looking confused. Still worked though. Good stuff.

Never could afford the g15, always wanted it, but I did have an MX510 (less popular than mx518, just as good), and still use my G5 v1 as my daily driver. Better than any cheap mouse I have to use. Nearly cried when it seemed to stop working one day.

I still have my G15, but it got replaced when I got a G510s. I held out on replacing the G510 for a very very long time because I thought I would miss the LCD. But then I got sent a mechanical keyboard for free and started using it. I realized I wouldn't really miss the screen, and it was really just a novelty, and I absolutely loved the way mechanical keyboards felt while typing. So now both my G15 and G510s sit in the closet on a shelf collection dust.

Was always my dream to have it... Now I can have it, but too late for that. :/

Yours is with 18 macro keys, I've got the one with shy 6, but believe me I loved it very much... countless and various liquid spill accidents during the years destroyed the rubber so bad it has crumbled to dust at some parts. Sadly there was/is lack of decent alternatives and then I wanted mechanic at the first place so to replace the lcd display I bought a cheap android that gave me also some control over things besides the regular feedback, even wireless. But still sometimes I think I should get a rubber dome replacement for the G15 because it's definitely a nice piece of hardware. ^^

I still use my Logitech MX3100 bought 2005 . Bundled laser mouse broke of due to switch wear on MB1 but keyboard is fine and working.

 

[gdallsk]

I believe one of my mates had one back in 2007, probably still does, but he never managed to get the display to work, either it was damaged internally, or didn't have any drivers for it.

 

[JalleR]

yes... or my wife has it now, i got a good deal on a used G19 1 year ago and is using that,
The Backlight in the keys is has died in one side and is really dimm in the other, so im going to take it apart and change the LED but that is all the rest works like it was new

If you want a Grate program for the Display i have been using barloggg's http://www.g15-applets.de/barlogggs-g15g19-applet-ver-60--bga-v-7-t4799-30.html
It can combine alot of data on one screen.

Still got my G15 also, most be going on 7 or 8 years. Still looks and feels the same as the day I unboxed it.

Only odd thing is now using it alongside a G610 Red switch keyboard, key strokes feel quite different.

Technically on my “third” G15, G19 and G19s. I don’t know what I’ll do if I lose those one. Lost the G15 because I tore the LCD ribbon cleaning it. First G19 lost to a spill. MUST have AIDA!

Teamspeak should work with the provided plug-in. Windows media player works by default on Logitech driver.

Have the G19 ... 6 years ... the only thing that I dislike about it is with the LCD i can take it apart and put it in the dishwasher.

And yes, it was a thing

3 more months and we have our 14 year anniversary

 

[freeagent]

I’m still using mine, had it for about 13 years now. I was using my G5 up until last winter. It would double click all the time, very annoying. My brother gave me a zowie mouse that was brand new. It’s starting to double click now too. Sure don’t make em like they used to

 

[dirtyferret]

I still have mine, I purchased it at a going out of business sale at compusa. I used to run the CPU & Memory usage app but after the 8600k build I just use the clock app.

 

[silentbogo]

I kinda still have both G15 (original) and MX5000.
G15 is still chugging away in my brother's PC, while MX5000 is in my stepdad's PC.
G15 was my favorite board, but I no longer have space for a full-sized KB on my desk. Currently stuck with modded Zalman ZM-K500, but as soon as I move to my new apartment I'm taking my G15 back.
MX5000 was really cool, cause it worked even on PS3 running Yellow Dog Linux.

 

[denrick]

I still have my G15. It still works though I don't use it since I have a Corsair now.

 

[JalleR]

Still have min original G15 specially imported from Sweden because Logitech didn't thought that there was enough Danes that wanted one (½ ish a year later they mad one ), my wife inherited it when i got a G19 but sadly there was a spill in it 2 years ago, so it is taken apart and is now in a box waiting for me to put it together again

The only issue my G15 had was the Backlight of the Keys was fading.

Hi there. I just found my dad's old G15. Looking to use it- anyone know where I can get 2 keys? It's working perfectly but missing the shift and cntrl key on the left side. I've been on google- this is the only thread that really popped up.

Thank you

 

[GreiverBlade]

i had a G15 i had a G19 ... sold the G19 got various mechanical keyboard until i did find the "best" for me in the form of a GMMK TKL didn't look back (replaced the G15/19 screen with a Shield Tablet with related softwares for monitoring from MSI and various developer that did an awesome work for that )

nonetheless i still have and keep my original G15

Thank you

aside seeking for a used one and take the missing key from it ... i doubt you will get much success (i let down replacing my space key which has a little deformation due to a burn )

I have G510 and I cannot buy another keyboard without an LCD screen. I was hoping that Logitech would release an update hat is mechanical and LED. That is probably in that same dreamland as affrodable 4TB SSDs.
