zomg X-Keys Pro is sooo hawt

Nice. Mine arrived yesterday.

Spent last night cutting out labels and setting it/my UI up. Speaking of UI, Trinity Bars is amazing. I've always used Bongos in the past but Trinity is better by a large margin. I set up Macros directly onto the action buttons -- then copied the Trinity Saved Variables to all of my characters so I only had to do that once for all five accounts.

Here's a photo of my x-keys. It's my first attempt at it, so I'm sure I'll be changing things up as I use it.

A quick screen-shot of the new UI is here.

I got mine yesterday and I just love it, nothing's more easy then to set everything up with that baby in a matter of ... a few minutes!

ARG! Mine is with UPS as well. Why didn't I pay to get 2 day delivery!??!

So...do I get the USB or the other one? >.>

I've got a Pro PS2 from the recent promotion they did, and a Desktop (20 keys) USB from e-bay... the pro took me literally 20 minutes to setup and get my keys bound to it how I wanted them. The end result being about 3-4 hours of cutting out paper labels and putting them into the keycaps...

The USB one comes with a nice utility to setup, however it's not quite as simple as the PS2... all said and done, I don't think you'll be unhappy with either, but I understand there are keysmash issues with USB devices so if you are trying to setup complex hotkeys you may run into problems (I have 1 hotkey for example that presses [] and ctrl-numpad9 at the same time... I don't know if that key plus a few others at the same time (Say I'm trying to stop following while spreading out and wanting to frost nova and arcane exploade while consecrating and shadow word deathing my focus... this works on mine, but thats a lot of keys for USB to process at once.)

Does X-Keys give you an ADDITIONAL set of keys or does it just use current keys but in a different device? In other words, can I set macros to the X-Keys device that are bound to only those keys and not my keyboard (will they show up as different keys in the key binding section when i press them or will they just be the same as the keyboard keys but in a different fashion, meant to replace it and not necessarily be an addition to it?)

It uses standard keymappings but you're able to set it to bizarre combinations you'd be unlikely to be able to press normally.. for example I think I have one set of buttons mapped to Ctrl+Alt+Numeric Keypad.. not a combination I'd be getting much use out of otherwise.

Ok thanks...this seems to work better on a separate PC than 2 accounts on 1 PC if you have different classes with different key mappings. I was planning on a 2nd PC so this would be a good addition to the purchase. Thanks for the info!

can it tell the difference between keys like LCTRL and RCTRL??

I got mine in today.. and I have the blank legend sheets.

They are NOT in any kind of normal page setup. The sheets come in at 8.5x5.5 which is an unusual setting and in Photoshop I can't seem to change the dang page setup.

Anyhoo.. been at it for a few, still trying to figure it out but can't wait!
