Since i picked up a G13 I was looking for a way to get it to display info from Elite and my applet search led me to
this post on Elite Dangerous Codex.
Its a companion app for your keyboard that has a few features. Depending on which keyboard you own, you can get the following features:
- Status: System information when you arrive in system. Includes Allegiance, Power Play status, Population, Economy and Government.
- Space Traffic Control: Make it sound like you are hearing radio calls from stations and ships (configured to only happen in SC with Volume and density of traffic).
- Galnet Ticker: Galnet News on a Ticker Tape
- Reddit Elite Dangerous Ticker: Latest posts from the Elite Dangerous Reddit.
- Radio Controller: Preconfigured for a few ED specific stations, but customizable.
- Play Spotify Premium: If Spotify is your Jam, you can use this to control it. Includes a few Space Based playlists.
- Elite TV: A few Elite Dangerous based Youtube Channels.
It works on the G13/15/19 keyboards, but I had an issue with the program and had to go back to an older version first before I was able to use it. If you have a G13 I will post instructions here to fix the issue if it happens to you.
Also, if you DON'T have a G series Keyboard, you can still use this app. it will give you a little window with most of the features to enhance the game for you.

Requirement is .NET Framework 4.6.1
Here is the info for the issue I encountered:
► Show Spoiler
When I initially installed the App, the standard arrow controls of the G13 display would not work. I asked the author about it, and he saw no reason why it wouldn't work. I had downloaded the latest Logitech drivers and the latest App. I played around a bit and went back to his Reddit post.
At the top he had a link to the latest version of the app. But there was a link to the older version. When I installed the older version first, it then updated itself and everything started working.
See his original post on
Reddit Here. You will see a link to a download of the original that he says when you install will have to update itself.
