My G510s seems to be crapping out soon, and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a used one...

I know it's old, outdated, and kind of buggy, but I loved my G510s. Always had MSI Afterburner open on the G510s screen. I loved seeing all of my GPU usage. Power, Clock speed, Fan, Memory, GPU Usage(percentage)

Any other full keyboards out there with a screen anyone knows of? I guess it didn't sell enough for Logitech to continue producing
 
I also have an aged G15 keyboard (also, love the screen for your reasons above) and I am tired of the rubbery spongey keys. I am going to be ugprading to a G413 and using Arx software.
 
I too miss the G15 screen loved having that front and center. I have it stored somewhere and it was working when retired. That's when I added my second monitor and I love the real estate for monitoring stuff while in game for example. If you don't have the space available for an extra monitor there are other options that might help you all out. Try one of these and put Aida64 Extreme OSD on it <<< very customizable >>> even better use Aida's Sensor Panel to customize the screen even more. It's a bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort in the end. In any case what ever direction you take you won't be missing that little screen in no time.

 
Yeah the OSD screens are nice. I had some trouble in the past with OSD screens and Battlefield actually. Used to crash out of the game, maybe thinking it was a cheating system. Uninstalled the OSD and worked fine. Maybe those issues are a thing of the past
 
The little screen albeit small (480x800) is a separate monitor and seen in the gpu's control panel when you extend the desktop and use your primary screen for gaming there is no issue with being kicked. I can confirm from BF2 on, BF Vietnam BF3 BF4 & BF1 the same for COD WAW on up there is no issue w/second screen but I have heard of issues with overlay (not OSD) which shows up on the main screen in game causing kicks.

Yeah, not sure why they don't even make the G15 or a true successor anymore. They have become so obsessed with mechanical keyboards they offer almost nothing else for the gamer. My G15 was working great until I accidentally spilled some water on it. Not soda or juice or anything like that, just purified water right out of a water bottle. Unfortunately it never worked again, despite multiple attempts to dry it and clean it.
 
I had this same problem with upgrading my G19 (the color screen version). I resolved this using AIDA64 and a 2012 Nexus tablet when I transitioned to the K95 from Corsair. I now have more information at my disposal than before and its far crisper and easier to see.

This is viewed as an LCD from AIDA but not an additional monitor with windows.

Holy crap that is awesome. That is through the AIDA app on Android communicating with the Aida App on PC?

I used to use a g15, had the screen customized to show day, date, time, volume, internet UL/DL speeds, weather for my area, free space on my HDD's, thread and RAM use, etc. Picked up an Orion Spark and used my old cell phone for an ARX display. Man, they're dropping the ball with ARX. I can't do ANYTHING with it but what it offers stock - which is kind of nice, but not a patch on what I did with the g15. I WISH that someone woudl cook up some scripting for the ARX and let me customize it like i did my old LCD display.

How customizable is AIDA? That looks nice, but it looks like pretty standard hardware monitoring info. Does it let you do any of the other stuff I mentioned above? I know AIDA is pretty much for hardware monitoring, but if it did more, that would be helpful.

Logitech should just get their shit together with ARX. They had a great idea - many ppl have old cell phones sitting around in a drawer, outdated, and abandoned for new models. If you don't, they're easy and cheap to come buy. Those big color screens are a great canvas, and Logitech doesn't even have to pay to include them to use them to sell their product.

Very, very customisable, you can do pretty much anything you can imagine with AIDA64 and ARX – gauges, diagrams, numbers etc. for any senor it reads (using G19 right now but used ARX+AIDA64 for a while with mechanical keyboard and old tablet but didnt find mechanical all that enticing and had too many complaint from my wife about the noise at night so I went back to G19).
 
I have been on the hunt for the g510s replacement, and even decided I would be willing to lose the LCD screen. I just can’t find a good keyboard that matches the size of the Logitech.

I tried the Logitech 910 Spectrum but hated the spacing of the keys and also the smaller palm rest.
