Can I use the Logitech G13 keypad with the Logitech G500s mouse? Looking to program keys on G13 and buttons on G500s to be "macros" or keystrokes.

I have that exact setup, and you can program the g-keys individually using Logitech's gaming software across multiple Logitech peripherals. It doesn't matter if you have a G1 on the G13 and a G1 on the mouse, when you program them, they are programmed based on what device the key is physically on. So you can program G1 on the G13 to execute a macro, and G1 on the mouse to emulate a function key, for example.

its probably the best mouse on the market for macroing, i use it for control groups on starcraft and hotkeys in WoW and DotA2. just bind them to the keys on the mouse and go have fun

Sorry, anything that I might say about this would be strictly a guess. I can tell you that my Logitech G11 keyboard does not recognize the additional gaming keys, but does function completely normally as a standard keyboard. There is definitely processing of the digital signals passing through the switch.

Not sure, but when you use the Logitech SetPoint software, you can program the buttons for certain commands. I have one button that pulls all programs into one screen. So you can certainly set up commands and whatnot.

Yes, and no. The driver gives you the three functions listed above. There are no other touchpad functions supported and Logitech apparently has no intention of expanding that functionality. So, you get basic mouse functions with the buttons below. one tap is left mouse click, two fingers is scroll and three fingers is back and forward. Two finger tap doesn't work. Pinch/Zoom doesn't work, etc.

Yes. I use it along with a G13 for AutoCAD at work. Having enter, esc, del, bksp, undo, redo, & other commands always available is a great addition. Honestly, I game at home, but I make better use of the G buttons with productivity software than I ever have in the games (not that I don't use them for those too). For repetitive, command intensive software, programmable keys are the way to go.

this keypad would be perfect not only for that game, but for many others. essentially what it does, is put important keys right into one spot, in this case, wherever he would desire them right onto the keypad, as they are programmable. you don't even need to buy any other Logitech products; the keypad will work all by itself.

No. I use my Razer for SolidWorks 3D modeling and also Final Fantasy XI (mmorpg). I also use a 3D Connexion Space Pilot in parallel in SolidWorks.Interaction with other players is done via typed messages in FFXI, for that reason alone a gaming keypad would not replace a keyboard. Logins are another reason.

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

Yes, you are able to set the programmable buttons to whatever key on your keyboard. If you get the mouse, just go into the driver program that comes with the mouse, and you'll see the list of all the buttons on the mouse ordered 1-7. Just click one and choose the option "single key". Then just press the key you want binded, and that's it. Sorry if that was really on-going. I just wanted to be descriptive.

Yes, I have found this mouse is compatible with all keyboards and software. Doesn't take anything special, just plug the usb adaptor in the usb and it will work.

I have a Logitech M310 mouse that I am using with this keyboard. However, the mouse will not pair with the HP keyboard dongle, so I am using 2 USB ports, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. This configuration works perfectly. Since I have 4 USB ports on my laptop, using 2 for the mouse and keyboard is not an issue especially since I like the keyboard so much.

umm yah BUT you only use the wasd for SOME movement to augment the turning you do with mouse..THE main function of L hand (for R handers) is to activate specials... Furthermore for those of us who use the g13... well hehe... you can literally do EVERYTHING; CTL ALT SFT combos plus the G13 has a small thumb thing you can use to WASD move too. That plus I program the numlock so i can control all that crap faster and with less effort than with the 'standard setup. Now.. add in a wirless mouse... and all you have to do is make sure you are wearing a shirt... so your mouse will track as you move it... while it rests on your belly. umm yah BUT you only use the wasd for SOME movement to augment the turning you do with mouse..THE main function of L hand (for R handers) is to activate specials...

I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

No.It should work without drivers. If you want to change what functions the buttons do then you will need to download 'Setpoint' from Logitech and choose the Mac operating system. http://www.logitech.com/en-au/support/5846?osid=14&bit;=64If you have two or more Logitech products that use the unifying receiver you will also need the unifying software. I believe setpoint has it in it anyway.

Absolutely. That's the whole reason I'm even looking at this mouse. I use my G13, G510s, and G700s almost exclusively for work. I have so many macros set up for just about everything. The software is so flexible. I've just about run out of room on both the G13 and G510s, so I need more "room" for programmed functions. I plan on making the G600 my own soon and being able to really cut loose on macros and so forth.

Hello Marcelo Yes you can. I have one as Ctrl and one key as Shift. I use them in combination with the mouse buttons to select and move/copy items in Windows. In this case, the key must have only one code assigned to it (Ctrl OR Shift OR Alt) otherwise you need to supply the key-up code as well.
