Logitech G11

[Captain Orso]

I've read that sever people have also had issues with Logitech Gaming Keyboards, specifically that assigning key-presses to the G-Keys doesn't work.

 

For example I program the lower set of 6 G-Keys for adjusting trim:

 

G-Keys:

<G13> - <G14> - <G15> -

<G16> - <G17> - <G18> -

 

Programmed key-presses:

<RCtrl><z> - <RCtrl><:> - <RCtrl><x>

<RCtrl><,> - <RCtrl><.> - <RCtrl></>

 

However, in game DCS doesn't seem to recognize any key-presses, for example when I try to use <G13> and <G15> to adjust rudder trim.

 

If I go into DCS Keyboard setting and try to use the G-Keys to set a function, for example 'Trim Rudder Left' and press <G13>, settings recognizes <RCtrl>, but not the <z>.

 

I've read the suggestion to program macros for this. The issue with that is that each pressing of a G-Key then translates to pressing for example <RCtrl><z> for an exact number of milliseconds and then releasing, which is really bad for adjusting trim.

 

If you theoretically press <RCtrl><z> through pressing <G13> programmed for 1/4sec each press causes only a very small adjustment. If you press multiple times, the keystrokes of course will not be quicker, plus they will buffer if you press quicker than 1/4sec when you stop pressing, the buffered key-presses will continue coming.

 

I'd like the G-Keys to work like they should, translating to a key-press for exactly as long as I press the G-Key and not a programmed length of time.

 

Does anybody know a solution?

 

Many t(h)anks in advance.

Had issues with the logitech G keys and dcs a while ago.

I ended up with changing the DCS key commands, so that the commands I wanted on the G keys, did not use any modifiers.

 

So if the command I wanted on the G key was "Ctrl + z", then I would change that to just be "z".

 

This is the only thing that worked reliably for me. To bad if this still doesn't work as it should.

Thanks runibl, that is probably what I'll wind up doing.

 

I don't even know if the issue is with DCS or Logitech, and beyond 'workarounds' I've never heard anybody actually even try to find out what the actual issue is.
