The FIRST Gaming Keyboard... in the world
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 бер 2024
- The Logitech G15 was, arguably, the very first real "gaming keyboard".
And it was wild.
So, let's talk about it!

This video's Weed Mario count: 3 (not counting "Weed Mario" but counting the second instance of LCD Weed Mario, because as she said, those are unrelated separated words)
Total count so far: 40
Weed Mario is a symbol of this channel honestly.
I was one of the people reverse engineering these to get them working on Linux back in the day. The G19 (colour screen) runs Linux internally on a Texas Instruments SoC, and there is an unpopulated serial header on the board, giving a root shell. Despite this it never actually runs any applet code, it just receives a stream of pixel data like the monochrome ones. Theoretically you could turn it into a stand alone computer by rerouting the keyboard USB pins to the screen board USB and installing custom firmware.
That's awesome! Is that Linux setup documented anywhere online? I'm just seeing documentation for the display protocol & applets. I can't help but feel the urge to run a custom OS on one of those. (Alternatively, can you pull all the G19-specific info you'd need from a downloadable firmware package?)
It's only a matter of time until someone runs Doom on one of them... if it hasn't already been done.
You just brought back a bunch of hacking memories. In 2000-2007ish getting something weird to run Linux and having root was a bunch of fun. When Linux wouldn't run on it OpenBSD was the next to try.
Thats funny shit
@@bb010gnot that I know of. As far as I remember there is no way to update the firmware over USB, and no firmware or source was ever released by Logitech.
Wonderful 4:3 aspect ration. Great video fami!
One of the few channels which actually has an unique style in editing, everything fits the retro aesthetic so well

How do you know that?
@@Kdkjdjewerdnxa I can’t speak for Gen Alpha but I’ve gone down on some heinous Gen Z dong.
@@1RandomToaster what do you mean by that-
A friend got one of these a few years ago, and we managed to get Bad Apple running on it.
Of course there’s bad apple on it, there always is bad apple on anything that has colour
@@sweetcorm colour isn't even necessary, just anything with a screen and a refresh rate higher than 3
@@saltedmutton7269 who said that there needs to be a screen? What about Bad Apple on Minecraft sheep, or apples, or subtitles and stuff? Maybe I should’ve specified “variations of brightness within objects of the same category” or something instead of “colour”

we need a f4mi x Jeremy Clarkson collab ASAP
YEEEESSSSS
f4mi as Stig
Valid.
Some say...
THIS
f4mi continues to be a secret salesperson for 2005 Logitech stuff
I remember wanting one of these beasts back in the day. Now I use a keyboard that's 1/4th the size...
You are doing it wrong. The mouse needs to bump with your keyboard to increase your reaction time.
I wanted one of those back in the day… and now I want an f122 :(
haha same, I always wanted one with a number pad, but now I've been rocking 65% keyboards and I've never looked back.
@@Draggo. Well depends on what you do. Programmers, Accountants and Enginneers can't live without one.

no way f4mi william foster falling down cosplay 🔥
Falling Down is one of those movies I watched and forgot about somehow, and when she mentioned it, it was like the memory stick was re-inserted and all of a sudden I remembered the whole thing again.
idk how you just "forget" about dfense....
Oh my goodness rhe video is actually encoded in 4:3! I love this!
Best watched on a CRT monitor
@@lucas8913i just did :3
i love when people properly encode stuff, like not saying this in a sneak diss way. bc the vibe is always instantly ruined whenever I end up with double black bars because someone uploaded their 21:9 or 2:1 video in 16:9.
Gonna check it on my CRT. Got a ps3 and 360 plugged in thru component lol
Especially amazing when watching on an iPad
7:21 ifunny brought me here and I am not disappointed.
You're next
Congrats. I found your comment on ifunny featured
Fuck I can't say anything to you that I could easily say on Ifunny here
Containment breach evident.
@@entername6119nooner
I love to see f4mi's videos on my wii plugged to my crt tv, ITS THE BEST THING EVER
LOVE THE ASPECT RATIO
Hi! Do you use WiiMC to watch UA-cam? Does it still work nowadays?
The dedication to go overboard just to get a detail for the video is one of the things that show the passion of their craft. She didn't have to buy the headset. But, in a way, she did have to!
2:31 Hey that's the mouse I am still using to this day
My current mice has a joystick (Zelotes C-18), oh yeah, and it's vertical!!
My daily driver mouse is a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, essentially Intellimouse but with less buttons. Bought it in 2009 and still works to this day
me too haha except it self reports as wheel mouse optical lmao. honestly love it except the polling rate feels kinda low (idk how i can even detect this given how shit i am at games)
i bought an mvp wired cuz its advertised as a modern wmo with rgb and side buttons but sthat shit failed in like a year, past the amazon return date. meanwhiel my wmo i found in the basement that my dad used for years thats older than i am works great
im probably gonna keep it until it dies then get one of the versions that has side buttons
@@emdotrod yeah i love mine i tend to palm it a bit and i have unfortunately long fingers and so the shape works very good for me
This comment made me so happy.
I still remember those mice, but man... that was a loooonnnggg time ago!!! 😂
your backlog of videos just keep getting better and better
okay, the vir sitte hari venten och spelar lite DotA was GENIUS!!!
Again an epic Video f4mi. Looking forward to the next Video.
I almost shit myself when I saw the Basshunter Clip in the Beginning
I used to have the G11!! 😭 Dad gave it to me in 2010 since his cowoker couldn't use it - It was an ANSI US layout, a tragedy for a Czech hunt&pecker lol. At least I learned touch typing :D Though!! It started flashing in 2015, got gunked up, tried to wash it in 2016, half the keys stopped working ,(also the membrane tore... what a tank to take apart) never got it to work again, now it's in e-waste. But man.. still the best and most satisfying keyboard I've ever had, even while having a Cherry MX Red keyboard now.
Amazing video Fami! You did it awesome justice :D
As a Czech touch-typer, I can't stand having a different layout even though I don't look at it. This is keeping me from properly delving into mechanical keyboards and I hate it, lol.
@@TommyAgramonSeththe only way you're gonna get past that is to just get a keyboard with a different layout and ignore your weakling impulses
Im still using the G11s younger brother, the G110 daily to this day, despite owning a mechanical Logitech G513.
It truly is just the best keyboard i've ever used, the media controls, macro keys, it's simply amazing.
As a DBA, that SQL Server 2006 hat is a vibe and I kinda want one.
20:38 ENTHUSIA MUSIC! ❤
I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL!!!!! cool to see how u changed it to be amazing
Fami, is amazing on how you get a mundane subject like a gaming Keyboard and turn it into an amazing vídeo! Love your work! Thanks for this!
the amount of work you put into these videos is insane lol, I could talk about every segment
like mario smoking a blunt showing up in every video 12:33
and this NES character text segment 11:45 xd (and if anyone knows what this is a reference too that would be nice)
The text segment is a reference to Kitsune Zero, a modern indie game styled like an NES game.
ooh cool, thx dude :D
She's got heavies
the weed mario ascii art was peak. great stuff as always f4mi.
Love that your videos are in 3:4, finally I can use all my CRT real estate.
I really enjoy your channel. You come across so naturally in your videos, just a person talking about things they think are cool (and which are cool). Keep up the good work!
You're being super consistent lately and I fucking love it
2:35 🤤🤤🤤
Let them out!!!
7:21 OH GREAT HEAVENS
WE GOT THE VHS FILTER FOR THIS ONE ‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥‼️🔥‼️🔥
I loved this keyboard, it was perfect for playing WoW. The LCD was just basic text though and just showed a list of your character stats, but being able to bind spells from multiple bars was fantastic. I got the G13 when it came out and it was nicer having the smaller footprint and being able to use the joystick for WASD. Plus you could set the LED color for each profile which made being able to tell which profile was selected at a glance much easier.
feeling really validated by this video since i've been using a g15 for well over a decade, i also had no idea about the z10 speakers and there's someone local selling them at an affordable price so tysm ;__;
edit: nevermind the z10 speakers are sold :/
Just FYI, the backlight flickering is extremely easy to fix if you have basic soldering skills. The flickering is caused by the LEDs themselves starting to die, but they are standard square through hole LEDs that you can buy anywhere. If you open up the keyboard, the backlight LEDs are on small PCBs that you can slide right out. Just swap them out, and you should be good to go. You can even change the colors (mine is green now), just be aware that different color LEDs may need different voltage so test them first. I've been using the same G15r1 nearly every day since I got it in 2007, outside of a few minor repairs it still works great!
You missed the G19/G19S! :)
Great video!
A video from F4mi makes my Sunday that much better.
Ahhh, i knew it would be great. Love you for making it in 4:3. I want a pair of those z10 speakers, looks lovely.
Loved this video, it shows how you really put effort into researching about these devices, you’re great!
I still use my MX518 today. The mouse so good they re-released it 15 years later.
She needs to make more videos in that white shirt
You are definitely one of my favourite creators, I'm so glad I found your channel. Keep up the awesome work!! 💕✨
Absolutely love the D-Fens look! I was curious if that was what you were going through when I saw the preview on your Patreon!
Ahem… how far?
I know what you are
You’re a disgusting individual. Let me know what she says in MLA format
we know
Funny yellow app brought me here
that dracula flow rss feed segment was beautiful
This is my 5th f4mi I’ve ever watched after falling down her rabbit hole an hour ago.
Funny, well written and delivered, and also, am I allowed to say, fucking stunningly beautiful.
YEAHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YEAHHHH
Ifunny is drooling over you. Hope this gives you a nice viewership bump. Or should i say "bumps"
Fantastic video as always! I love these in depth looks at obscure tech.
My first time watching your channel.. and I really enjoyed this video!
_yasssss more f4mi content to CONSUME >:3_
F4mi cooking! Thank you for the top notch quality content as always...
I really like the aesthetic of this video. Keep up with the good content and your channel will explode even more!
I love the style, randomness and aesthetic of your videos ♥
I literally just got in my pajamas for bed. I guess sleep can wait :/
Ifunny sent me here, don’t know why
Only just discovered your channel. Amazing stuff F4mi!
Anyway, this was pretty dope, thanks for the rundown! Will look out for a cheap one
So Ifunny brought me here. Hello my fellow crew mates.
Holy moly @7:15
4:40 you can't keep getting away with these wonderful bgm
She can, it's under 10s
You have so quickly become one of my favorite creators. Your passion about various topics is contagious!
iFunny gang. How far that thang be squirtin'?
From IFunny. Nice big bazongas.
Great video as always f4mi, keep up the good work
Loved using the G15 v2 ages ago. Still have a couple and one w/ the box. cool vid.
Gmod physics noises hit right
f4mi is like the gamer girl we all wish to know but is such a unicorn to find...
So happy that you upload with such regularity!!!!
It would be awesome if you made a video about LanParty ! Great video btw the g15 was something I always wanted when I was a kid!
This video is absolutely unhinged and I love everything about it, I knew that I must subscribe from the moment i saw that dracula flow rss segment, absolute gold lol.
Awooga
Milkies
I bought a G15v1 in 2008 from a guy on gumtree for £20. I later sold it to a friend, but ended up with a G19. I was concerned that you hadn’t talked about the G19, until that teaser at the end! Great video, love the deep technical insights. Keep up the quality work!
im using a logitech g510 to this day and i love it just for the keys and the screen to monitor power usage and temps or usage(and fps) also theres a "rgb" script for it which is neat
NEW F4MI VIDEOOO🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
(edit) bro why tf is all these weirdos talkin bout yo boobies n shit☠️ cant they just like not be weird or atleast keep that shit to themselves? damn😭🙏🏾
(edit 2)
loving the vid so far, the fact that its in 4:3 means it can fit on my iPad, and also the effort thats deadass put in these videos is wild. and i wish i had this keyboard😭😭😭 (im this far into the video after this edit 21:33 )
(edit 3) im done watching the video... now i want a Logitech G15 Keyboard.. i will give my kidney. leg, and eye for it if it costs that much, and the speakers too..
(edit 4 SEVEN HOURS LATER) there are STILL mfs sayin inappropriate shit, idk why tf ppl dont just chill tf out with shit and keep it to themselves😭☠️🙏🏾
there's noone talkin bout her boobies what u on to
@@Barisxoxo fr
Damn we got the live review
The 4:3 is awesome I noticed that on my iPad too lol!!
@@kyle51895 yeah
AWOOOOGA!!!!!!
I wish peripherals were still made in this same kind of way, completely jam-packed with features just because they can be. It makes them fun to own and use even if it's a little excessive. Definitely better than the push for total simplicity in the modern peripheral market. I'll definitely be buying one of these!
(Also how have I not found this channel until now? This style of content is so neat!)
I remeber a friend of mine having one of these and I was so blown away. When I then went to buy my own keyboard for my first PC I was super disappointed that these types of keyboards were not really being made anymore
7:41 IFunny brought me here and im not disappointed
Those are some milkers
AWWWOOOGGGGAAAAAA
(Ifunny)
Great video! 👌🏼 keep doing it because you’re already one of my favs content creators❤
I got my G15 a few months back from a thrift store and i love it, i can tell why it was so good back then
7:21 that's some nice milk bags moooooooooo
weird.
so I won’t be the last one from ifunny
Perhaps
You're videos are great a lot of effort and they're special but also different from other tech channels
As I open this video I shift my gaze down a little at my own keyboard. The orange letters G15 emit a friendly glow in my direction. Don't leave me old friend.
7:21 I’m here
The iFunny brood brought me here. With that said anyone else from iFunny seeing this just know we have failed.
That keyboard was freaking cool wtf.
Great video, as always
2:35 I'm not sure that they expected the person buying those premium mouse and keyboard sets to look exactly like that, but they probably wished that they did 🔥
Been checking out your videos since checking out the Smasnug one this morning. I'm really impressed with the levels of research and editing style and you are putting out really engaging content.
16:29 reminds me of the VMU for the Dreamcast. It's immediately better by virtue of not screaming at you to feed it coin cells.
God damnit iFunny
lots of weirdos in the comments, ignore them.
good video
Cronge
First time viewer - besides the absolute wave of nostalgia, your video presenting style is super cool!!
The best thing twitter ever did for me was randomly show your tweets so I'd find your channel because this shit is cool as hell
I’m here from ifunny
Why would you do this
If you are here from I funny like this >>>>>>>>
I accidentally stumbled on your videos and this is just pure nostalgia. thanks mam!
I've had my G11 since it was released and... I'm writing this comment with it, actually. Its membrane is fantastic and love how big it is.
