Is this windows only?

Currently it looks like it is windows based only. I am an Apple user, so i empathize with you.
I dugg up some contact info for their software developer. Hit them up and let us know what you find: vicken@pertelian.com

The Logitech G15 can do all of that, or will be able to do soon. Plus it is an awesome keyboard.

Oh, you mean this keyboard. Good point, but I am not sure it can do all that, but like you said, maybe in the future.

I have to say that when reading up on the Pertellian I see tons of people comparing it with the logitech G15. This device actually came out before the G15 (another product logi has ripped). Secondly, if you like have a massive keyboard the size of a air craft carrier go with the G15, and all of the support it still doesn’t have for games and/or other programs. With this product being based in a Open Source forum the Pertelian will have continous updates from the people using it. Sometimes small companies are a much more service minded then the big ones. Just my 2 cents.
