Okay, so I've been working on a side project for about 4 hours total now, which is a simple little DLL for .NET that lets you control a Logitech G15 keyboard.

It uses two DLLs I had to scour the web for, which let you control the LCD of the keyboard and the LEDs. (I didn't write them, but I'm using them. So sue me.)

I still have to test it, but at least one third of it is working so far.

Here's the feature set:

Class G15Interface

When instantiated, checks to find any active G15 keyboards (G15c1, G15v2). If no keyboards are available, the class simply nulls out the G15 access objects, but the Low-Level keyboard hook still works.

About that. The DLL has a few functions available to place a hook into the Windows subsystem that allows you to do all sorts of things (please, keep it White Hat ). For example, while testing I had the thing disable the Win key (no word on alt-tab or ctrlaltdel), and it worked great. It's also fairly easy to do.

So, what I have left to do is finish filling out an Enumeration (I have like 200 VK_* codes, except for, lol, A-Z and 0-9 on the Num row [numpad is in]).

In short, it's a coder-friendly, stable library that lets you do whatever the fuck you want with a G15 keyboard, and do a little less but still fun stuff with a generic keyboard, wrapped up nicely into three DLLs and one class.

So, when it's done and the documentation is written, should I release it?

This is what it'd let you do

Nifty.

Yeah, it'd be nice to release.

In case anyone wants to see what's in there, here's the current documentation on the DLL. Enjoy

NOTE: If you download it and get a "navigation error" screen, you have to "unblock" the file, since Windows security is preventing you from viewing the contents of the file. Right-click it, select properties, click "unblock", then hit OK and try again.
