I just got a Logitech G15 keyboard and it's not being detected by my ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard during post.

During POST the LCD on the keyboard flashes and I receive a "keyboard error or no keyboard present". If I plug in my old USB keyboard and boot into windows and swap keyboards, the OS detects my G15, but it doesn't work. The only thing is that the G- keys act as a broken number pad (i.e. G1 behaves like F1, G13-18 type the numbers 1-6, respectively).

The LCD works within windows, that is the LCD performance monitor displays RAM and CPU usage correctly and it displays the time and date okay. Just none of the keys work. Also, using the Logitech Keyboard Profiler within Windows, I can run tests on the G keys and change the Mode keys through the software, so that works okay.


I have the latest BIOS flashed from ASUS and have downloaded the latest Windows drivers.


Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a busted keyboard?

edit: I've just tried this keyboard on other computers with the same results so it must be the keyboard.

edit2: Holy crap! The Logitech customer support guy told me he was "reluctant to troubleshoot my issue" because I had a home-built machine. He wanted me to find a HP or Dell computer to try the keyboard on before he'd work with me. What the hell?
 
Turned out to be a bad keyboard. RMA'd it to newegg and the replacement one worked right out of the box.
 
My G15 is all jacked up now. The LCD no longer works. Not sure exactly what happened to it, but it is a little older now. It used to work. Oh well.
