Keyboards: Do they make one with an IM window?

[Niku]

I am looking for a way to monitor IM windows while i play video games. A keyboard like the Logitech g15, with capabilities specifically designed for monitoring AIM, Gtalk, or trillian would be great. and hey, if there is an overlay option like the one built in to Xfire or steam that works with the mainstream messengers, i would be all about it.

G19 has few apps like that, but $200 for a KB is expensive.

If you want AIM/MSN, just use Xfire. It supports both of these.

I used to have something that me use any app i wanted in game. I think it was called "game overlay" or something generic like that

Some messaging applications can "Float on Top" and have some sort of opacity.

Thats awesome! About 6 months ago, i looked in to this, but it wasnt available. Now I have my status in Gtalk set to "use AIM to message me in game". This completely eliminates my need for any other kind of peripheral. That was a great catch. And thanks much for it!

No problem! Been using Xfire for like 4 yrs!
