I always thought that was an awesome little addition.

All the G15 code is still in and available on request, it was just disabled in the official release, which apparently reduced certain mouse issues:

Though the mouse issues should be properly fixed in 2.0, so we could enable G15 by default again (?)

What do you mean, on request? Could I request? I got my G510s (same thing as G15, instantly works with all my G15 programs) all set up, and would love to have support for it.

Or do you mean I can enable it with a console command?

No, you need to compile it differently.

Else you could ask someone to pass on a binary that has G15 support enabled.

I don't have one with that support because I am not really worried about that stuff showing on my keyboard.
And also, I am unable to compile for windows.

I'm sorry to bring up such an old thread, but is there anyway someone could make a version that enables it for the newest version? I just updated and realized I'm SOL now... If not, I understand, but I don't know anything executables and stuff. Konar6 the version you gave me before worked amazing, thank you.

This should be 3.0 with G15 support enabled, but I have no G15 hardware to test. Please let me know whether it works for you.

FWIW, I still use my G15 keyboard. But haven't used the screen in some time.

I could also possibly give this a try for testing.

Would be nice if you can do a quick test with the binary.
