Keyboards, Trackballs, Mouses, Oh my!

I turned that part off since it really did nothing that was needed in that manner. But if you are using Ventrilo, it will show information on who is currently talking (or breathing hard with the push to talk active...) and the names of people logging in and out of channel. For Teamspeak users there is a program (G15_Teamspeak) to download that will do the same thing for that product. There are actually quite a few games now that will output some form of information that will display on that screen now, but usually it is not overly helpful content.

I would love for it to show things like DPS meters.

While that would be what you want, the game itself does not provide that information. To get it would require some API that allows mods to communicate outside of the games LUA sandbox for the mods. I do not think Blizzard should ever think allowing such a thing due to the potential exploitations that could slip in.

There is also the problem that if the information that a game company provided for driving that mini information port was in anyway majorly useful, then that would push that all concerned players would need to acquire some form of hardware that allows it to be accessed by them. Not something that many companies are willing to push onto their customers unless it really is critical to play the game. Ergo, why I said that the information I have seen on the output of other games is usually not too useful for the game play.
