Logitech G15 Keyboard Adds Sideshow

Logitech has released drivers for its G15 computer gaming keyboard that turns its LCD screen into a Windows SideShow-capable device. That means that if you have Windows Vista, you can set the keyboard to show certain information through Sideshow Gadgets, presumably incoming emails, media player control, and things like that. This is very useful for gamers, who won’t want to exit their game to check if new email has come in, and can instead rely on the keyboard screen for updates.

Newer G15 keyboards can get the drivers here. Older G15’s can get a beta version of drivers for their keyboards here, and those drivers will even add SideShow to Logitech Z10 speakers!

The G15, with the LCD screen, macros, light-up keys, cord management channels and dedicated media buttons, has a retail price of $100, but Amazon.com will sell it to you for $80. The Z10 speakers, with touch-sensitive sound adjustment controls, an LCD showing track information and now Sideshow, internet radio presets, line input for MP3 players and USB connectivity, can be had for $65.
