Awesome!!! now I can set all my macros for cake mania!!!
Now you can set Macros for your Macros
I want a macro that makes new macros
Yo dawg we heard you like macro keys so we put some macro keys on your macro keys so you can use your macros while you're using your macros.
(no I don't know where that meme came from either)
From "Pimp My Ride"

Wow, wouldn't 5000 be unusable in most games? I hardly go above 1500 on my G5.
Pretty soon it'll be over 9000!
That really isn't funny. I should'nt be laughing.
Crank up the DPI and lower the sensitivity, it gives you more accuracy and is still controllable. That's the point of it anyway, though I think the whole DPI thing is really a waste of time.
Yes the 3200dpi on my G9 is already laughably high.
But, I already do that, and it's sensitive enough unless your using some 19200000000000x10800000000000 display where you would be skipping pixels.
If I ever saw someone over the age of 16 playing with this, the only word I'd be able to conjure is "asshole". Really, is this what life has come to? Gamers, get a girlfriend, get out of the house! Sunlight and fresh air won't kill you. And so what if Lord Remulack from the planet of Squab tortures your avatar while you're away, you'll at least have your dignity.
Hey... Im a gamer, have a wife, and love to be online and playing! AND SHE LETS ME!
Get over yourself tupelo, gaming isn't just for kids anymore.
im lord remulack and you know nothing of my work
Actually, I -am- a wife, and my husband and I both play. I replaced my Nostromo with the G13 last week and I absolutely adore it. Not everyone who plays computer games with skill are no-life basement nerds with no hope of successful relationships. But thanks for playing.
So because someone likes gear they are an asshole? You realize what site you are on right now right?
That thing's a beast! I'd be afraid of using it, it might try to harvest my body for some kind of robotic power source.
I'm not much of a computer gamer, but that rig sure tempts me.
now thats a great add-on to my command center.
Because Simplicity... is for Pussies.
That set looks sweet, and I cant wait to get those headphones! WOW They look pimptastic for 129$ 7.1 surround goodness
Wow, I think I may have stumbled upon the anti-me. Hey anti-me!
well hello!? I just had a roomate move in, I am going to need awesome headphones to replace my 7.1 Audio system that shakes the apartment... I dont see anything wrong with that?
Hello. Well for a start you only have 2.0 ears.
Anyway, never mind, didn't mean nothin by it :-)
@Wolf
You have 2 ears, not 2.0 ears. If someone drops something behind you, you can tell it is behind you based on echo, how your ear funnels the soundwave to your drums, etc. This may simply have 2-3 drivers in each earphone, which can emulate 7.1 surround sound.
Actually, people mostly use the difference between what they hear in their left and right ears to tell what direction a sound is coming from. If you have some stereo headphones about, see here for a good example of this: http://www.moillusions.com/2007/04/virtual-haircut-audio-illusion-mp3.html
7.1 speakers work because they physically position the different sound sources around you. Having more than 2 discrete channels on headphones is largely pointless, especially if you have a decent quality stereo mix.
Good Lord. How much faster can I set up my dispenser, teleporters, and sentry gun with this thing?
Not as fast as I can sap your sentry, dispenser, teleporter, and backstab you.
I hate spies
Lol. I wish I could Uber my SG.
To be added on my list when I decide to conquer the world !
Thanks Logitech... Yet you still have to fix your damn un-updated G9 Setpoint drivers but you have the time to release a new G9 version before that I get mine fixed...
Seriously? For my taste that's a little too much.
Yesterday I watched Death Race. This set kind of looks like the big fat armored car :D
I believe domestic gamers already sound like space squirrels.
I just realized I need all of those.
what about the DVORAK layout?
Get the first G15 (blue one), and pop out the keys into a DVORAK layout. And yes I typed this on my G15 swapped into a DVORAK layout.
I cant even begin to imagine all the driver/bloatware that will come with all that. *shudders*
I have a G5 and G15 and I don't recall any bloatware, as for the drivers there was 2 installers (keyboard and mouse) that included the software to customize the settings and LCD display.
G35?
Makes me want to buy an Infinti.
"2.0 ears" :-D
Right, because you need DVORAK to press WASD faster
well, i kinda like being home.
and while i do have a girlfriend (well more like some.)
They think that being a nerdy gamer is hot.
so good for me! lmao.
If any female saw that thing in your house....... you would be sorely mistaken, if you think youre gonna get some tonight.
Excuse me, but my extremely hot Brazilian girlfriend just loves my blue G15. AND she plays WoW. Horde, no less.
Get with the times, Grandpa. And I am 33.
$200 for the G19!?!?
I'll stick with my G11 TYVM.
Yeah, and maybe another grip other than that fairly useless (if cool) photogrip please, Logitech.
Logitech fanboys everywhere, including myself, just shed a tear of joy. Is this really Logitech's first attempt at a headset geared toward hardcore gamers? I would gladly opt for this G35 over the Razer Megalodon, also recently announced.
