Battlefield 2 + G15 Keyboard

Re: Battlefield 2 + G15 Keyboard

Why press buttons when I can just look down for a second and see all the info I need without distracting myself from pressing buttons to find out info.


Yea if you don't know your key mappings...that would be good. Who doens't know what they mapped there keys to?

I'm not knocking the keyboard....the server info is a nice feature...just not for the price of it. I just don't see how that keyboard would help me in bf2.

1. while you press tab, someone pops out from infront of you and kills you, while I glance down and pop him before he pops me.

2. can your keyboard have each button have a diffrent radio transmit ? I think not, I can ...

G1 = Calls medic
G2 = Call Resupply
G3 = Calls Repair

and so on ......

And you said "no for the price of it" ... 45 dollars is nothing considering you pay 20-40 for the cheapest piece of crap out there.

A couple very good sites for G15 macro and mod information are:

I love mine, though I use my Nostromo. Having all the command rose mapped to keys makes requests and comments so much quicker.

Free > $45. So taking you eyes off the screen to hit G1 etc is quicker then hitting Q (or whatever you had it mapped to) and moving the mouse?

Still don't see the reason to buy it.

I'm not against buying it, chit...I went and bought another laser mouse just to get 2 more buttons so I can map them. Haven't seen a reason to buy it.

Is there a way to view a Best Buy store's inventory on their website? I have quite a few friends who work there...

Yes, but it does it's check by what was listed in the inventory the nigh before. So they could be sold out today....but won't update there inventory till tonight.


The only issue I have with the keyboard, is that some of the keys that I have remapped are in the default postion (print screen, scroll lock and pause). On my keyboard they are right over the numbpad, which is where everything is remapped to.

So all those GXX keys i have no use for cause they are on the otherside of the keyboard.

The LCD can be programs for some usfull stuff outside of the game correct? Like Video Card temp and other system stats you would have to tab out to view?

While you press q or whatever and move your mouse around to get the radio transmit you want, while by one click on any of the 18 G buttons I get radio transmit without having to move the mouse around and ****, and if you are a squad leader you gotta press something other then Q to get squad leader transmits, while again all I have to do is press 1 button without even looking for it, all memorised by touch.

But to each their own and Im not trying to forice you to buy anything you dont want, just stating some facts.

And like I said, its has lots of uses apart from games ... like getting programs to run in one click and keeping your desktop clean of tons of icons ... for example, I can start photoshop, calculator or anything else for that matter in 1 botton click without going to program folder or the start menu, alot more convinient.

I tried this one out and while it did install, it kept wanting to reinstall on my pc everytime I did a restart. (Even after I uninstalled it )
