Logitech G15 Keyboard not detecting WoW or other games




By voodoo2322 on Jun 16, 2009

" "
I recently purchased a Logitech G15 keyboard, mainly for use with World of Warcraft. I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my PC (32 Bit) and have downloaded the latest software for the keyboard from Logitech (v3.02.173). When I run the Keyprofiler and "detect compatible games" it tells me that two games are detected (WoW and The Witcher). I am then able to configure the "G" keys for WoW and the profile is created. Then when I run the other included program from Logitech to edit LCD displays etc, it is not detecting that WoW is available and only shows a list of the Logitech LCD display options like digital clock, system usage etc. At some stage during the above process the LCD display does say that it is entering WoW mode but then reverts back to the system default displays.

When I run WoW I am not able to see the information for WoW on the LCD and can only view the digital clock etc. I don't know whether it would effect the running of this program but I have all my games installed in another directory other than "program files" which means that my WoW executable is targetted to "c:/games/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe"

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Scott

Basically,
  1. You need the latest WOW patch to get G15 LCD support.
  2. The applet for WOW launches at the Login screen for WOW. Until then it will not show up at all in the LCD control panel for the G15
  3. The search you did for WOW is only for the profile which does not do anything with the LCD. It only handles programming the G-Keys. When the applet launches it should display "World of Warcraft" in the LCD. Nothing about the profile launching. That's a different thing.
  4. Even though the applet for WOW is running, it may be disabled in the G15 software. To check this launch WOW and go to the login screen. Then go to the G15 LCD Control panel and make sure the box next to the WOW applet is checked.
Basically, for other software/games which don't have built-in support for the G-15, you'll need to download a custom LCD applet in order to display specific software/game info on your LCD when you launch that software/game. You can find good applet at g15forums.com.


Hope this helps
