What the heck? G15 Keyboard

777Driver · Feb 5, 2015

Have had a G15 Keyboard for over a year, been using it in ED since Beta, it's just another keyboard to me, all my controls are through my HOTAS and Voice attack and I cant see it in game because I fly with a DK2.

Just got home and by chance looked at the LCD display, it's telling me the system I'm in and has been logging my routes :/ When was this added in game? Have never noticed this before.

I have that keyboard too, have not been looking at the screen. Must check it out this evening.

Is this happening in Beta or on live for you?

My Logitech G510 isn't showing anything that I've noticed, but tonight after work I will look again. I hope their is something added.

I've been in live all today, perhaps it's something to do with installing the Beta? I do have slopey's installed for route logs, but I'm pretty sure this is something new.

Logitech knows where you have been. They will send ad mail to COL Sector 3539752-2 IV now. Tough luck!

Are you using any 3rd party trading tools, I'm sure one of them was publishing stats to the 'G' keyboards.

Edit: just saw the post that you are using slopey's, I think it might be the source.

I use the G-hotkeys for communication macros.

I must have heard it somewhere. Slopey's if I don't go wrong.

That's the only thing I can think off, neat little feature.

How? Can you record a text and enter it in the chat with one keypress? Really?

It's my BPC, not ED itself. I added support for G series devices a few versions ago.

It'll show current system (along with known stations), top 3/6 (if you have a Gxxx/G19) trades outbound within the criteria set in the Best Profit tab, and the last 3 or 6 systems you visited.

I also do it with voice attack, have a a whole bunch of phrases. The software types and sends the msg for me.

Need to take a serious look at that keyboard then.

Nice one mate, great work! I use your tool for logging my routes, surprised that I never noticed it was doing that before.

I will have to dig mine out as the Strike 7 with touch screen was a big disappointment.....

For those interested, some screenshots of the BPC applet are in this topic:

Just looked at my profiler and there is no ED applet but there is one for Slopeys
