LCDSirReal, also known as SirReal’s multipurpose G15 plugin, is a small applet for the Logitech G13/G15 gaming keyboards. Unlike many other plugins, it’s very small and fast, and doesn’t require anything else except the TeamSpeak2 DLL (which is included). If you don’t use TeamSpeak 2, you can even delete the file TSRemote.DLL. Whether you are a gamer or just like to keep tabs on what your computer is doing, this is the applet to use.
This plugin will also work on the G19, but it’ll be in black and white – a better option would be LCDHost.
You’ll want to review the contents of lcdsirreal.txt, the configuration file. Double-click it to open it in a text editor such as notepad. LCDSirReal looks for it’s configuration files where the executable is, or in My Documents\LCDSirReal. It will also write it’s log files there.
Each of the G15 soft buttons corresponds to one ‘slot’ in the plugin where you can select which ‘module’ to show. You can have more than one module listed for a slot, and the first one to have anything to show will be used. You can force switch between modules using CTRL+softbutton.
If the G15 keyboard isn’t available or is unresponsive, LCDSirReal shows a small window with it’s display in it. Closing the window terminates LCDSirReal. Clicking on the slots simulates softbutton presses. Hold down mouse button on a slot to do a long-click. Right click to cycle a slot’s contents (like CTRL-softbutton does).
Vista Notes: When running under Windows Vista, LCDSirReal does not require Administrative privileges unless you want to use the speaker switching.
The best applet ever for the G15. More so, it is so good and useful that the purchase of a G15 is justified just because of this applet.
ReplyDeleteI want to use a small music program that I have had for years. It's called Simple MP3. I would like to have the media key keys work with that. I have set the global hotkey in Winamp, but there is no option to do that in Simple MP3. Will this help?
