Interesting email from a GM

But when you put a multi-key cap on an Xkeys it recognises it as a single key.

So it's a software change rather than a hardware? I always thought it was basically the same as the stick analogy. I'm not familiar with it enough to know though just what I've read here. If it's software why even have a 2x2 cap? Or does the software read it as press these two buttons to do this. If that makes any sense. EG: press ctrl c = copy or press x+y = ctrl+v

You setup your x-keys with single keycaps, button 1 is Q and button 2 is W, then you put a dual cap on it and press Q and W at the same time. If you put it in programming mode and press the dual cap it records a single keystroke not two seperate keys.

But you can't have a single key stroke that hits Q and W - they are two separate keys no matter how you set it up in your hardware and software.

So with a G15 it is against the rules to bind Alt-1 to one of your G keys? Weather boxing or not.
Or in any Key replication software (HKN Keyclone etc) to make a keymap that sends more then one key to a client? Like hitting 3 and sending 3 to one client and alt-3 to another?

On the basis of some of the arguments that would be the case.

I personally believe it is not. I think they are more concerned with automation. Hitting one key and walking away while your dude(s) farm away or whatever.
