How to Program Applets for the Logitech G15 Keyboard
An applet is an application that performs a predefined task when executed. The Logitech G15 keyboard is a gaming-centered keyboard that allows you to program certain keys to execute specific predefined tasks when pressed. Called macros, the capability of the device to record and play back keystrokes can provide a significant advantage to some gamers. Although the keyboard supports plug-and-play capability, like many USB devices, programming macros for your Logitech G15 keyboard requires that you install Logitech's accompanying software.
