G-Series Gaming Keyboards

[CharlesB]

Please post all topics regarding the GamePanel Software for Mac [beta] in this thread please!

I guess the first note will be from me

The Uninstaller.app pulls all of the application portions, but will leave behind .plist (preference) files and your .lgp (g-key profiles) files. To remove these:

in ~user/Library/Preferences/

com.Logitech.G-seriesKeyProfiler.plist

com.Logitech.LCDClock.plist

com.Logitech.LCDCountdown.plist

LGLCDDB.plist

And to remove the .lgp files, they are located in:

~user/Library/Application Support/Logitech/G-Series Software/Keyboard/Profiler/

Does this software allow the use of the G15 Keyboard on Macs?

[WilliamHipple]

Yes the G15 keyboard works, but the LCD has limited functionality and the World of Warcraft uses the extra 18 buttons just fine.

However, the Beta software expired on me last night at midnight....... 

[WilliamHipple]

Also, the software is only listed under the G13 keyboard, if you go to G15 and hit download, it only lists winblows.

[StargazerSteven]

Could you expand on your statement that the LCD is limited? I primarily want to use this in WoW so what functions can it be used for?

Thanks =D

[WilliamHipple]

WoW = Nothing

limited means it will say G15, give you CPU/RAM usage, clock or a timer

WoW SDK is in the works, after that, Blizz will have to code it. 

[WilliamHipple]

OK, the LCD monitor expired 12 hours after installing the software...no biggie, I have plenty of other clocks.

Well, this morning, the G series key profiler expired, so now I have zero WoW function and due to the loss of keys vs my apple keyboard, I can no longer use the macros

Until Blizzard updates WoW to support the LCD on the Mac client, it will not display your characters' stats in the game.  This is something that should happen at some point in the future, but it is not possible for me to say when or even that it definitively will happen, as it is Blizzard's decision as to whether they will support the LCD.  Other applications, such as Ventrilo, are in a similar situation.  Once the Mac LCD SDK is available and distributed to developers, we should get a clearer indication of their intentions.

I am not sure why the software is "expiring" and will discuss with the engineering team as to why this may be happening. 

[CharlesB]

There's a blip with the current functionality of the LCD manager that is causing it to say that the software has expired (Holdover from the internal software betas). The programmers are aware of this and are working on it right now.

There's a new build, 235, available for download which still has the LCD Manager expiration, but the G-Key software proper should work fine. We hope to have a new build very soon that should remove the expiration (I'll post in here as soon as I get the info)
