The Razer Tarantula, Anyway to get this keyboard to work?

Ive had no luck with it. Keys are unbound but ISboxer doesnt reconize the L1-L5 and the R1-R5 keys. Got this after my G15 crapped out on me at the 1 year mark. Any help would be great!

Does it come with software? My keypad does, and it does not send the regular ascii codes. Not sure if ISboxer can translate, if anyone can it's Lax

meh I found a way to get it to work via the software. I have to add a combo like Ctrl + Alt + M to innerspace, then I have to go into the software and change teh key so it acts like Ctrl + Alt + M.

Was hoping for an easier way, but oh well.

Unfortunately most device manufacturers use custom data that make it difficult to add native support for the device. Some devices, such as the n52 and n52te, have an option in the software to use a Direct Input mode (n52 lets you assign "DI Button"), which Inner Space supports. I don't know if the Razer software has this option, but if they do, then that's the trick ;) Alternatively, if it will let you emulate presses of F13-F24 (keys which don't appear on your keyboard anyway), those should work fine.

Thanks for the reply and love your work btw. I cant seemt to get it to act as F13-F24. Think I may just go buy a G15..lol.

I have that same keyboard and just set the keys to odd ctrl-alt-shift combinations that aren't ones my ftl keys would ever do - then after that i have hardly noticed them as any different from any other kind of key.

I have the 5 down the left switch active characters 1-5 and the ones on the right just toggle repeats and keymaps.

The new G15 is three banks of six keys each.
The old G15 is three banks of eighteen keys each.

If you don't care about the LCD display... which I rarely use in wow..
A G13 has the 3x18 hotkey banks of the old G15.
I'd take that over the new G15 any day.

The current G11 is the same as the G15 v1, but without the LCD. I'd take that over the G15 v2 any day.
