View Full Version : G15 problem: complex G keys not working

I have a problem with my G15 (old model) keyboard.
Using the profile manager I've bound the G Keys to "complex strokes", i.e. ALT+CTRL+<a key>
To be sure I've opened the profile manager that allows you to see what keys are you pressing.

*) I launch a single wow, fullscreen, Pressing the G-Keys register the correct key combination in the manager, and the correct key combination to the game. ok
*) I launch a single wow, windowed, works as the fullscreen one, ok.
*) I open Keyclone (without launching any wow) and the G keys still work good.
*) I open Keyclone and launch 5 windowed wow. If I put my mouse in the profile manager, the keys are registered correctly, If I put my mouse in the wow windowses (any of the 5), wow doesn't record any keypress and profile manager will only show G1, instead of, of instance, G1,Alt,Ctrl,Q (as it should have).

however, if I set my G keys to input a single keystroke (let's say 1), it works flawlessly.

I've tried setting my wow profile to be the default one, I've tried changing the default profile. All had the same result.

I am running Vista Ultimate 64, Keyclone run as administrator... not sure what else could help you guys.

I am pretty lost here. Any idea?

Hey Tonyx;

I run the same keyboard and the same OS as you. My setup is two computers with KavoomKM setup to work between them. I run my main only on my main computer and the 4 slaves on my second computer. I use all 18 G-keys with the G-15 keyboard add-on (not a lot was working until i got this addon).

To understand your setup. You have the G-key bound to CNTL-ALT-D for G4 for example using the profile manager. You tab to the window that you are trying to control and try to bind the G4 key to a button using Bartender (or some other similar app)?

I have keyclone setup to pass (whitelist and then add specific keys) all my G-keys and some of my number pad keys. I use the cntl-pause to switch between sending all keys to the clones and not. For my configuration i have this setup in keyclone on both computers so if i get attacked when i am over on a secondary screen looting or looking at a quest reward i can respond from that screen with a lightning bolt or throw down some totems.

I am not at home so i cant try out the combo you are using, Try some of these ideas and i can help you more on sunday when i get home.

While I appreciate what MS is trying to accomplish with their security changes to Vista, it's a complete pain in the ass...
