    Ruben Mookerjee Of Logitech Says:

    “PC gamers are continuously tweaking their systems to achieve peak
    performance and enhanced speed for that added edge to defeat an opponent. The Logitech G15 keyboard offers gamers unmatched levels of
    programmability, giving them a tactical edge in their quest to dominate. Also, the built-in LCD display provides game developers with a whole new way to
    display critical game information without distracting from the game itself.”

    Logitech Goes On To Say:

    Logitech´s first-of-its-kind LCD display will be supported by several new
    games later this year, providing game information such as score, times, health
    status, and ammunition levels. Out of the box, the LCD panel can be programmed
    to show information from other applications, such as incoming email alerts, CPU
    speed, or even media player information, without interfering with the game on
    screen. A software development kit (SDK) will be included on the installation
    CD, allowing gamers to write their own programs for customized information to be
    displayed on the LCD screen. When not in use, the LCD panel folds down to
    protect the screen and offers maximum portability — perfect for transporting to
    a gaming session at a friend´s house.

    The LCD and Logitech´s gaming keyboard software also help make it easy for
    gamers to set up custom macro commands, which combine multiple keystrokes into
    one button press without leaving the game. On the left side of the Logitech G15
    keyboard, gamers will find 18 fully programmable keys, called the G keys, and
    three mode keys: M1, M2, and M3. Within each mode, each G key can be programmed
    to represent a different keystroke or macro, meaning a total of 54 different
    commands that can be customized. For example, this means that World of Warcraft®
    players can program the G keys to access their spells more efficiently.
    Different combinations of keys can be programmed for every game and the G15 will
    default to these game-specific settings when the title is launched.

    By installing Logitech´s software drivers, the LCD will also display media
    information such as track names and times while music is playing on a PC. Below
    the LCD, the keyboard features convenient media controls that make it easy to
    control volume during game play or to control playlists and tracks while
    listening to music.

    The Logitech G15 keyboard also features backlit keys — when backlighting is
    turned on, a light from underneath the key illuminates the character on top of
    the key. A button on the keyboard turns on the backlighting with two possible
    brightness levels, providing easy viewing in any lighting condition — including
    late-night gaming marathons.

    The keyboard has two full-speed USB ports built in, making it easy to plug in
    a mouse, a headset or another peripheral, without filling up all the ports on
    the PC. The keyboard also features a gaming mode switch, which, when turned on,
    disables the Windows® key so gamers won´t get dropped out of a game if they
    accidentally press it.

    "Also the Logitech G15 Has:
    Installation CD with GamePanel software
    256 MB RAM ???????????
    User Guide
    20 MB of available hard disk space ????????
    One-year limited warranty
    CD-ROM drive ??????"

    Surely the ? items are system requirements, and not features of the board. Very misleading.

    I'm just wondering, how can I make it show the leaderboard in I.E. NFS Most Wanted?

    How do i make so i can se gamestats during gameplay
