Good News for DX1 Owners

[Katharsis]

Ergodex failed to release Vista drivers for the DX1 pad but a user has developed a new driver that allows for multikey macros in Vista and I'm using it with Windows 7 and the amazing Hotkeynet Multiboxing Software.

Wow.. This looks awesome. May have to pick one up just to try it.

I have read up on the DX1 and while it sounds great I was worried about how well the buttons stay. What holds them down do they move easily?

[Jubber]

I've used the mouse to play FPS games and i liked it while I was using it. Don't use it anymore. However the idea of a keyboard you can shape and move to your liking is awesome.

The reviews are pretty good. When I first started looking at this I wanted to give them a chance to prove themselves and it seems it has done a decent job with the exception of the Vista driver issues.

Interesting these have been out for 10 months now and this is the first we've heard about it.

I first reported my use of the DX1 in Aug 2007. They've been available for a few years.

I've only changed the button arrangement a couple of times. They stay in place until twisted off to be removed.
I've been using the Logitech Trackball since it came out, long before I started playing WoW.

What do you mean by "multikey macros"?

What do you mean by "multikey macros"?

A Dx1 user had written a Vista driver but you could only assign a single key to a button. This new driver allows for a key combination such as Ctrl Alt Shift 1

Thank you very much for the hint of the new driver. I'm using also still the "fan-driver" which allows only a single char / key per button.

btw DX1 and Logitech Trackball are great to box!
