    Wow £75, rip off IMO. It looks similar to the saitek cyborg commando unit(that right?) for like £20 and the only difference is that the logitech has an LCD screen, if you have a G15 why buy an LCd screen for an accesory?.

    This! If they did I'd get one to match, as a n52te would be out of place

    It's 4.98*

    but for 70 odd quid you may as well have shelled out for a G15 in the first place. Infact, for that money you could buy a G15 and a G11. They need to reduce the pricepoint of this for it to make sense for anyone.

    Do many people actually use these sorts of things? They've always seemed like a bit of a gimmick to me.

    Logitech need to do more to get more developers using the LCD display that their devices have too, because even these days, very few games put it to decent use.

    Are things like this any good to begin with? Can't say I've ever really seen the point of these types of things, but then again I've never used one.

    G15 v.1 users will know exactly why they've done this.

    The G15 v.2 had the majority of the macro keys removed and was universally panned as a backwards step.

    Instead of admitting this they've now released the missing keys in a half-baked accessory.




    Yes, I have a G15 v.1 ... and yes, I'm smug

    Another very happy V1 owner here

    Simply cannot fathom how they've got the nerve to charge that much for it when the keyboard itself costs nearly half the price?!

    And besides, again they've cleverly made it totally useless for left handed people.
    They immediately decrease the potential size of their customer base by around 10%
